I know we don't like to overpay for relievers, but I'd rather do that then throw unproven kids in critical situations. Calero was good last year and was affordable.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep.

I'm assuming there's a reason why he didn't land a ML deal *anywhere.*

The Mets signed him to a Minor League deal.

The Mets signed Kiko Calero to a minor league deal worth up to $1.5MM. He earns $850K if he makes the team, with another $650K available in incentives. There is no opt-out if the Mets send him to the minors.


As far as why he wasn't signed to a Major League deal, I am sure it has to do with his injury histroy
