The Mets have added some organizational depth at first base.
According to Hector Gomez, the Mets have signed first baseman Dariel Gomez to a minor league deal.
Gomez, 26, is a left-handed hitting first baseman born in the Dominican Republic. He played at the High-A level in the Seattle Mariners organization last season.
In 113 games, Gomez slashed .222/.321/.472 with 26 home runs (leading the Northwest League) and 65 RBI. He did have a penchant for the punchout, though, as he struck out 163 times in those 113 games.
