Right-handed starting pitcher Rick Porcello and the New York Mets are in agreement with a one-year contract, according to Ken Rosenthal. Meanwhile, Jon Heyman is reporting that the deal comes with a $10 million guarantee.
Just yesterday, the Mets signed fellow right-hander Michael Wacha to a pact with a $3 million guarantee. That makes two days in a row in which General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen has secured buy-low pitching targets to one-year deals.
After the news, the Mets have six capable starting pitchers in the depth chart.
