After a year in which Sean Manaea and Luis Severino were added for relatively low prices and enjoyed bounce-back seasons, it will be Frankie Montas who attempts to revive his career in Queens.
The Mets signed the 31-year-old to a two-year deal worth $17 million per season with an opt-out after the first year, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported Sunday.Montas, who at his best is a strikeout artist who finished sixth in AL Cy Young voting in 2021, had a combined 4.84 ERA over 30 starts with the Reds and Brewers this past season.
Montas becomes part of a still-unwhole Mets rotation that right now is led by Kodai Senga and includes David Peterson, with Tylor Megill, Jose Butto and Paul Blackburn depth options. Manaea and Severino, who were coming off similarly disappointing 2023 seasons before joining the Mets last winter and then helped carry the club to the NLCS, are free agents.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Frankie Montas throws during the first inning in game two of the Wildcard round for the 2024 MLB Playoffs at American Family Field.“I think the way we built our rotation last offseason was successful,” Stearns said at the GM Meetings. “I think we are seeking to build another successful rotation however it occurs and you can do that in a variety of different ways. I don’t feel beholden to do it in any particular way.
