Mets Sign Luis Severino in Low-Risk, High-Reward Move

Despite past injuries, Severino could provide a significant boost to the Mets' rotation if he returns to his 2017-18 form.

Luis Severino, a former New York Yankees pitcher, has signed a one-year deal worth $13 million with the New York Mets, in a move seen as a low-risk, high-reward investment.
Severino's performance has been hampered by injuries over the past five seasons, but if he can return to his 2017-18 form, he could provide a significant boost to the Mets' rotation.
The Mets are also reportedly in the market for a high-impact starter, with Jordan Montgomery and Yoshinobu Yamamoto named as potential targets.
Despite some big moves not working out for the Mets in the past, owner Steve Cohen continues to invest in the team, with the signing of Severino seen as a calculated risk with potential for high reward.
The Mets also signed veteran infielder Joey Wendle to a one-year deal, providing additional depth and experience to the team's bench.
