Mets Secure Frankie Montas with $34M Deal

The New York Mets have signed right-hander Frankie Montas to a two-year, $34 million contract, marking their first significant move in the free agency market to bolster their starting rotation. Montas, who previously played for the Yankees, had a challenging stint due to injuries but showed promise in 2021 with the Oakland Athletics. While Montas is not expected to be the Mets' ace, the team is likely to pursue additional top-tier pitchers this offseason.
