NEW YORK -- Canadian pitcher-turned-outfielder Adam Loewen has agreed to a minor league contract with the New York Mets.
The 27-year-old from Surrey, B.C., was outrighted off the Toronto Blue Jays' 40-man roster on Nov. 3 and will attend spring training with the Mets under Tuesday's deal.
Loewen was 6-for-32 (.188) for Toronto last season with one home run and four RBIs. He hit .306 at triple-A Las Vegas of the Pacific Coast League with 46 doubles, 17 homers and 85 RBIs.
Loewen was 8-8 with a 5.38 earned-run average in 29 starts and six relief appearances for the Baltimore Orioles from 2006-09.
