Mets sign Kyle Farnsworth

The Mets have signed Kyle Farnsworth to a minor-league deal. Farnsworth did a surprisingly nice job down the stretch for the Pirates, pitching well enough that I thought he might make the roster for the one-game playoff against the Reds. He didn't, but he still allowed just one run and struck out nine batters in the 8.2 innings he pitched for the Bucs. He might have some gas left in the tank, so maybe he'll join Vic Black in the Mets' bullpen.
