SAN DIEGO — The more the merrier.
After identifying starting rotation depth as a Mets weakness, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen added another piece before departing the winter meetings Thursday, agreeing to terms with Rick Porcello on a one-year contract worth $10 million, according to an industry source.
The 30-year-old Porcello, a former Seton Hall prep standout, went 14-12 with a 5.52 ERA in 32 starts for the Red Sox last season, three years removed from winning the American League Cy Young award.
A day earlier, Van Wagenen agreed to terms with free agent Michael Wacha on an incentive laden one-year contract with a $3 million base salary.
