Mets, Yankees Among 'Most Interested' in Free Agent Michael King

Free agent RHP Michael King is drawing strong interest from the Mets and Yankees, among other clubs like the Orioles, Tigers, and Marlins. King was "tremendous" in 2024 transitioning to a full-time starter but was limited to 15 Padres outings due to a nerve injury in his throwing shoulder and a knee injury. He possesses top-of-the-rotation potential when healthy, but durability concerns could lead to a short-term deal. King might bet on himself with a shorter contract, aiming for the market again next winter.
