The Canadian Press Mr. Met , The Canadian Press NEW YORK — The Mets have signed right-hander Jerad Eickhoff, left-handers Jerry Blevins and Tom Windle, and infielder Wilfredo Tovar to minor league contracts. All four were invited to major league spring training. New York also gave minor league deals to lefty Cam Opp and catcher Jose Colina that did not include invitations to big league spring training. The team announced the moves Monday. The Mets told Blevins earlier this month they intended to bring him back to New York on a minor league deal.
