The Mets have signed right-hander Michael Tonkin, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. It is a Major League deal for Tonkin, who turned 34 last month.
After posting a 4.43 ERA over 146 1/3 innings with the Twins from 2013-17, Tonkin didn't play in the majors until resurfacing with the Braves last season. The five-year odyssey saw Tonkin pitch in Japan, the Mexican Leagues, the independent Long Island Ducks, and within the affiliated minors with the Braves, Diamondbacks, and Brewers. That stint with Milwaukee's Triple-A affiliate occurred in 2019 when David Stearns was still running the Brewers' front office, so today's deal reunites Tonkin with the Mets' new president of baseball operations.
