The New York Mets have surprisingly signed former Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher
The Toronto Blue Jays walk away from quite a few pitcher this off-season including Genesis Cabrera who has now signed a new deal with the New York Mets.
The Blue Jays had one of the worst bullpen's in the MLB last season which is why they decided to release many of their pitchers as they look for a fresh start signing new relief pitchers in free agency.

This is a surprising deal since most would have thought heading into free agency that Cabrera would be able to land a major league deal but it looks like he was only able to land a minor league one.
Due to his experience and numbers in the majors, Cabrera will likely see some time in the MLB next season even if he starts his year in Triple-A.
