Luis Severino's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Free-agent right-hander Luis Severino is officially rejecting the New York Mets' $21.05 million qualifying offer for one year on Tuesday, according to a source. The Mets and Severino are allowed to discuss a potential deal for a reunion, but if he signs elsewhere on the open market, the Mets will get an extra draft pick as compensation. The Mets could get additional compensation if left-hander Sean Manaea also rejects his qualifying offer and signs with another club. Severino will be heading into his age-31 season in 2025 coming off a year in which he went 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA (4.21 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP and 161:60 K:BB in 182 innings over his 31 starts in his first year in Queens. The two-time All-Star was able to stay healthy all year, but fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect a second straight year of good health for the oft-injured hurler.

Free-agent starting pitcher Luis Severino is expected to decline the qualifying offer that the New York Mets extended to him. The qualifying offer was for one year, however, Severino is seeking a multi-year deal, looking to capitalize on the relative success of his 2024 campaign. The 30-year-old made 31 starts and pitched 182 innings, both of which were the most since 2018, posting a 3.91 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. The former 2x All-Star has until Tuesday to accept the offer, but if he does not and another team signs him, then the Mets would get draft pick compensation.

The New York Mets are extending a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer to free-agent right-hander Luis Severino. If Severino rejects the team's qualifying offer and signs with another team on the open market, the Mets will receive draft-pick compensation. In his first year in Queens, Severino went 11-7 for the Mets with a 3.91 ERA (4.21 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP and a 161:60 K:BB in 182 innings over his 31 starts. The 30-year-old veteran from Dominican Republic allowed nine runs (six earned) on 17 hits while walking six and striking out 13 in his three playoff starts in October. It was a serviceable season for Severino, but his strikeout rate was still at only 21.2 percent, and injury questions aren't going to go away. Severino's fantasy value will probably be the highest if he remains with the Mets for a second go-round.
