The New York Mets have added Frankie Montas to their depleted rotation, agreeing to a $34 million, two-year contract with the veteran right-hander.
A person familiar with the negotiations confirmed the deal to the AP on Sunday night on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.
The 31-year-old Montas is slated to make $17 million in each year of the contract. He can opt out after the 2025 season.Montas went 7-11 with a 4.84 ERA and 148 strikeouts over 150 2/3 innings in 30 starts for the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers this year. He was 3-3 with a 4.55 ERA in 11 starts for the Brewers, who acquired him just before the trade deadline.Even with the addition of Montas, New York has more work to do with its rotation.
He had his best season with the A's in 2021, going 13-9 with a 3.37 ERA and 207 strikeouts in 187 innings. Montas' agreement with the Mets is part of a brisk start to the offseason for agent Scott Boras. Blake Snell and Yusei Kikuchi have agreed to new deals, and Nick Martinez, another Boras client, accepted a qualifying offer from Cincinnati.
