According to Adam Rubin, the Mets have signed career minor-leaguer Mike Hessman to a minor-league deal.
He’s 31-years-old, hit .217 / .324 / .442 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI last year with the Detroit Tiger’s Triple-A team. Hessman last played in the majors in 2008 with the Tigers, hitting .296 / .387 / .889 in 12 games with the Tigers.
Hessman has played every position at the minor league level, with the majority of his time coming at third base.
