Mets Sign Frankie Montas for Two Years, $34M ($17M per Year), Opt-Out After 2025
Dec 2, 2024, 04:02 AM
Frankie Montas, a 31-year-old right-handed pitcher, has agreed to a two-year, $34 million contract with the New York Mets, pending a physical examination. The deal includes an opt-out clause after 2025 and will pay Montas $17 million annually. Last season, Montas pitched 150.2 innings with a 4.84 ERA for the Cincinnati Reds and the Milwaukee Brewers. However, after his mid-season trade to the Brewers, his strikeout percentage increased to 28.7% following adjustments, showcasing significant improvement. Montas features a five-pitch mix, highlighted by a whiff-inducing splitter and an above-average fastball velocity, with his sinker grading out well. Represented by agent Scott Boras, Montas's signing marks a notable addition to the Mets' rotation, as they aim to replace multiple starting pitchers this offseason. Under the guidance of new executive David Stearns, the Mets are betting they can unlock Montas's potential and rediscover the performance levels he exhibited during his time with the Oakland Athletics.
