Mets purchased the contract of catcher Taylor Teagarden from Triple-A Las Vegas. The 30-year-old Teagarden hasn't hit in the majors since 2008, but he was at .279/.402/.548 with eight homers in 104 at-bats for Triple-A Las Vegas this season, earning him another chance. He'll likely back up Anthony Recker initially, but if he gets off to a quick start, he could take over the job.
