The New York Mets are more focused on adding offense than pitching this offseason.
"I think the one thing in our favor right now is our pitching in our organization is getting closer to being big-league ready, so that makes us say that we might have some in-house options," executive J.P. Ricciardi told MLB Trade Rumors.
"So maybe we wouldn't even be as inclined to go out and look at that market. It's kind of a work in progress to see what is available, but I think one of the securities we have is that at least we have some guys coming through the system that can get to the big leagues a little quicker. I don't know if we'd be as willing to jump on something like that right now."
The depth of pitching within the organization puts the focus on the offense.
