Mets Sign Griffin Canning to One-Year Deal for Rotation Depth

The 28-year-old pitcher joins New York on a $4.25 million contract with potential bonuses, pending a physical.

Griffin Canning, formerly of the Angels and Braves, signed a one-year, $4.25 million deal with the Mets that includes $1 million in performance bonuses.
The deal is pending a physical and has not yet been officially announced by the Mets organization.
Canning, 28, pitched a career-high 171 2/3 innings in 2024 but struggled with a 5.19 ERA and led the American League in earned runs allowed (99).
He provides rotation depth for a Mets team dealing with injuries and free-agent departures, joining recent additions Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes.
Canning, known for his durability in recent seasons, missed all of 2022 due to a back injury but has since shown the ability to handle a full workload.
