It is free agency season. It's not unusual for teams to weigh players who are up for sale.
This time, a claim was made that the New York Mets should target Ryu Hyun-jin. If things go as the media claims, expectations are spreading that Asia's one-two punch may unite in the New York Mets.
If that happens, becoming the most popular club in Korea and Japan is not a dream. If Senga, Yamamoto, and Ryu Hyun-jin are all there, the club is bound to be the most popular team among Asian fans.
American media outlet Sny TV published an article titled '5 players and pitchers the New York Mets should target in the free agent market.' The media said, “The New York Mets’ biggest target this free agency season is Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto. “There will be fierce competition to sign the 25-year-old, who could become one of the best pitchers in baseball once he reaches the major leagues, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mets are first in line to recruit him.”

But with or without Yamamoto, the Mets will need a lot more players as they only have two starting pitchers (Kodai Senga and Jose Quintana) locked in the rotation through 2024. There must be at least two more players.
The media said, “In addition to Yamamoto, the most notable players in the free agent market are Aaron Nola and Blake Snell. In particular, Snell is expected to win the National League Cy Young Award. “But I don’t think he should go after either pitcher because the bids for both could be read more as long as six or seven years.”
They claim that Nola has been mediocre in two of the last three seasons, Snell has a terrible injury history, and has gone over 130 innings in only two of eight seasons.
At the same time, he selected Korea's Ryu Hyun-jin as a starting pitcher that the New York Mets could potentially target. The media said about Ryu Hyun-jin, “Ryu Hyun-jin, who is about to enter his 37-year-old season, is a pitcher who ranked in the top three in the National League Cy Young Award voting in 2019 and 2020, but he is still performing outstandingly.”
At the same time, “Hyun-Jin Ryu returned from Tommy John surgery last August and pitched 52.0 innings in 11 starts, recording an ERA of 3.46 and an on-base percentage allowed per inning of 1.28. “In 11 starts, Ryu Hyun-jin allowed two or fewer runs eight times,” he said, praising his record this season.
Additionally, “Ryu Hyun-jin skillfully uses five pitches and relies on excellent ball control. However, he added, “He hasn’t shown any overwhelming form recently.”
Meanwhile, other recruitment candidates besides Ryu Hyun-jin, as claimed by the media, included LUIS SEVERINO, ERIC LAUER, KENTA MAEDA, and Jack Flaherty.
