Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
He was the bench coach in Binghamton for the past five seasons, which means he's had overlap with Francisco Alvarez, Brett Beatty, Carson Bench, A.J. Ewing, Nolan McClain.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
Zach Thornton, Jonah Tong, the list goes on and on and on.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
Obviously, he's worked more closely with the position players, and he will continue to.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
But again, this just shows you it's that continuity.
Dylan CampioneHOST
Christian Scott is a guy that's going to probably be in that rotation.
Dylan CampioneHOST
And then you've got a mixture of Zach Thornton, Sean Minaya, Jonah Tong, Kodai Senga, Tobias Myers.
Dylan CampioneHOST
That all could be in that starting pitcher to relief pitcher mold.
Dylan CampioneHOST
I think Thornton is either going to be in the rotation of AAA, but the rest of those guys you could see swing between the rotation and the pen.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
That would push Christian Scott to the fourth spot.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
Zach Thornton could be your fifth starter, but he'd also be able to compete with a bunch of other guys like Sean Minaya, like Jonah Tong, Tyler McGill, the list goes on and on.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
If you get to a point where Zach Thornton's spot in the rotation is not earned, you've done your job this offseason.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
And if you look at who can be the number three in the Mets rotation and you're focused primarily on free agency...
12 MINS LATER
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
And if you do land Scooble, well, now your rotation is set.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
Tarek Scooble, Nolan McClain, Clay Holmes, one through three.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
With Christian Scott, Zach Thornton, Sean Minaya, Jonah Tong, Tyler McGill, Jonathan Santucci, Jack Wenninger, and Gary Gilhill as your depth options.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
All of those guys, Thornton, Minaya, Tong, all of them, all of a sudden are now just competing for that fifth starter spot.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
Apparently Zach Thornton's not in that conversation, which is a little bit surprising, but maybe they're just trying to keep that chip on Thornton's shoulder.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
He says that isn't to say that the guys in the next group, including Sean Minaya, Zach Thornton, Jonah Tong, and Tyler McGill, can't be part of a rotation from the start of the season, but the Mets will see what upgrades they can make to that group before opening day.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
It's an interesting free agent class, and there's a lot of mid-tier options.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
I mean, a larger list of them.
Joe DeMayoHOST
a potential to be a big time strength.
Joe DeMayoHOST
Cause you mentioned guy, like even a Jonah Tong, you didn't mention, like he showed some really promising things in September.
Joe DeMayoHOST
And if he's your eighth starter or something like that, like you feel pretty good about where you're at depth wise.
Joe DeMayoHOST
Cause the, the reality here is to get through a major league season, you need 10, 11, 12 starters.

Sal LicataGUEST
We heard about Wenninger, Santucci.
Sal LicataGUEST
Where are we at with some of the guys that can contribute as soon as this season?
Joe DeMayoHOST
As far as arms go specifically, Jonathan Santucci, I think, has a chance to impact maybe the second half of 2027, similar to what you saw from Jonah Tong and guys like that more on the back half of the year.
Joe DeMayoHOST
Jack Wenninger, he needs a rebound year.
AndrewHOST
I wouldn't be surprised maybe if they added another innings-eater Martin Perez level to maybe because you have Zach Thornton as an option and have him be guaranteed a spot in these halves of competition, even though he did have a great rookie season and came out of nowhere.
AndrewHOST
Wouldn't be a bad idea to bring in another guy just as... to have him fight out for some spots for that fifth starter, as well as you can still have Jonah Tong of Zach Wenninger's in AAA.
AndrewHOST
You still have some guys, some prospects that can potentially fill in the depth.
AndrewHOST
And then move to the bullpen.
Evan RobertsHOST
Now you've got the youth.
Evan RobertsHOST
You've got Jonah Tong.
Evan RobertsHOST
You've got Jack Wenninger.
Evan RobertsHOST
You've got Jonathan Santucci.

speaker_8HOST
And we have bodies.
speaker_8HOST
We have Joel Minaya.
speaker_8HOST
We have – Jonah Tong, we don't know what he's going to be.
speaker_8HOST
I don't think they do have a lot of bodies
Jake PolsonHOST
Jet Williams and, I don't remember the second piece.
Billy DeVoreHOST
No, I remember Jet Williams and Jonah Tong going to Milwaukee.
Billy DeVoreHOST
Yeah.
Billy DeVoreHOST
But I'm saying going from Tampa to New York.
Anthony RiveraHOST
It stinks.
Anthony RiveraHOST
Armand is amazing saying, Brown will cost at least Zach Thorne and Jonah Tong in the package.
Anthony RiveraHOST
So, you know, hope and hope and hope.
Anthony RiveraHOST
And I'm sure the Mets will have to bring in a guy like Clay Holmes to be in the back end of that rotation because Zach Thornton seems to be a guy that's going to stick.
Anthony RiveraHOST
And definitely him, McClain, Christian Scott.
Anthony RiveraHOST
And then after what we saw from Jonah Tong towards the end of the season, which was a lot better than what we saw from him in 2025, I assume you'll have a big opportunity to be a part of this rotation at some point.
Anthony RiveraHOST
But we will see.
Anthony RiveraHOST
I just want to thank everyone for being a part of the show today and being a part of this live.
Will JarvisHOST
Yassavid.

Jonah Tong had his
