Mets add Claudio on minor league contractJanuary 13, 2022 | 05:07 PM

Mets signed LHP Alex Claudio to a minor league contract. Analysis: No word yet as to whether Claudio gets a spring training invite, but it would be surprising if he didn't. The left-hander was released by the Angels at the end of July with a disappointing 5.51 ERA through 32 2/3 innings, and didn't appear with the Red Sox after signing with them in August. The southpaw has a history of getting left-handed hitters out, and will get a chance to earn a job in the New York bullpen when spring training begins.
