Mets sign reliever Jose Marte

The Mets have signed right-handed reliever Jose Marte to a minor league deal.

According to Robert Murray of FanSided, the contract is for two years.

Marte, 28, had right shoulder surgery last September and is working his way back.

In 19.1 innings over 14 appearances last season for the Angels, Marte had a 2.33 ERA (4.10 FIP) and 1.24 WHIP while striking out 10 batters.

Marte's fastball was a high-octane one last year as he averaged 96.5 mph with his four-seamer and 96.3 mph with his sinker. In addition to the four- and two-seam fastballs, Marte features a slider (which he used nearly 40 percent of the time in 2024) and a changeup.

During his four-year career, all with the Angels, Marte has a 5.56 ERA and 1.78 WHIP with 41 strikeouts in 43.2 innings over 39 games.
