News: Mets sign German Catcher

by Matthew Cerrone on April 21st, 2008 at 9:19 am

The Mets have signed 21–year-old German C Kai Gronauer to a two-year minor league contract.

For more on Gronauer, who has played for the German national team since 2005, go to Baseball Reference.

…from what i can gather, he will first report to extended spring training in St. Lucie, after which he’ll latch on with one of the organization’s single-a teams…gronauer had been courted by the Pirates as well, but did not want to sign with them…instead, he chose the Mets…
