The New York Mets are not poised to promote any top pitching prospects soon due to both a lack of pressing need and mixed performances at different minor league levels. While veterans like Paul Blackburn and others provide options for the rotation, Nolan McLean stands out with impressive early performances at Triple-A but will not be rushed. Brandon Sproat's struggles at Triple-A raise concerns, while other talented prospects like Matt Allan continue to work their way up after recovering from injuries. The Mets are focusing on development rather than rushing players to the major leagues.
For various reasons, the Mets do not seem likely to debut any of their valued starting pitching arms soon. The most obvious reason: There is not a need for a rolling rotation.
Stearns said McLean has done a "tremendous job" but declined to talk major league timelines regarding the 2023 third-round pick. "I think we're going to let him perform at Triple-A."
