The New York Mets signed RHP Frankie Montas to a two-year $34 million contract on Sunday night.

Montas had a 4.84 ERA last year in 30 starts with the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers.

He previously pitched for the Yankees after he was traded there in 2022 from the Oakland Athletics, but struggled with a 6.35 ERA down the stretch and dealt with a right shoulder injury in the 2023 season.

The Mets are hoping that Montas can regain his 2021 form where had a terrific season for the Athletics with a 13-9 record, 3.37 ERA, and 207 strikeouts and finished sixth in the American League Cy Young vote.

He will hopefully help solidify the Met rotation along with RHP Kodai Senga and LHP David Peterson.
