While some of you (and me) were sleeping on Saturday night, the Mets continued their spending spree. This time, it was a five-year, $75 million agreement with Japanese hurler Kodai Senga.
Since Jacob deGrom bolted for the Texas Rangers, New York has shelled out nearly $360 million in contracts. Here’s how it’s been allocated so far (with Edwin Diaz’s $102 million deal added in for good measure):
Mets signings this offseason:
Brandon Nimmo 8-yr/$162M
Edwin Díaz 5-yr/$102M
David Robertson 1-yr/$10M
José Quintana 2-yr/$26M
Justin Verlander 2-yr/$86.6M
Kodai Senga 5 yr, $75MThis also doesn’t include acquiring southpaw Brooks Raley via trade for New York’s bullpen.
