The New York Mets signed Jose Martinez on Thursday, signing the right-handed power bat to a split contract. This brings Martinez to the Mets at an affordable cost, adding some depth to their roster.

The Mets introduced their new starting pitcher on Tuesday, as Carlos Carrasco spoke with the media.
