The Mets' super-charged, rollercoaster of an offseason was full of buzz and short on breaks.

Veteran Jay Bruce, who hit .198 with six home runs and 14 RBIs for the Phillies last season, has reached a minor league deal with the Yankees and will try to win an outfield job at spring training.

Veteran pitchers Rich Hill, 40, and Collin McHugh, 33, have both reached one-year deals with the Rays, according to reports. Hill is 67-44 with a 3.79 ERA over his career, while McHugh is 58-43 with a 3.95 ERA.
