While adding Williams is a great move, the Mets&#8217; biggest concern may be the starting rotation. The team wants to be a contender, but does not have an ace.

He is a two-time All-Star and just had a career year. He is slated to play on an $8 million club option next season, but he may be out of the Brewers&#8217; budget beyond that. The Brewers traded Josh Hader, Williams and Corbin Burnes before they hit free agency, knowing they would not pay them on the open market.
