The New York Mets agreed to a two-year minor-league deal with right-hander Adbert Alzolay, sources told The Athletic's Will Sammon.
Alzolay was non-tendered by the Chicago Cubs in November after appearing in 18 games during a 2024 campaign that ended for him last August when he underwent Tommy John surgery.
The 29-year-old saved 22 games for the Cubs during the best campaign of his career in 2023. He also authored a 2.67 ERA and 9.4 K/9 that same season.
Alzolay owns a career 4.04 ERA and 4.30 FIP with 269 strikeouts in 254 innings pitched.
New York continues to stockpile pitching this offseason. It has acquired Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas, A.J. Minter, Griffin Canning, Austin Warren, Anthony Gose, Luis F. Ortiz, Brandon Waddell, Grant Hartwig, Génesis Cabrera, Hobie Harris, Justin Hagenman, Rico Garcia, and Dylan Covey this winter.
