The New York Mets made a depth signing on Monday morning, as they look to solidify their bullpen with an eye on the MLB 2020 season that will start on July 23rd. The team inked right-handed pitcher Hunter Strickland to a minor league contract.
The Mets announced the move on their official Twitter account. The hurler, known for his stints with the San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners and Washington Nationals, has been added to the club’s 60-man player pool, which means he is eligible to play this season if they so decide.
Strickland was let go by the Nats in March after posting some ugly numbers in the abbreviated spring training.
