Mets avoid arbitration drama, reach deals with David Peterson and five others

There will be no arbitration drama for the 2025 Mets.

The Mets on Thursday reached one-year contract agreements with each of their arbitration-eligible players: righties Paul Blackburn and Tylor Megill, lefty David Peterson, outfielders Jose Siri and Tyrone Taylor, and catcher Luis Torrens.

Megill settled at $1.975 million, according to a source.

Siri agreed to terms for $2.4 million, according to FanSided.

The other four salaries were not immediately known, but none will require dreaded arbitration cases.

Last year, the Mets went to arbitration with reliever Phil Bickford, who won the case but was released in March.

This winter, the Mets already had settled with righty Sean Reid-Foley on an $800,000 pact to avoid arbitration.

Blackburn and Megill will represent depth for a rotation that will include Peterson after a breakout 2024 season.

Siri, an electric outfielder who posted just a .620 OPS in 130 games with the Rays last season, will compete for time in center field with Taylor, who can play all three outfield spots after a strong first season in Queens.

Torrens is penciled in as the backup to Francisco Alvarez after coming over from the Yankees in a late-May trade and not hitting much but throwing out 13 of 28 would-be base-stealers.
