The Blue Jays signed Connor Overton to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Impact
Overton spent spring training with the Mets organization. He will add pitching depth for Toronto.
The Mets have signed right-hander Connor Overton to a minor-league contract, adding depth to their pitching staff. Overton last appeared in the majors between 2021-2023, posting a 4.85 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 38:23 K:BB ratio over 59 1/3 innings with the Reds, Pirates, and Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Overton has experience as both a starter and reliever, giving the Mets a versatile depth option at Triple-A Syracuse. While he isn’t expected to factor into the Opening Day roster, injuries or poor performances could open a path for him to contribute at some point. Fantasy managers can ignore him for now, but he could provide spot-start value in deeper formats if he earns a call-up.
Connor Overton has been placed on the 15-day IL due to a right elbow strain.
Fantasy Impact
A timeline for a return for Overton is unclear at the moment. Luke Weaver has been called up and will likely take Overton's spot in the rotation for the time being.
