11/18/24 Mets Sign RHP Justin Hagenman to a split contract

 

The New York Mets announced today via X/Twitter that they have signed RHP Justin Hagenman. 

Justin, who turned 28 this past October, was dealt to the Red Sox from the Dodgers for Kike Hernandez in July 2023.  Last year in Worcester he appeared in 28 games, 15 starts, 91.2 innings, 4 wins, 6 losses, 4.91 ERA with a 1.320 WHIP, 98 Ks.  He throws in the low 90's with a slider, cutter, changeup and sinker.

According to Will Sammon of the Athletic on X: "the deal with the Mets is a split contract that'll pay him $850,000/$225,000".  He offers another depth arm.  Since he has never pitched in the majors, he most likely still has all of his minor league options.  

The Mets 40-Man roster now stands at 34.
