Mets signing LHP Trey McGough to two-year minor league deal: report

The Mets are adding to their pitching depth, signing left-handed pitcher Trey McGough to a two-year minor league deal, reports Will Sammon of The Athletic.

McGough, 27, has a 3.21 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across six minor league seasons.

He has spent time in the Pirates, Orioles, and White Sox organizations.

McGough worked as primarily a starter in college at Mount St. Mary's and during his first few minor league seasons, but was used mainly in relief in 2024 and 2025.

Along with Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, the Mets' bullpen in 2026 is expected to include left-handers A.J. Minter and Brooks Raley -- though the start of Minter's season could be a bit delayed following lat surgery this past May.

Huascar Brazoban also figures to be in the bullpen mix, as do hard-throwing prospects Dylan Ross and Ryan Lambert.

Other relievers who could compete for roles include Jonathan Pintaro (who made his big league debut last season), Adbert Alzolay (who is on a two-year minor league deal and missed the 2025 season), Richard Lovelady, Alex Carrillo, and Joey Gerber.
