Luis Severino stayed healthy, but do the Mets trust what they saw last season enough to extend the relationship for potentially the next four or five years?
The right-hander on Tuesday rejected the club’s qualifying offer worth $21.05 million for next season, crystalizing that any return to Queens for Severino will come on a multiyear deal.
Severino, who arrived on a one-year contract worth $13 million, pitched to a 3.91 ERA in 31 starts for the Mets in which he recorded 161 strikeouts in 182 innings. It marked the first time since 2018 with the Yankees that Severino was healthy enough to start at least 30 games. The Mets’ returning starting pitchers for next season include Kodai Senga, David Peterson and Tylor Megill. Another possibility, Paul Blackburn, is rehabbing after undergoing a procedure to repair a cerebrospinal fluid leak — he could miss the start of spring training — and the Mets have to decide whether to tender him a contract.
