Mets Sign Claudio Vargas
The Mets have signed Claudio Vargas to a minor league deal. Vargas will report to extended spring training in Port St. Lucie before going to AAA New Orleans.
Given the state of the Mets rotation this is a good move. Depending on how long it takes Pedro Martinez to return and Orlando Hernandez to do whatever it is that he’s going to do we’ll probably see Vargas in the Mets rotation before too long. I mean let’s not kid ourselves. It’s a minor league contract but this is clearly a signing that was done because of issues at the major league level. As such it’s most probable that it was done having in mind that unless the unlikely best case scenario occurs (Martinez and Hernandez recover quickly, stay healthy and are effective the rest of the season) this player will see significant time at the major league level.
