Feliciano was a fan favorite among Mets fans for several years, pitching from 2002-2010 with the club before signing a lucrative 2-year deal with the Yankees.
While a member of the Yanks, Feliciano continued endearing himself to Mets fans as he cashed huge paychecks while never throwing a pitch in a major league game for the Bronx Bombers.
The only way the story could play out any further is if Every Day Pedro returns to form while rejoining his former club this season in Queens.

Yankees paid Feliciano $8 million for zero major-league appearances in two years. Now he returns to Mets on minor-league deal.

Feliciano was a workhorse for the Mets throughout his tenure with the team and a source of reliable innings before shoulder injuries derailed his career.

Feliciano led the majors in games pitched from 2008-2010 making 266 appearances. He has held lefties to a career .214 mark.

It’s hard to guess what Perennial Pedro has left in the tank, but he pitched well in Winter League ball and is the type of low-risk / low-cost reliever the Mets were looking for to help round out their bullpen.

After missing the last 2 years, Feliciano had a 1.23 ERA in 7 relief games in Puerto Rican Winter League this season.
