Every Mets free agent signing 2022-23 offseason

NEW YORK — It was barely two years ago that Steve Cohen, upon purchasing the Mets, cautioned the public that he and team officials would not “spend like drunken sailors” in their pursuit of a revamped roster. For two winters, Cohen held to that ideal, keeping his expenditures (relatively) modest.

Then, everything changed. So far this offseason, the Mets have committed a Major League-record $806.1 million to free agents, in addition to more than a half-dozen other deals. It can be hard to keep track of it all, so here’s a look at every big leaguer the Mets have added since the end of the World Series.

*Deals with an asterisk are not yet official and unconfirmed by the team.

3B Carlos Correa, 12 years, $315 million *
The stunner of the offseason, Correa agreed to a 12-year deal with the Mets after his 13-year, $350 million agreement with the Giants fell through over concern about his physical. Correa will play third base for the Mets, forming a potent left side of the infield with Francisco Lindor.

OF Brandon Nimmo, 8 years, $162 million
A fan favorite in Flushing, Nimmo explored interest from teams, including the Giants and Yankees, before returning to the Mets on what was (briefly) their most expensive deal of the offseason. He has already been in the organization for 12 years and stands a good chance of becoming a Met for life.

RHP Edwin Díaz, 5 years, $102 million
Díaz’s signing was the first significant move by any team this offseason, as the Mets moved quickly to lock up their All-Star closer. His contract includes a $20 million option for the 2028 season, giving fans ample opportunities to hear “Narco” blare at Citi Field over the next half-decade.

RHP Justin Verlander, 2 years, $86.6 million
It says something about the Mets’ offseason that Verlander’s deal seems downright cheap in comparison to some others. The three-time Cy Young Award winner and former MVP signed on to replace Jacob deGrom atop the Mets’ rotation. His contract includes a $35 million vesting option for 2025 and matches Max Scherzer’s deal for the highest average annual value in Major League history.

RHP Kodai Senga, 5 years, $75 million
The wild card of the offseason is Senga, a six-time Japan Series champion who became an unrestricted free agent in November. The Mets scooped him up with an eye toward making him their No. 3 starter, though Senga will need to prove that his signature “ghost forkball” can be as potent against MLB hitters as it was on the other side of the Pacific.

LHP José Quintana, 2 years, $26 million
Completely overshadowed by the Mets’ flashier signings was their two-year deal for Quintana, an 11-year veteran who produced a 2.93 ERA over 32 starts for the Pirates and Cardinals last season. Quintana should slot fourth in the rotation behind Scherzer, Verlander and Senga.
