Canning signed a one-year, $4.25 million contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Canning made 32 appearances (31 starts) for the Angels last season, accumulating a 5.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 130:66 K:BB over 171.2 innings. He'll presumably compete with Tylor Megill for the final spot in New York's rotation during spring training, and whoever misses the cut will likely be moved to the bullpen to serve as a long reliever.

Atlanta non-tendered Canning on Friday. Canning went 6-13 across a career-high 31 starts with the Angels in 2024 and struggled to a 5.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 130:66 K:BB over 171.2 innings. He was traded to Atlanta for Jorge Soler on Oct. 31, but he will not make it to spring training with the NL East squad. Canning will draw interest from teams in need of starting pitching or a right-hander who can deliver multi-inning relief out of the bullpen.

The Angels traded Canning to Atlanta on Thursday in exchange for Jorge Soler. Canning started a career-high 31 games in 2024 but struggled mightily throughout the year, turning in a 5.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 130:66 K:BB through 171.2 innings. Now in Atlanta, the 28-year-old righty will likely compete for a rotation spot during spring training. Otherwise, he could be moved into a multi-inning relief role.

Canning did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings while striking out four. Canning gave up a leadoff knock in three of his five innings of work, including a home run to Nathaniel Lowe in the second, but the right-hander still managed to hold Texas to just two runs over that stretch while generating 10 swings and misses. It was a solid showing for Canning, who's now gone at least five frames in six of his last seven starts. However, it also marked the sixth consecutive outing in which he's given up multiple free passes.

Canning yielded four runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out three during the win over Houston. Canning gave up one run through four frames before serving up home runs to Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman in the fifth inning. Fortunately for Canning, the Angels' offense got hot late, and he avoided taking the loss. He's allowed five home runs over his last three starts, resulting in a 7.31 ERA during that span. Canning owns a 5.56 ERA in September and a 5.24 ERA through 166.2 innings this season. His final start of the 2024 campaign is lined up to be at home against Texas next weekend.
