The New York Mets sign Al Reyes
The Mets have signed 38-year old righty reliever Al Reyes. Reyes will help out the back end of the bullpen until Billy Wagner is ready to return to action. Reyes pitched in 26 games (0 starts) for the Rays this season and he was 2-2 with a 4.37 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. Reyes has had a solid major league career so he might have some gas left in the tank for the Mets. He has now pitched in 384 games (2 starts) in his major league career and he is 23-16 with 32 saves, a 3.82 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. Signing Reyes was a good low risk gamble for the Mets as he won’t cost them much.
