Veteran closer Craig Kimbrel signs minor league deal with Mets

Veteran closer Craig Kimbrel has signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets, including an invite to Spring Training. This move comes after initial reports linked him to the Houston Astros. Kimbrel, who will attempt to play his 17th big league season, had a short-lived reunion with the Braves last season before spending the rest of the year with the Astros, posting a 2.25 ERA across 12 innings.
