The New York Mets are bringing back reliever RHP Ryne Stanek to a one-year deal for $4.5 million.

Stanek came over to the Mets last year at the trading deadline in July for outfield prospect Rhylan Thomas.

Stanek struggled in the regular season with a 6.06 ERA in 17 appearances, but was able to turn it around in the postseason.

He had a 3.38 ERA in 7 games and was the most reliable option outside of Edwin Diaz and even closed out three of the games he pitched.

Stanek is known for his postseason success with a 2.98 ERA in 28 playoff innings and will hopefully have more opportunities to pitch in the playoffs this season.
