The Mets continue to add depth to their outfield, as they have reportedly signed Gregor Blanco to a minor-league deal, per Fancred Sports Jon Heyman.

This is the second outfielder the Mets have signed to a minor-league deal, with Rajai Davis coming aboard as well.

Blanco, 34, has spent 10 seasons in the MLB, with the Giants being his most recent team in 2018. Over 68 games last season, he hit .217/.262/.317 with two homers and 12 RBI. 

Blanco has played each outfield position in his career, and could be used in the same capacity for the Mets off the bench if he makes the club out of Spring Training.
