Mets to Non-Tender LHP Danny Young Following Tommy John Surgery

The Mets are reportedly planning to non-tender left-handed pitcher Danny Young, making him a free agent ahead of the Nov. 21 deadline. The 31-year-old appeared in 10 games for the Mets in 2025 before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May. Young, who was not arbitration-eligible and set to make approximately $820,000 in 2025, is on pace to return to action at some point in the first half of the 2026 season. He posted a 4.54 ERA across 42 relief appearances with the Mets in 2024.
