The Mets signed Brosseau to a minor-league contract Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Brosseau was released by the Royals last week after hitting only .107/.212/.143 across 33 plate appearances at Triple-A Omaha. The 30-year-old has a career .790 OPS against left-handed pitching at the major-league level, although that number dropped to just .571 in 2023. Brosseau will give the Mets experienced infield depth.

Mike Brosseau: Cut by Royals

He will now presumably seek another minor-league deal from a different organization, and his career .741 OPS in the majors should help the 30-year-old secure a contract relatively easily.
