The New York Mets agreed to a two-year, $26-million deal with left-hander Jose Quintana, sources told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

Quintana's deal doesn't include options or opt-outs, according to the New York Post's Joel Sherman.

The southpaw split the 2022 campaign between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals, authoring a 6-7 record with a 2.92 ERA and 2.99 FIP in 32 starts.

Quintana, a one-time All-Star, owns an 89-87 record with a 3.75 ERA and 8.0 K/9 throughout his 11-year career. He's pitched for the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels, San Francisco Giants, Pirates, and Cardinals.

The 33-year-old is the latest addition by the Mets, who've also added Justin Verlander to next season's rotation.

New York remains involved in negotiations with Japanese free-agent Kodai Senga after adding Verlander and Quintana, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
