Seth Lugo is joining the team that ended the Mets’ season.
The right-hander is signing with the Padres, The Post’s Jon Heyman first reported, on a two-year, $15 million contract.
Lugo, 33, has spent the last seven years with the Mets, mostly as a reliever. He made 275 appearances for the club, pitching to a 3.48 ERA and sprinkling in 16 saves. Lugo has never been shy about his desire to be a starting pitcher, but the Mets mostly kept him in the bullpen after the 2017 season, during which he had a 4.71 ERA while making 19 appearances . He made seven starts during the COVID-impacted 2020 season but did not start in 2019, ’21 or ’22. Lugo had a 3.60 ERA with 69 strikeouts in 65 innings this year.
The Padres, however, plan to use Lugo as a starter, according to The Post’s Joel Sherman, who reports the Dodgers “were also in the bidding until the end.”The Mets were eliminated by the Padres in three games during the wild-card round of the playoffs at Citi Field. Lugo appeared in all three games, earning the save in Game 2.
