Rick Porcello Signs With the Mets
5 years agoThe New York Mets signed free-agent right-handed starting pitcher Rick Porcello to a one-year deal worth $10 million on Thursday. The ink was barely dry on the one-year deal the Mets gave Michael Wacha before they added another starter to their rotation in Porcello. Porcello had an awful 2019 season, pitching to an unsightly 5.52 ERA, but he won the Cy Young in 2016 and the Mets are hoping he can regain some of that form. Porcello is hoping for the same, as he's betting on himself with a one-year prove-it deal. Getting out of Boston and the American League East should help his cause and make Porcello a potential draft-day steal as he slips down the board.
