The Mets have reached a one-year agreement with right-handed pitcher Smith, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery. Although the financial details remain undisclosed, the deal includes a club option for 2026. Smith, 31, has been instrumental in the Mets' late-game situations over the past four years, achieving a 3.35 ERA with substantial strikeout numbers. Despite expectations that he may miss most of the 2025 season, the Mets are demonstrating their confidence in his abilities by retaining him on their roster for the near future.
Smith has worked plenty of high-leverage spots, recording 33 holds and five saves in 156 plate appearances while being credited with only four blown saves during that time.
The financials haven't been reported yet, but the agreement marks Smith’s return to the Mets, where he has been a key player in late-inning situations.
Smith, 31, has pitched parts of six big league seasons with the Mets and is expected to miss most or all of the 2025 season due to surgery.
This one-year deal with a club option for 2026 indicates the Mets' commitment to maintain their pitching depth, despite Smith's injury recovery.
