Just over a week after being released from the Houston Astros, first baseman Jon Singleton has signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets and will report to Triple-A Syracuse. Singleton's time with Houston ended in March after he failed to make the Astros' Opening Day roster.

Former Houston Astros first baseman Jon Singleton has signed a minor-league deal with the New York Mets, the Mets announced Wednesday. The Astros released Singleton last week after deciding not to carry the 33-year-old on the opening day roster.

Now, after a week on the free-agent market, Singleton has found his new home. The four-year MLB veteran has signed a minor-league contract with the New York Mets. In addition, the Mets announced that Singleton will report to Triple-A Syracuse.
