Breaking:Mets star unlikely to accept qualifying offer reason..
The Mets extended him a qualifying offer a few days ago, and while he has until Tuesday to officially announce his decision, all signs indicate that he will reject it and seek a multi-year deal.
“According to a report from Will Sammon of The Athletic… Severino “loves” playing in New York but is now expected to attempt to land a multi-year deal in free agency this winter,”
Severino has played in the Big Apple since 2015, being part of the Yankees’ group of young prospects that entered the scene in the second half of the 2010s.
The Mets then took a chance on him and he responded with 182 fantastic innings, which had to be as close to the best-case scenario as it gets. Even after pitching very well in the regular season, he helped in the playoffs with a 3.24 ERA in 16.1 frames.
