New York Mets Sign Former Toronto Blue Jays Reliever Genesis Cabrera to Minor League Deal
The New York Mets have made a notable move in the offseason by signing former Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis Cardinals left-handed reliever Genesis Cabrera to a minor league contract. This deal includes an invitation for Cabrera to attend the Mets’ big league camp, as announced on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
Cabrera, who has experience with both the Cardinals and the Blue Jays, brings a level of depth to the Mets’ bullpen. His signing is part of the Mets’ efforts to bolster their pitching staff during the offseason. The move comes after the Toronto Blue Jays decided not to retain Cabrera, allowing him to explore other opportunities.
The minor league contract provides Cabrera with a chance to prove himself and potentially earn a spot on the Mets’ major league roster. This signing is indicative of the Mets’ strategy to add versatile and experienced players to their team as they prepare for the upcoming season).
