Rotowire
The Mets signed Hagenman to a one-year, $850,000 contract Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Hagenman has never pitched at the big-league level, but the Mets saw enough promise in the 28-year-old to add him to their 40-man roster. The right-hander spent all of the 2024 season at Triple-A Worcester in the Red Sox organization, posting a 4.91 ERA and 98:31 K:BB over 91.2 innings while splitting time between the rotation and bullpen.
Boston acquired Hagenman and Nick Robertson from the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for Enrique Hernandez, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Hagenman, a 23rd-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft out of Penn State, had registered a sharp 2.78 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 60:11 K:BB through 55 innings this season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Dodgers in Oklahoma City. The 26-year-old right-hander could make his MLB debut with the Red Sox at some point before the end of the 2023 campaign.
