Mets reach deals with David Peterson and five others

Arbitration will not happen for the Mets in 2025.

The Mets agreed to one-year deals Thursday with each of the arbitration-eligible players: right-handers Paul Blackburn and Tyler Megill, left-hander David Peterson, outfielders Jose Siri and Tyron Taylor, and catcher Lewis Torrence.

Megill settled the case for $1.975 million, officials said.

According to FanSided, Siri has agreed to terms of $2.4 million.

The salaries of the other four were not immediately known, but none would require a gruesome arbitration case.

Last year, the Mets went to arbitration with relief pitcher Phil Bickford, who won the case but was released in March.



This winter, the Mets had already settled with right-hander Sean Reid-Foley on an $800,000 deal to avoid arbitration.

Blackburn and Megill will represent the depth of a rotation that includes Peterson after a breakout 2024 season.

Siri, an electric outfielder who played in 130 games with the Rays last season and posted a .620 OPS, had a strong first season with Queen's and will compete for center field time with Taylor, who can play all three outfield spots. It will be.

Torrence was traded from the Yankees in late May and was selected as a backup to Francisco Alvarez, who hit 13 out of 28 potential steals, although he didn't have many hits.
