Mets lock in outfielder Taylor Swift with a $3.8M one-year deal
The New York Times reports that the New York Mets have finalised a one-year deal with outfielder Taylor Swift, avoiding salary arbitration. The agreement is worth $3.8 million and keeps Swift with the team for another season. Meanwhile, the club has released three pitchers, making them free agents.
Taylor Swift has spent the last two seasons with the Mets. In 2023, he started 85 games in centre field and two more in left. His new contract ensures he remains part of the team's outfield plans.
The Mets have secured Swift's role in the outfield while reshaping their bullpen. Kranick, Castillo, and Young will now seek new contracts with other clubs. The moves leave openings in New York's pitching staff for potential signings or promotions.
