Mets Morning News: Rick Porcello, lifelong Mets fan

The Mets made the Rick Porcello signing official. He will earn $10 million.

To make room for Porcello, the team designated pitcher Stephen Nogosek for assignment.

In his first remarks as a Met, Porcello revealed that he “grew up a lifelong Mets fan as a kid” and that the 2000 Mets were one of his favorite teams. Same, Rick, same.

Porcello has had his eyes set on the Mets from the onset of free agency.

Porcello is looking to rebound from a rough 2019 season with the Red Sox.
