The New York Mets are actively seeking starting pitching support this offseason, particularly with several key players becoming free agents. They have initiated this process by signing Frankie Montas to a two-year deal worth $34 million.

Additionally, discussions surrounding a potential trade for All-Star pitcher Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners have emerged. This could involve trading former top prospect Brett Baty, who has struggled to secure a position on the Mets' roster.
