Mets Reportedly Have Discussed Kodai Senga Trade, 'Multiple Teams' Interested

The New York Mets reportedly are mulling the idea of trading one of their starting pitchers.

Per The Athletic's Will Sammon, the Mets have had trade discussions about their starting pitchers, including Kodai Senga. Sammon noted that "Senga is attracting trade interest from multiple teams."

According to Sammon, teams view Senga "as an interesting buy-low candidate" after a rough 2025 season that featured an injury.

Senga 6-3 record to go along with a 1.59 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 65 strikeouts in 68 innings, with a 2.4 WAR through the first few months of the season, but suffered a hamstring injury in June and was sidelined for nearly a month.

He struggled following his return in July and finished the 2025 campaign with a 7-6 record behind a 3.02 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP.

In September, amid his struggles, the Mets optioned Senga to Triple-A. He was eligible to return to the majors later that month, but told manager Carlos Mendoza that he wasn't quite ready. He ultimately closed out the season in the minors.

At his best, Senga is a valuable piece of the Mets' rotation, but his struggles to close out the season played a part in New York's postseason absence. If the Mets feel confident in Senga turning things around, they might opt to hold on to him.

If not, he's a relatively affordable option, and New York should have plenty of trade suitors. The 32-year-old is owed $28 million over the next two seasons and has a club option in 2028.

What exactly the Mets want in return is unclear, though Sammon noted they're seeking rotation help.
