Pitcher Rafael Montero is headed to The Bronx.
The once-coveted Mets prospect has agreed to a minor league deal with the Bronx Bombers, according to The Post’s Jon Heyman and Greg Joyce.
Montero, 35, signed with the Mets organization as an international free agent, making his big league debut in 2014.

His best season came in 2022 with an Astros team that won the World Series, as he recorded a 2.37 ERA in 71 games.
He held a 2.86 over 20 games after getting to the Tigers at the deadline last season.
