Mets, Danny Young Agree To Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | January 12, 2024 at 11:58am CDT

The Mets have agreed to a minor league deal with left-handed reliever Danny Young, MLBTR has learned. He’ll be in big league camp this spring and would earn an $825K salary in the majors. Young is repped by Dynamic Sports Group.

The 29-year-old Young has seen big league time with the Mariners and Braves over the past two years, logging a combined 14 2/3 innings with a 2.45 ERA, a 25.4% strikeout rate, a 6% walk rate and a healthy 48.8% ground-ball rate. He was particularly sharp with Atlanta, yielding just one run in 11 innings as a Brave and posting a 12-to-2 K/BB ratio. However, Young missed the bulk of the 2023 season due to hip injury. He pitched just 15 2/3 Triple-A frames and 8 1/3 MLB innings before landing on the injured list and ultimately undergoing surgery.

Young has a 4.70 ERA in parts of four Triple-A seasons. He’s fanned 28% of his opponents at the top minor league level against an 11% walk rate, though his command has been better in his limited MLB looks. He has a minor league option remaining as well, so if he makes the Mets’ roster out of spring training or at any point during the 2024 season, he could be optioned freely for the remainder of the season.

The Mets are known to be on the lookout for bullpen help and have specifically been focused on adding some left-handed depth. New York reportedly had interest in former Brewers and Rockies southpaw Brent Suter, but Suter agreed to a one-year pact with his hometown Reds yesterday.

    Arguably the most underrated city in all of sports.

      but it could be the least depending on your point of view… As for Young, he’ll get his chance to make the pen.

      I guess you got to edit your sentence because all I originally saw was “Arguably the most”

      How is a city that has the yankees, who have won 27 world series and have widely been regarded as the most recognizable team in MLB possibly all of north american sports, underrated?

      I seriously hope that you are joking with this post…

    Metropolitans are also looking to sign Matt Carpenter to backup Pete at 1B/DH but can also be a full time option for the Mets at Third Base (and bat 5th in the order) where they need help. Carp can corral the young kids coming through the Metropolitan minors ranks and system as a “Big Brother” of sorts).

    Never heard of him but more lefties never hurt. I like Stearns approach to bullpen building this year, if you aren’t competing and have to pay CBT regardless, spending on expensive relievers seems like a bad allocation of funds. Just get like 30 guys you like in camp for cheap and hopefully 10 or so are usable and maybe a couple take a step up and then you have a good pen piece for the future.

      D2323. What about the idea of Matt Carpenter being signed by the Metropolitans to take over full time Third Base duties so that Brett Baty can do more shadowing under a savvy Veteran such as Carp?

        Might as well. It’s going to be a 100 loss, last place finish. Neither can hit but at least Crapenter can field.

    This Stearns guy collects from the scrap heap more than Sandy n Billy Beane.

      It feels like the Wilpons never left. The winning pct is no better and after this year will be a bit worse. I’d be fine having Fred and Sandy back at this point.

      If you think paying hicks that absurd amount of money is okay and not a huge overpay then you need more baseball knowledge

        Also they’re using Hicks as a starter.

    Stearns seems to usually get legitimate talent anyway. Gone are the days of getting Miguel Castro and Yensy Diaz or something

    These guys may have issues, but they usually have a base level of fitness and talent at least

    People may laugh, but signing Ohtani doesn’t do anything. It makes little difference. It’s all these minor signings where you can actually win if you get it right that make more of a difference

    If you signed 4 or 5 Ohtanis, sure that’d make a difference, but one guy isn’t going to do anything

    When Bryce Harper gets injured, there’s basically no change in the win loss record. They lost Hoskins for the year and it made no difference

    But if Stearns hits on a few of these minor league contracts now all of a sudden you have a playoff level bullpen

    The season is won or lost on minor league contracts, not signing Ohtani

    These are actually the important moves
