(CelebNMusic247-News) Mets Sign Jose Valverde to Minor-league

The bullpen competition just got a little more interesting with The Mets since they signed Jose Valverde to the team!

Jose Valverde just inked a new deal minor league deal Wednesday with a spring training invite. Jose Valverde will be put against veteran Kyle Farnsworth and several of the Mets young prospects for a spot on the 25-man roster.

After appearing in 20 games with Detroit last year, the native Dominican Republican, Valverde was released at the age of 35.

 The Mets expect Parnell to be ready for Opening Day, but would like to have some insurance in dealing with an unusual injury.
