Mets agree to terms with all 6 arbitration-eligible players

The Mets signed each of their six previously unsigned arbitration-eligible players on Thursday.

Pitchers David Peterson, Tylor Megill, Reed Garrett and Huascar Brazobán and catchers Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens all avoided the possibility of an arbitration hearing when they agreed to their respective one-year deals.

Peterson nearly doubled his salary by agreeing to a one-year, $8.1 million salary (all salaries are according to sources). The 30-year-old hurler made $4.625 million while producing a 4.22 ERA over 30 starts for New York last year. He has a 4.12 ERA through 131 career appearances (115 starts). He produced a career-best 2.95 ERA over 21 starts (121 innings) in 2024.

Megill will make $2.5 million during his second arb-eligible season. The 30-year-old right-hander made $1.975 million while producing a 3.95 ERA over 14 starts in 2025. He will miss the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Alvarez gained a $2.4 million salary as he got his first taste of being an arb-eligible player. The 24-year-old catcher has hit 48 homers while constructing a .735 OPS through the first 304 games (1,056 plate appearances) of his career.

Torrens’ salary will increase from $1.5 million to $2.275 million after he produced a .629 OPS while appearing in a 92 games last year.

Garrett’s salary will rise from $950,000 to $1.3 million after he posted a 3.90 ERA over a career-high 58 appearances last year. He will also miss 2026 while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Brazoban’s salary jumps from $778,000 to $1.05 million after he constructed a 3.57 ERA over 52 appearances in 2025.
