Mets evaluate Kodai Senga's future role after bullpen success

The New York Mets are reconsidering Kodai Senga's role for the upcoming season. After a successful stint as a closer, going 8-for-9 in save opportunities and posting a 1.74 ERA in August, Senga's position is uncertain following Devin Williams' return from the injured list. Manager Andy Green acknowledged Senga's contributions but noted that determining whether he will return to starting or remain in the bullpen is complex. Senga, who has struggled as a starter this year with a 9.66 ERA, previously excelled as a starter with a 3.00 ERA over three seasons. He expressed a preference for starting, and the Mets will consider his wishes in their decision-making process as they navigate their offseason roster plans.
