Mets signing Japanese ace Kodai Senga to 5-year, $75 million contract, source says

The Mets got their guy — yep, another one.

They agreed to a five-year, $75 million deal with Kodai Senga, a source said late Saturday night, ending their weekslong pursuit of the Japanese righthander and bringing in their new third starting pitcher of the week.

That rounds out the Mets’ rotation, which now includes Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Senga, Jose Quintana and Carlos Carrasco. David Peterson, Tylor Megill, Joey Lucchesi, Elieser Hernandez and others remain as depth options — or bullpen candidates, since that section of roster is still very much in flux.
