Mets Pitcher Kodai Senga Attracting 'Buy-Low' Trade Interest Amid Offseason Buzz

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga is reportedly attracting "buy-low" trade interest from other teams this offseason, though it's unclear if the Mets are open to a move. Senga's contract no longer includes a full no-trade clause, allowing him to block deals to only 10 clubs. His 2025 season was a mixed bag, showing ace potential through June before a hamstring injury and mechanical issues led to him losing a big-league roster spot by September. Despite the challenges, he finished with a solid 3.02 ERA and 109 strikeouts across 22 outings (113.1 innings). The 32-year-old is owed $28 million over the next two seasons with a 2028 club option, making his contract appealing. Since his 2023 MLB debut, Senga holds a career 3.00 ERA with 209 strikeouts over 52 starts, having placed top-10 in NL Cy Young voting as a Rookie of the Year runner-up.
