Right-hander Kodai Senga and the New York Mets are in agreement on a five-year, $75 million contract, sources familiar with the agreement told ESPN's Jeff Passan late Saturday night, confirming reports.
There were a few last-minute questions about the deal being finalized this weekend, but they were worked out and Senga is a Met pending a physical.
Senga, 29, has pitched for 11 seasons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league, where he is 104-51 with a 2.42 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in 275 career games.
He joins a new-look rotation that has remade itself after the free-agent losses of Jacob deGrom to the Texas Rangers and Taijuan Walker to the Philadelphia Phillies.
