The New York Mets and right-hander Griffin Canning agreed to a one-year, $4.25 million deal, multiple outlets reported.

The contract with the 28-year-old free agent is pending the results of a physical, per the reports Wednesday night.

Canning finished 6-13 with a 5.19 ERA in 32 games (31 starts) with the Los Angeles Angels last season.

He posted career highs in games, starts and innings (171 2/3) and allowed an American League-high 99 earned runs.

Canning compiled a 25-34 record and a 4.78 ERA in 99 career games (94 starts) for the Angels (2019-21, 2023-24). He won a Gold Glove award in 2020 and missed the entire 2022 season with a lower-back fracture.
