Do the New York Mets have enough starting pitching depth?

You can never have too much pitching. And since spring training began on Feb. 17, the New York Mets have lost a pair of starters in Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat) to injury.

The Mets responded by signing veteran right-handed pitcher José Ureña to a minor league deal on Thursday. They also have Tylor Megill, Griffin Canning and Paul Blackburn who will likely serve as rotation depth. But do the Mets have enough arms? That remains to be seen.

It's not a promising sign that Manaea and Montas will miss the beginning of the regular season. Kodai Senga is also coming off an injury plagued 2024 campaign, which saw him pitch just 5.1 innings last year before returning to serve as an opener in the postseason.
