NEW YORK -- The Mets have signed right-hander Jerad Eickhoff, left-handers Jerry Blevins and Tom Windle, and infielder Wilfredo Tovar to minor league contracts.
All four were invited to major league spring training. New York also gave minor league deals to lefty Cam Opp and catcher Jose Colina that did not include invitations to big league spring training.
The team announced the moves Monday. The Mets told Blevins earlier this month they intended to bring him back to New York on a minor league deal.
The 30-year-old Eickhoff spent time last season at the alternate training sites for San Diego and Texas but did not pitch in the majors.
