Part 2/7:
In the midst of the Soto buzz, the Mets made a headline-grabbing acquisition by officially signing pitcher Frankie Montas. The former New York Yankee’s signing was a focal point in the Mets’ strategy to bolster their pitching staff. Montas, known for his past success and a peak velocity in the 70th percentile, is viewed as a critical asset for the Mets in 2025 and beyond.
In a media presser following his signing, Montas expressed excitement about joining the Mets and emphasized the organization’s talent and resources. His bond with fellow pitcher Sean Manaea, a potential target for the Mets, may play a significant role in convincing his former teammate to join him in Flushing, thus enhancing the Mets' rotation.
