3 days agoThe Athletic's Will Sammon and Tim Britton think that New York Mets right-hander Griffin Canning is probably ahead of someone like Tylor Megill for the sixth starter role to open the 2025 regular season because he doesn't have minor-league options left like Megill does. Canning, who has a 4.78 career ERA, said he expects to approach new assistant pitching coach Desi Druschel about tinkering with a two-seam fastball to help him improve. He all but ditched the pitch in 2024 and threw it 1% of the time. In general, the Mets want the 28-year-old to throw fewer fastballs, though, which means he'll likely lean more into his slider and changeup while also working to improve his curveball. If Canning does win the No. 6 spot, he could still be coming out of the bullpen more often than not in a piggyback role to help ease the early season burden on Clay Holmes and Kodai Senga, limiting his already low fantasy ceiling.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
