On Sunday, the Mets signed former Yankees starter Frankie Montas to a two-year, $34 million contract. Like Manaea’s deal last season, the contract, which will pay him $17 million each season, includes a player opt-out for the second year of the agreement.

The Mets have three positions in the starting rotation to fill this offseason and while Montas is a good start, there's still more work to be done.

The New York Mets have added Frankie Montas to their depleted rotation, agreeing to a $34 million, two-year contract with the veteran right-hander. A person familiar with the negotiations confirmed the deal to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.
