Bard signed a minor-league deal Sunday with the Mets, SB Nation's Chris Cotillo reports.
The Cardinals released Bard on May 23, so it did not take too long for Bard to find a new home. Right now, it appears this is a move to provide some organizational depth for a team that seemingly always has an important arm or two hurt. The right-hander has not pitched in the majors since 2013 and had a 10.38 ERA with a 2.88 WHIP with Double-A Springfield before his release.
