Mets Re-Sign Reliever Ryne Stanek to One-Year Deal
The veteran pitcher returns to New York, reinforcing a bullpen strengthened by recent offseason acquisitions.
- Ryne Stanek, 33, has agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Mets, though financial terms were not disclosed.
- Stanek, acquired by the Mets from the Mariners in a midseason trade last year, posted a 6.06 ERA in 17 regular-season appearances but excelled in the postseason with a 3.38 ERA over seven games.
- The hard-throwing right-hander has a career 3.65 ERA in 401 regular-season games and a 2.89 ERA in 30 postseason appearances, including a key role in the Astros' 2022 World Series victory.
- Stanek joins a revamped Mets bullpen that recently added left-handed reliever A.J. Minter and right-hander Austin Warren to complement closer Edwin Díaz.
- The Mets continue to reshape their roster after signing star free agent Juan Soto earlier this offseason, though the future of free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso remains uncertain.
