Mets sign Henry Blanco to one-year deal [Updated]

The Mets have signed catcher Henry Blanco to a one-year, $1.5 million deal, according to Francisco Blavia of ESPN Deportes (via MetsBlog).

Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post confirms the report.

Blanco, the second catcher the Mets signed this off-season, will likely serve as the backup on the major league squad.  Chris Coste, the other catcher signed, will probably land in Triple-A.
