Mets' Zack Jones: Latches on with Mets
Jones agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mets on Friday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
Jones appeared in 17 games a season ago in Minnesota's farm system, posting a 2.49 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 39 strikeouts over 25.1 frames at Double-A Chattanooga. He's yet to reach the big leagues over his seven-year career, but he did advance to Triple-A during the 2016 season. Given his success from a year ago, Jones appears on track to begin the 2019 campaign back at Triple-A.

Brewers' Zack Jones: Progressing well from shoulder injury
Jones (shoulder) said Wednesday's bullpen session went "great" and he will throw one more bullpen before progressing to live batting practice and then game action, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt reports.
The Rule 5 pick appears to be a little over a week away from getting into games this spring, so he will still have a chance to make the roster out of camp. That said, the Brewers have some more established options competing for spots at the back of the bullpen, so Jones would likely start as a middle reliever if he earns a spot on the 25-man roster.
