The Mets signed Griffin Canning to a one-year, $4.25 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
Canning posted a 5.19 ERA across 32 appearances (31 starts) last season with the Angels. He was non-tendered by the Braves last month. He'll compete in spring training for a spot at the end of the Mets starting rotation or potentially in a long relief role.
The Braves have non-tendered Griffin Canning.
Fantasy Impact
Canning struggled in 2024, posting a 5.19 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP in 32 games last season. He will head to free agency after being acquired in the Jorge Soler trade in late October.
Griffin Canning has been traded to the Atlanta Braves for Jorge Soler.
Fantasy Impact
After spending six years with the Angels, the 28-year-old righty gets a fresh start in Atlanta. Canning looks poised to replace free agent Max Fried in the Braves rotation.
Griffin Canning delivered a mediocre outing in Saturday's high-scoring affair against the Rangers, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not factoring into the decision in the Angels' 9-8 loss, Canning's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers. His season-long struggles are reflected in a bloated 5.19 ERA and a WHIP of 1.40, compounded by a low strikeout rate of 6.8 K/9. Given these metrics and his unimpressive 6-13 record, Canning remains a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. His inability to limit runs or miss bats consistently makes him a liability, and managers should consider other options with more upside or stability.
Griffin Canning delivered a gem on Tuesday, allowing no earned runs on just three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in the Angels' 5-0 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
This standout performance is a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Canning, who entered the game with a bloated 5.21 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Despite these struggles, his latest outing could provide a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers looking for late-season stability in their pitching rotation. However, given his overall season metrics, including a low 6.8 K/9 and a high 5.22 FIP, fantasy managers should remain cautious. This performance might be more of an outlier than a sign of a turnaround, so it's wise to keep expectations tempered moving forward.
