Kodai Senga's Role in Limbo After Successful Transition to Closer

Mets right-hander Kodai Senga went 8-for-9 on save opportunities after transitioning to the bullpen mid-season following a disastrous 0-7 start with a 9.66 ERA as a starter. With Devin Williams reinstated from the IL, manager Andy Green stated Senga's 2027 role remains undecided. Senga expressed a strong preference to return to the starting rotation, a desire the Mets will consider alongside offseason roster developments and free agency needs.
