Former Philadelphia Phillies fan-favorite Vance Worley is back in affiliated baseball, having agreed to a minor-league deal with the New York Mets.
It’s not yet clear what level Worley will report to with the Mets. One would think he’ll head to Triple-A Syracuse, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Now 33, Worley was 2-2 with a 4.01 ERA in five starts for the Kane County Cougars of the independent American Association. Worley did have a complete game in his time with the team.
This will be the second time that Worley has pitched in the Mets organization.
