Well-traveled right-hander Brian Bruney will join his third team so far this season. Newsday's David Lennon reports (via Twitter) that the Mets have signed Bruney to a minor league deal.
The Nationals acquired the 28-year-old over the winter from the Yankees, but released him in May after 19 unimpressive appearances. Bruney then signed with the Brewers, but failed to crack their big league roster during his three weeks in the organization, and was released ten days ago. In 21 IP between the majors and minors for the Nats and Brewers this season, the righty has walked exactly a batter per inning.

Interesting if he ever gets called up how he and K-Rod are going to get along after last year

Sounds like triple A filler

Bruney is garbage……they should be focusing on Lee and Soria…..but again its 30 days till the deadline
diehardmets
Why do they need Soria?
davidwright1234
the mets bullpen is over worked and they need to get someone reliable in there

why soria…he would cost a lot….and is a closer
guydavis
yeah, on second thought, let’s get soria

They should focus on Mauer, too, since Barajas has cooled off.

Wasnt Bruney like the Yankees 2nd best arm in the pen like 2-3 years ago?
icedrake523
Until he went back to pitching like Brian Bruney (ie horrendous K/BB)

Nats signed El Duque; Mets signed Bruney. We’re down in MLB, but we’re gaining on you in the International League!!!
