The New York Mets have secured right-hander Frankie Montas on a two-year, $34 million contract, marking their first free agent signing of the offseason. This move aims to bolster a rotation that has seen significant turnover with the departure of several key pitchers.
Montas, who has shown potential as a frontline starter, will join existing Mets pitchers Kodai Senga and David Peterson. Despite a challenging 2023 season due to injury, Montas brings a diverse pitching arsenal to the team.
With a significant reduction in payroll, the Mets are also eyeing superstar outfielder Juan Soto, while reflecting on a successful playoff run that exceeded expectations.
