Right-Hander José Ureña Joins New York Mets on Minor League Deal
Veteran right-hander José Ureña has signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets, aiming to strengthen their pitching depth ahead of the new season. The 32-year-old pitcher, who has played for teams like the Miami Marlins, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Colorado Rockies, will look to earn a spot on the Mets’ major league roster.
Ureña brings experience and versatility to the Mets’ system, having served both as a starter and reliever throughout his career. His last stint in the majors was with the Rockies, where he struggled with consistency. However, the Mets see potential in his high-velocity sinker and ability to induce ground balls.
