The New York Mets are enhancing their pitching roster by signing veteran right-hander Rico Garcia to a minor league contract, which includes an invitation to spring training. The deal could be worth up to $900K if Garcia secures a spot on the major league roster.
Garcia, who did not play in the majors last season, excelled in Triple-A with 20 saves and a 3.94 ERA for the Rochester Red Wings. This signing marks the Mets' third addition to their pitching depth this offseason, as they continue to seek reinforcements for their bullpen.
