He currently sports a 6-5 record with a 2.67 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 101.0 innings over 17 starts.<\/p>\n<p id=\"25BSCZEQSNFY7O6AH2QKERNTNE\">Lugo remains under contract through 2026. It will also be a question if whether the Royals (47-50) would be willing to sell.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OJIZVBJQUNCV3C2RME7QLIEEEM\">Financially, some league executives have questions whether Mets general manager David Stearns would be aggressive taking in Lugo\u2019s contract, which is $15 million through the end of his current deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could an extra arm be just what the Mets need?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":80799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
