In a significant move for the upcoming MLB season, the New York Mets have signed free agent right-handed pitcher Griffin Canning to a one-year contract. Sources confirmed the deal, which aims to bolster the Mets’ pitching rotation. Canning, 28, previously spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Angels, where he demonstrated potential with a career ERA of 4.72 over 65 appearances, including 62 starts. The deal marks a fresh start for Canning, who battled injuries in 2022 and missed the entire 2023 season due to a back issue. Canning expressed enthusiasm about joining the Mets, stating, ‘I’m looking forward to a new chapter in my career and helping the Mets compete for a championship.’ The Mets are hoping that with proper health, Canning can provide stability and depth to their pitching lineup as they look to improve from last season’s performance.
