They signed right-handed journeyman Mike Baumann to a minor-league contract, The Post Jon Heyman reported.

The 30-year-old Baumann spent last season with Nippon Professional Baseball’s Tokyo Yakult Swallows. The year before, he split his time with the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, and Miami Marlins.

In 58.1 innings across 57 games, Baumann went 3-1 with a 5.55 ERA and 1.49 WHIP.
