The Mets have signed infielder Junior Spivey to a minor league contract.

wow… to me, the real news is that Junior Spivey still plays baseball

Spivey last played in the major leagues for the Nationals in 2005, when he hit just .221 in 28 games.

Also, the Mets announced today that Julio Franco – yes, that Julio Franco – will manage the Low-A Gulf Coast League Mets, while Mike DeFelice – yes, that Mike DeFelicie – will manage the Kingsport Mets.
