Offseason

On November 22, 2013, the Mets signed Chris Young to a one-year $7.25 million deal.[1]

The Mets agreed to terms with free agent outfielder Curtis Granderson on a four-year contract worth $60 million on December 6, 2013.[2]

The Mets signed Bartolo Colón on December 11, 2013 to bolster their starting rotation with the expected season long absence of ace starter Matt Harvey due to Tommy John surgery in October. Colón signed for $20 million over two years.[3]

The Mets opened up the regular season on March 31 at home against the Washington Nationals.
