The New York Mets added to their bullpen choices by signing former Chicago Cubs nearer Adbert Alzolay to a minor-league contract, in line with a number of stories Friday.

Will Sammon of The Athletic was first to report the deal.

Alzolay was restricted to 18 video games in 2024 due to a proper elbow damage that finally required Tommy John surgical procedure. In 2023, he went 2-5 with a 2.67 ERA and 22 saves for the Chicago Cubs.
