The New York Mets announced on Twitter, that they have signed former prospect RHP Kevin Mulvey to a minor league contract.
Mulvey, 26, last pitched in the Major Leagues with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010 where he appeared in two games in relief. He has appeared in only ten big league games in his career going 0-3 with a 7.90 ERA.
Once considered a highly regarded prospect for the Mets, Mulvey was traded to the Twins along with Deolis Guerra, Carlos Gomez and Philip Humber, when the Mets traded for Johan Santana before the 2009 season.
Andy Martino of the Daily News, reports that a person who has been in ‘regular contact’ with free agent RHP Chris Young says he wants to return to the Mets, and that such a reunion ‘will happen.’
The oft-injured right-hander is feeling increasingly healthy, writes Martino and he has narrowed his choices down to either the Mets or Padres.
Young, 32, made just four starts for the Mets in 2011, but was impressive posting a 1.88 ERA in 24 innings.

Jason Bay has not seen it on video, so he cannot tell exactly how open his batting stance has become. But the difference is clear for Bay, who has been hitting this spring with his left foot a full step behind his right, the front of his torso exposed to the field. The change is the most visible part of Bay's effort to avoid the mechanical tinkering that undid him last season...

After reading so much about Johan Santana‘s progress, what a thrill it was to see him firing strikes at will today against the Miami Marlins. Fastballs, changeups, sliders… he threw everything, but the...

What was it that Andy told the warden in The Shawshank Redemption – I think it was – how could you be so oblique? That comment got him sent to solitary. Right now Scott Hairston, David Wright and Kirk Nieuwenhuis are in baseball’s solitary, as they are all out with oblique injuries. I think I’ve learned more anatomy following baseball than I ever did in school.
