According to Andy Martino of SNY, the Mets have agreed to a five-year, $75 million contract with right-hander Kodai Senga.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic adds that the deal has a no-trade clause and opt-out clauses. The deal, which is still pending a physical, looks like a tremendous value on the Mets side -- especially given the other contracts that we have seen free agent starting pitchers land over the past few weeks. It matches exactly what MLBTradeRumors had projected what Senga would land though -- five years and $75 million. Kudos. The 29-year-old hurler compiled a stellar 1.94 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 156/49 K/BB ratio across 144 innings last year for the Softbank Hawks of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball.
