Right-hander Dylan Bundy finally found a home, signing a minor league deal with the New York Mets on Saturday.

After he had his club option bought out by the Minnesota Twins this past offseason, Bundy went unsigned through spring training but now will be a starter in waiting for a veteran Mets staff.

Bundy, 30, went 8-8 with a 4.89 ERA in 29 starts for the Twins last season. In eight seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Angels and Twins, he is 54-65 with a 4.74 ERA in 190 outings (162 starts).

Bundy now will need time to build up his innings either at extended spring training or on a minor league assignment.

The Mets’ staff has veterans like Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Carlos Carrasco and Jose Quintana, with Quintana out for most of the first half with a rib injury.
