Report: Mets' Senga generating trade interest from multiple clubs
Kodai Senga is a popular name on the trade market in the early stages of the offseason.
The New York Mets right-hander is receiving interest from multiple teams, sources told Will Sammon of The Athletic.
Some of the clubs eyeing Senga reportedly consider the hurler as a buy-low candidate after he was demoted to the minors in September following a string of poor outings. He posted a 6.56 ERA in his last eight starts of 2025 after coming back from a hamstring strain sustained in June.
The Mets have discussed the 2023 All-Star and other starting pitchers with teams, but it's unclear how motivated New York's front office is to move the 32-year-old, sources told Sammon.
Senga, Nolan McLean, Clay Holmes, Sean Manaea, David Peterson, Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong, and Christian Scott are all 2026 rotation options for the Mets.
Senga, who can block a move to 10 different clubs due to a limited no-trade clause, is still owed a combined $28 million over the next two seasons with a $15-million club option for 2028.
The 2023 NL Rookie of the Year runner-up owns a 3.00 ERA with 1.25 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 over 285 innings (52 starts) across three seasons with the Mets since coming over from Japan.
