Mets Finalize $13 Million One-Year Contract with Luis Severino

Severino, Moving from Yankees, Can Earn Additional $2 Million in Performance Bonuses

Luis Severino, a two-time All-Star, has finalized a $13 million one-year contract with the New York Mets, moving from the New York Yankees.
Severino can earn an additional $2 million in performance bonuses for starts: $500,000 for 27 and $750,000 apiece for 29 and 31.
Earlier in the week, the Mets agreed to one-year contracts with Joey Wendle and Austin Adams.
Severino's career has been marked by injuries, with a strained latissimus dorsi muscle in 2019 and Tommy John surgery in 2020.
The Mets are seeking to bolster their pitching this offseason, with NL Rookie of the Year runner-up Kodai Senga and veteran left-hander José Quintana the only holdovers assured spots in a projected 2024 rotation.
