Abreu re-signed with the Mets on a minor league contract Thursday. He was assigned to Triple-A Las Vegas. Released by the Mets on Sunday, Abreu scanned the market for a few days and received little interest from clubs on a major league contract, prompting him to rejoin the organization. The 40-year-old will have the opportunity to keep his career going, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot may preclude him from earning a promotion to the Mets again this season.
