The New York Mets have secured right-hander Griffin Canning on a one-year contract worth $4.25 million, pending a physical examination. The deal includes $1 million in potential performance bonuses.
Canning, 28, previously played five seasons with the Los Angeles Angels before being traded to the Atlanta Braves, who later non-tendered him. He had a challenging season in 2024, finishing with a 5.19 ERA and leading the American League in earned runs allowed.
This signing marks the Mets' third addition of a starting pitcher this offseason, following Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes.
