Left-hander David Peterson and the Mets agreed to a one-year, $8.1 million deal to avoid arbitration, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Thursday. The club has not confirmed the deal.
Peterson nearly doubled his salary by agreeing to a one-year, $8.1 million contract. The 30-year-old hurler made $4.625 million while producing a 4.22 ERA over 30 starts for New York last year. He has a 4.12 ERA through 131 career appearances (115 starts). He produced a career-best 2.90 ERA over 21 starts (121 innings) in 2024.
