The Mets signed Japanese right-hander Kodai Senga to a five-year, $75 million contract yesterday. The deal includes a full no-trade clause and an opt-out after the third year. Senga was a three-time All-Star and five-time Japan Series champion in the Nippon Professional Baseball League. He had expressed a desire to play for a team in a big market that is ready to win and the Mets fit that bill.
Meanwhile, the Brandon Nimmo signing was made official yesterday. His contract includes a no-trade clause.
