Mets Roster Central: Generation MST3K Assembling

While we just saw Christian Scott last week, an unfortunate Injured List assignment should provide a little bit more of an open-ended opportunity for him to show his mettle and quality.  If nothing else happens this season, establishing Scott and Jonah Tong alongside Nolan McLean in the Mets rotation would have to be counted as a win, potentially establishing a foundational stone to build on.

They could, indeed, be MST3K — a term originated by our friend Greg Prince at the always-engaging Faith and Fear in Flushing to describe a future built on McLean, Brandon Sproat, and Tong.  Brandon Sproat has been dealt to Milwaukee, but hope — along with promising pitchers whose name starts with S — has not

As noted above, two or three turns by Christian Scott gives him more of an open door than his previous appearance.  Any anticipation, of course, is tempered by the reality that he missed all of 2025, and establishing himself as a big leaguer after a year in the ether at the top of the development chain is a tough ask.

But hey, Roger McDowell pulled it off!  Maybe he can pull a McDowell!

Seeing as Senga's turn won't be coming around for a few days, one might have expected the Mets to add another reliever for a couple of games, being something close to a rule that if a big league team can add a reliever, they will, but a few days for Scott to get acclimated, —instead of having him step off a plane and onto a mound again — is something.

Joey Gerber, whose head does not sit centered upon his neck in his thumbnail photo, is close to being ready.
