MLB:
Which frontline arms from the ‘could-have-been-signed’ list (Fried, Snell, Burnes, Flaherty) would have most changed the Mets’ season, and why?
Qwiket AI:
Burnes would have altered the rotation’s ceiling by addressing innings and stability; Fried would have added contact-avoidance and playoff-caliber reliability; Snell’s malleable workload could have addressed late-season depth; Flaherty’s consistency would have provided a reliable anchor at the front. Each would shift the balance, but Burnes’ combination of depth and elite strike-you-down ability makes him the standout hypothetical upgrade.
