Mets Sign Javier Valentin, Tom Martin

By Tim Dierkes [May 15, 2009 at 8:44am CST]

According to Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News, the Mets signed Javier Valentin and Tom Martin to minor league deals.

Valentin, 33, signed with the Nationals in February but chose free agency in March when he didn't make the team. He can catch and play first base, and hit .256/.326/.411 in 144 plate appearances last year.

Martin, 38, was released by the Mets in March. Earlier that month he'd strained his calf and broken his wrist falling down the stairs. I guess the team had a change of heart. The lefty reliever pitched in the Atlantic League last year.
