Former Mets LHP Danny Young signs with Braves on one-year, split contract

Danny Young is staying in the NL East.

The Braves have signed the former Mets reliever to a one-year, split contract.

Young, of course, was non-tendered by the Mets late last month.

The southpaw is working his way back from Tommy John, and according to a Will Sammon of the Athletic, he has already resumed throwing.

He will begin the year on the IL, but is on pace to return at some point in the first half.

Young was limited to just 10 games last season before going down to injury.

When healthy he put together a bit of an up-and-down tenure in Queens, pitching to 4.50 ERA in 52 outings.

He’ll now return to Atlanta, where he spent some time during the 2023 campaign.

Young will also have the opportunity to reunite with former Mets pitching coach Jeremy Hefner.
