Luis Severino leaves Mets for stunning $67 million A’s contract in MLB free agency
NY Post
A key component from the Mets’ rotation last season is headed west to uncharted territory.
Luis Severino reached agreement Thursday with the A’s on a three-year contract worth $67 million, industry sources confirmed, as the organization prepares to begin play in Sacramento, Calif., for at least a three-season hitch before settling in Las Vegas.
Severino’s deal includes an opt-out after the second season. The guaranteed payout is the largest in A’s franchise history.
Severino, 30, declined a qualifying offer from the Mets worth $21.05 million, meaning the team will receive draft pick compensation for his departure. The compensatory pick will be after the fourth round.
A workhorse in the Mets’ rotation last season, Severino pitched to a 3.91 ERA over 182 innings in 31 starts.
The right-hander arrived on a one-year deal worth $13 million as he looked to resurrect a career that had been plagued by injuries with the Yankees.
