Mets predicted to sign All-Star who weirdly doesn’t have a job right now

The New York Mets lineup looks to be one of the best in baseball to start the year, but the rotation could still use some help. Among the options the Mets could pursue, Lucas Giolito should be at the top of that list.

Giolito has the stuff to come in and be an above-average arm in New York, potentially even giving them playoff innings when needed. 

Among the remaining free agents around the league, he's the most interesting by far to me. 

FanSided’s Austin Owens believes he'll end up with the Mets eventually, adding that while a team like the Atlanta Braves could be an option, he'll end up with the Mets.

“Instead, an NL East division foe of the Braves could be a realistic landing spot for Giolito. The New York Mets feel like a team that could use a veteran presence in the middle of their rotation. The Mets have a strong offense led by slugger Juan Soto and could be looking for an arm to simply keep them in games. Being in a bigger market, it is also more likely the Mets can afford to overpay for Giolito if needed, especially after the departure of Pete Alonso. Giolito is a high-risk, high-reward free agent and the Mets feel like the squad to roll the dice on him.”

Giolito hasn’t been the same arm that he once was, but the upside is still there. For a team like the Mets, simply giving them some innings every five days would go a long way.
