The New York Mets have announced the signing of former Chicago Cubs closer Adbert Alzolay to a two-year minor league deal. Alzolay, a 29-year-old right-handed pitcher, has shown promising potential since his debut in the MLB. The Mets are hopeful that he can contribute to their pitching rotation after struggling with injuries over the past few seasons. Alzolay, known for his effective slider and fastball, was limited to only 22 appearances last season due to various health issues. Mets general manager Billy Eppler expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, ‘Adbert has shown he can be a reliable option when healthy, and we believe he can provide depth to our pitching staff.’ As part of the minor league contract, Alzolay will receive an invitation to spring training, giving him a chance to compete for a spot in the major league roster for the upcoming season. This move indicates the Mets’ commitment to bolstering their pitching options as they prepare for the 2025 MLB season.
