New York Mets pitcher Frankie Montas, despite a disappointing season due to injuries, has decided to exercise his seventeen million dollar player option for the upcoming season. This move comes as MLB's free agency period begins, with many players weighing their futures. Montas's decision is largely due to his limited availability and high earned run average, making free agency a less attractive option. The Mets, who signed him to a two-year, thirty-four million dollar deal, will now have to wait until the two thousand twenty-six season for his return, as he undergoes Tommy John surgery recovery.
