Mets Sign Right-Handed Reliever Nick Burdi to Minor League Deal

The Mets have signed right-handed reliever Nick Burdi to a minor league contract, bolstering their pitching depth. Burdi, 32, made his MLB debut in 2018 and has played for five different teams, including 5.1 scoreless innings for Boston last season. Despite a career 5.34 ERA, his 3.84 FIP suggests some unluckiness. The 6-foot-3 righty primarily uses a sinker-slider, mixing in a 94.0 MPH four-seam fastball.
