Free agent right-handed starting pitcher Luis Severino has agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract with the New York Mets, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, officially ending his eight-season tenure with the New York Yankees.
Passan reported Severino can earn another $2 million in bonuses.
In 19 games (18 starts) in 2023, the 29-year-old went 4-8 with a 6.65 ERA and 1.65 WHIP. He struck out 79 batters over 89.1 innings.
It was a disastrous, injury-marred season for Severino, whose year ended on Sept. 8 after being diagnosed with a high-grade strain in his left oblique.
