New York Mets: 5 options to help replace Noah Syndergaard in the rotation

The New York Mets have lost Noah Syndergaard for quite a while in their rotation. Here are five options to help replace him

The New York Mets have certainly put the fun is dysfunctional over the past couple of weeks. The Matt Harvey suspension. Noah Syndergaard‘s refusal to get an MRI. All of the injuries to key hitters like Yoenis Cespedes and Lucas Duda. The tweet gone wild. Even the New York Knicks and the New York Jets think it’s crazy.

Even after all of this, they aren’t out of it thanks to Jay Bruce, Michael Conforto and an offense that had been pretty hot until yesterday.

The Mets are going to need another starter or maybe even two. Steven Matz and Seth Lugo aren’t walking through that door anytime soon. Zack Wheeler is going to be on an innings limit of sorts coming back from Tommy John surgery.

All the promise of the pitching depth the Mets had has been totally compromised. Their options haven’t exactly been great so far. Sean Gilmartin and Rafael Montero have not been good. Adam Wilk was rocked by the Marlins (though in fairness, he arrived from Albuquerque to the ballpark at 8:45 AM Sunday).

The Mets claimed Tommy Milone on waivers yesterday, so he’ll be given a chance, but let’s face it, the Brewers wouldn’t have let him go for nothing if they thought he could contribute.

So where do the Mets go from here? Where can they look to for some pitching help? Here are five options.
