4 years agoThe New York Mets' relief corps continues to grow by the day heading into the start of Spring Training next week. On Sunday, the team inked veteran left-hander Mike Montgomery and right-hander Tommy Hunter to Minor League deals with invites to big league camp. Montgomery pitched in just three games last year for Kansas City, and has been used as a swingman throughout his career, best known for recording the final out of the 2016 World Series. Hunter made 24 appearances in 2020 with the Phillies, amassing a 4.01 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. An additional spot on the Opening Day roster figures to have been opened by Seth Lugo's (elbow) injury, although neither Montgomery nor Hunter is on track to make an immediate impact in the overwhelming majority of season-long fantasy formats.--Jesse Borek
