The Mets made a small move to add to their bullpen depth on Wednesday, signing veteran Jose Valverde to a minor league contract with an invitation to big league camp.


Valverde, 35, has served as closer for Houston, Arizona and Detroit. He has 286 career saves. Valverde appeared in 20 games for the Tigers last year, and was released on August 7.
