Mets signed LHP Anderson Severino to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

A former Yankees prospect, Severino, 31, hasn’t pitched in the U.S. since 2022, when he made his major league debut with the White Sox despite pitching to an 11.40 ERA in Triple-A (he allowed five runs in 7 1/3 innings in his six MLB appearances). However, he’s coming off a fine season in Mexico in which he posted a 2.32 ERA in 42 2/3 innings of relief, and he’s currently up to 5 2/3 scoreless innings in the Dominican Winter League. That’ll get him a look in camp.
