The New York Mets have signed Griffin Canning, a previously underperforming pitcher, as injuries have opened up a roster space. Canning, who had a tough stint with the Angels and was non-tendered by the Braves, made a notable impression during spring training. His former college coach, John Savage, praised Canning's competitiveness and skill. Now 28, Canning aims to prove himself in a new environment as he prepares for his Mets debut against the Houston Astros, bringing hope to his career revival.
Canning arrived to the Mets following a trade from the Angels to the Braves, in exchange for Jorge Soler, only to be non-tendered by Atlanta before hitting arbitration.
He's like a greyhound: really thin and twitchy. The ball came out of his hand different and we loved his makeup and competitiveness.
