From MLB.com (sorry for the text layout...it won't let me eliminate the run on paragraphs)

What will Mets' rotation look like in 2020?
Oct. 1: The Mets have four-fifths of their 2019 starting rotation under control at least through next season, with only soon-to-be free agent Zack Wheeler as the exception.
The team fielded offers for Wheeler and Noah Syndergaard (controllable through 2021) leading up to the July 31 Trade Deadline, but ultimately held onto both in addition to trading for Marcus Stroman (controllable through 2020).
The expectation is that Wheeler won't be back, according to SNY's Andy Martino. Sources told Martino that contract extension talks between the Mets and Wheeler's agent didn't go anywhere in July. Martino expects the Mets to extend the qualifying offer to Wheeler and predicts the 29-year-old will reject it and sign elsewhere, with Draft compensation coming back to New York.
The Mets' current position, according to Martino, is that Syndergaard will not be the subject of trade talks this offseason, setting up the 2020 rotation to include Jacob deGrom, Syndergaard, Stroman, Steven Matz and whichever fifth starter the club acquires.
