Last winter showed the NY Mets how they can trade Sean Manaea or Kodai Senga

Tim Boyle of Rising Apple argues that the New York Mets should trade pitchers Sean Manaea or Kodai Senga this winter to clear roster space. Drawing a comparison to trading Jeff McNeil to the Athletics, the writer suggests the Mets can move either pitcher by agreeing to absorb part of their remaining salary to offload the contracts.

The article notes that moving Manaea or Senga, who are coming off down seasons, would free up critical rotation and bullpen spots for 2027. Boyle contends that rival teams could find value in Manaea's versatility or Senga's relief potential if owner Steve Cohen agrees to cover half or more of their salaries.
