Tomoyuki Sugano, who had been on the radar of both the Mets and Yankees this offseason, reached a four-year, $40 million deal to return to the Yomiuri Giants, a Japanese baseball team, according to The Athletic.

As previously reported, the deal includes three opt-outs which means the right-hander could enter the MLB free-agent market again next offseason. The one-year salary with the Yomiuri Giants is expected to be in the $8 million range, according to the website.

Sugano, 31, went 14-2 with a 1.97 ERA, a 0.89 WHIP and 131 strikeouts in 137 innings in 2020. In eight seasons with the Giants, Sugano has posted a 101-50 mark with a 2.34 ERA, and twice has won the Sawamura Award as the best pitcher in Nippon Professional Baseball.

The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed a few days ago that the Mets were no longer in the hunt for Sugano. He also had been linked to the Giants, Blue Jays and Red Sox.

The Yankees, who face many questions regarding their starting rotation, have had mixed results with Japanese pitchers over the past two decades. Masahiro Tanaka, a free agent, has been the most successful for the Yankees, and Hiroki Kuroda had a solid stint in The Bronx. But Hideki Irabu and Kei Igawa were high-priced busts.
