Griffin Canning impressed during his pitching stint at Yankee Stadium, demonstrating solid performance for the Mets. Once categorized as a buy-low candidate, Canning, previously considered a top prospect with the Angels, signed a one-year deal with the Mets for $4.25 million. The Yankees had shown interest in Canning, particularly if a deal for Juan Soto had not materialized. With a current ERA of 2.47, Canning has performed admirably, stepping up significantly while overcoming injuries within the Mets' rotation.
But that blast and another from DJ LeMahieu were the only runs the Yankees scored off their winter interest, whose ERA is a sparkling 2.47 after nine starts (of which his team has won eight).
The Mets officially signed the righty on Dec. 19 to a one-year, $4.25 million pact that reflected he was seen more as depth than a rotation certainty.
