Mets signed OF Bobby Abreu to a minor league contract. Abreu was cut loose by the Phillies this spring even though he hit .244/.404/.366, as they were concerned he wouldn't be able to play defense. He'll report to Triple-A Las Vegas and could be an option for the Mets' bench at some point, but the 40-year-old isn't going to see much playing time if promoted.
