Mets Sign RHP Aaron Harang

Former 16 game winner Aaron Harang has been signed by the New York Mets to a minor league contract. The Mets have been continuing to sign former solid pitchers, to try and determine who will be in the 2014 pitching staff. He is expected to join the rotation before the end of the season, according to Adam Rubin of ESPN, and is expected to help the Las Vegas 51s (Mets Triple-A)  throughout the playoffs. 

3 likely reasons: Plan to use a sixth starter down the stretch, concern about Dice-K and need help with Las Vegas to finish playoffs.
