The New York Mets and right-hander Griffin Canning have agreed to a one-year, $4.25 million deal, pending a physical, a source confirmed to ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Wednesday night.

According to a source, the deal includes potential performance bonuses of $1 million.

Canning, 28, posted a 4.78 ERA in five seasons with the Los Angeles Angels before being traded to the Atlanta Braves in October. The Braves non-tendered him in November, making him a free agent.

The right-hander posted career highs in starts (31) and innings pitched (171⅔) in 2024. He finished the season 6-13 with a 5.19 ERA and led the American League in last place earned runs (99) for the Angels.

He posted his best season in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, posting a 3.99 ERA in 11 starts and earning Gold Glove honors.

Canning is the third starting pitcher the Mets have signed to a major league contract this offseason, joining Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes. Montas signed a two-year, $34 million contract with an opt-out after next season. Holmes, a reliever since 2018, agreed to a three-year, $38 million contract with an exit after the 2026 season.

The Mets’ other rotation options include Kodai Senga, David Peterson, Paul Blackburn, Tylor Megill and Jose Butto.

The club lost Luis Severino from last season’s rotation to the Athletics in free agency.

Left-handers Sean Manaea and Jose Quintana, two other key starters in the Mets’ promotion to the National League Championship Series, remain free agents.

The Athletic first reported Canning’s signing.
