Griffin Canning has signed a one-year contract worth $4.25 million with the New York Mets, providing depth to their revamped pitching rotation. The 28-year-old right-hander can earn additional bonuses based on performance metrics.

After a challenging 2024 season with the Los Angeles Angels, where he recorded a 5.19 ERA, Canning was traded to the Atlanta Braves but was subsequently released. He joins a Mets team looking to build on their recent success in the National League Championship Series.
