With questions about Gilbert's future in Seattle coming up, it makes sense that the Mets are being linked to him. He would be a very good addition to the front half of the Mets' starting rotation if acquired. This is because he is a proven star pitcher who has been impactful for several seasons now.
Gilbert was once again very good for the Mariners this season. In 32 games for Seattle, he had a 12-11 record, a 3.73 ERA, and 205 strikeouts. He has also had an ERA under 4.00 in each of his last five MLB seasons. With this, he would provide the Mets with some much-needed stability if they successfully acquired him from the Mariners.
It will be interesting to see if the Mets can strike a deal for Gilbert this offseason. The fit looks very good on paper, as New York desperately needs a boost right now.
