The Mets have signed relief pitcher Cory Wade to a minor league deal. The righty will immediately report to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Wade last appeared in the Majors during the 2012 season with the Yankees. The 30 year old posted a 6.46 ERA in 39 relief appearances. Despite the rough ERA, he had a strong 1.8 BB/ ratio.
The year prior, he had his strongest season to date. He had a 2.04 ERA in 40 appearances with the Yankees. He signed a minor league deal with the Rays in 2013, and had a solid 2.17 ERA in 30 Triple-A appearances.
This is a solid low risk pickup. Wade has a history of success, and at this point the Mets are looking for veteran relief arms. Wade will likely stick with the 51s until their postseason is over, then he'll earn himself a look with the Major League team in September.
