NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets have signed veteran left-handed reliever Tom Gorzelanny to a minor league contract.
According to WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman, also of FanRag Sports, Gorzelanny has been invited to spring training with the big-league team and would earn $1 million, plus potentially another $1.8 million in incentives, if he makes the major league roster.
The contract includes an out clause that allows Gorzelanny to sign with a team in Asia if the 12-year veteran is not guaranteed a big-league roster spot by March 24, Heyman reported.
Gorzelanny, 34, broke into the majors as a starter with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he spent parts of five seasons.
