Mets sign OF Desmond Jennings to minor league contract (Yahoo Sports)

The New York Mets have signed outfielder Desmond Jennings to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas. The 30-year-old Jennings has played seven seasons in the majors with Tampa Bay. New York outfielders Curtis Granderson, Jay Bruce and Michael Conforto all bat left-handed, so Jennings is a good fit in adding depth because he's a right-handed hitter with plenty of experience in center field.
