Part 5/8:
Contrasting with Eovaldi and Buehler, the Mets' interest in Jack Flaherty raises some skepticism. Flaherty's performance has been inconsistent, notably during key stages of past seasons. While his recent statistics and strikeout rates may impress at first glance, concerns linger around his fastball's effectiveness and the impact of recent injuries. If signed, Flaherty may serve as a lower-tier addition to the rotation. However, a cautious approach seems warranted as the Mets assess Flaherty’s long-term viability in the lineup.
