Frankie Montas has officially joined the New York Mets on a two-year, $34 million contract after passing his physical. Mets president David Stearns expressed excitement about adding Montas to their rotation, highlighting his potential to stabilize the pitching staff.
Despite a challenging stint with the New York Yankees, Montas showed improvement in 2024 after shoulder surgery, achieving a 4.84 ERA over 152 2/3 innings with the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers.
This signing mirrors the Mets' previous acquisition of Sean Manaea, who thrived in his first season with the team. Montas and Manaea share a history from their time in Oakland, and the Mets are focused on building a strong clubhouse culture.
As the offseason progresses, the Mets are actively seeking to enhance their pitching lineup, with other potential signings on the horizon, including free agents like Manaea and Luis Severino.
