Mets signed LHP Gustavo Chacin to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Buffalo.
Chacin was released by the Astros last week after posting an ugly 5.13 ERA over nine starts and 18 relief appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He'll likely function as organizational depth.

The Mets are planning to sign left-hander Gustavo Chacin to a minor league contract.
Once a promising young starter in the Blue Jays' system, Chacin has fallen on hard times. He was released by the Astros earlier this week after posting a 5.13 ERA in nine starts and 18 relief appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Mets aren't likely to get much out of the 30-year-old.

Chacin had an ugly 5.13 ERA over nine starts and 18 relief appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, averaging 5.0 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9. The 30-year-old southpaw appeared in 44 games with the Astros last season, but isn't likely to get another shot in the majors any time soon.
