The Mets announced six minor league signings this afternoon: LHP Jerry Blevins, RHP Jerad Eichoff, LHP Tom Windle, INF Wilfredo Tovar, LHP Camrin Opp, and C Jose Colina. The first four of those players received invitations to spring training.
Jerry Blevins is arguably the highest profile signing of the sextet, as the 37 year-old veteran has spent 13 solid years in the majors, split between the Athletics, Nationals, Mets, and most recently the Braves in 2019 he spent the entirety of 2020 as a free agent after being cut by the Giants in March. Blevins spent four years in Queens, though he spent most of 2015 on the shelf after fracturing his arm on a comebacker, and re-fracturing his arm after slipping and falling on a curb. Blevins will bring a career 3.54 ERA to the table.

There are tens of thousands of games in a Minor League season and the majority of them come with an element of suspense. The very best of them might include a milestone – a no-hitter, a three- or four-homer game, a cycle or a triple play. Scads of them may swing on walk-off heroics or dominant pitching performances. A lot of them feature the brightest names in the Major Leagues first impressing their clubs and fans down on the farm. So it’s a formidable task to single out just 10 from the 2010s. In doing so, some had to be left behind or were used in our tally of Best Performances from the decade. These are the games that elicited shock and awe from the MiLB.com staff.
