Mets Sign Capuano and Buchholz

                            ESPN New York

According to SNY's Kevin Burkhardt, the Mets have signed free-agent LHP Chris Capuano and RHP Taylor Buchholz to one-year contracts.

In order to make room for the two pitchers on the 40-man roster, the team designated RHP Ryota Igarashi for assignment.

Capuano, 32, went 4-4 with a 3.95 ERA in 24 appearances last year with the Brewers, including nine starts.  He missed the entire 2009 season recovering from his second Tommy John surgery.

Buchholz began the 2010 season on a rehab assignment, not making an appearance until July 24.  He was put on waivers and claimed by the Blue Jays in September.
