## Mets Rotation Performance
The Mets' rotation ranked 23rd in ERA (4.47), 22nd in innings (791), 15th in FIP (4.18) and tied for 18th in WAR (10.4) in 2026.
## Skubal Signing Question
The Mets need a major free agent to improve their rotation but have avoided nine-figure commitments to starting pitchers.
## Senga and Manaea Status
Senga and Manaea are both entering final years of contracts with inconsistent performances and injury concerns.
## McLean's Future Potential
McLean showed promise in 2026 with a 3.16 ERA but needs another gear to be elite.
## Homegrown Starters' Reliability
Three homegrown starters combined for 291 innings but are too early to count as sure things for 2027.
## Key takeaway

The Mets face four key rotation questions ahead of 2027 as their 2026 starting pitchers underperformed.
