McGough signed a two-year minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
McGough made seven appearances (one start) with the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate during 2025, posting a 9.00 ERA and 2.20 WHIP over 15 innings before announcing his retirement in May. Now committed to playing again, the 27-year-old will look to get back on track with the Mets and likely begin the season at Triple-A Syracuse.

The Orioles traded McGough to the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Eloy Jimenez, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
McGough began the 2024 campaign in Double-A but quickly earned a promotion to Triple-A, where he's remained effective with a 2.08 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 34.2 innings out of the bullpen. Given his production in the minors and the White Sox's lack of MLB bullpen depth, it's possible the 26-year-old southpaw cracks the major leagues before the end of the season.
