Reports: Mets Shopping Kodai Senga as Rotation Overhaul Begins

Executives describe the right-hander as highly available, signaling a broader willingness to move veterans.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that Kodai Senga is “extremely available,” with multiple executives expecting the Mets to explore a trade this winter.
  • SNY’s Andy Martino said Senga is being discussed in trade talks and drawing interest around the league, though a deal is not certain.
  • Passan also reported that Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil are available as the Mets evaluate significant roster changes beyond their young core.
  • Senga posted a 3.02 ERA over 22 appearances in 2025 after a dominant start, then a hamstring injury, a diminished return, and a demotion to Triple-A without a late-season recall.
  • Senga has roughly two years and $28 million guaranteed remaining with a 10-team no-trade list, and outlets flagged the Orioles, Cubs, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Padres as plausible suitors seeking starting pitching.
