The New York Mets signed right-hander Rick Porcello to a one-year, $10 million deal. The former American League Cy Young Award winner had multiyear offers, but preferred to sign a one-year contract

Porcello, who turns 31 later this month, was 14-12 with a 5.52 ERA and 143 strikeouts in 32 starts with the Boston Red Sox last season. He won the Cy Young with Boston in 2016 with a 22-4 record, 3.15 ERA and 189 strikeouts, walking just 32 batters in 33 starts. He also helped the Red Sox win a World Series championship in 2018.
