The Mets are acquiring Ryne Stanek from the Mariners, reports Andy Martino of SNY (X link). Rhylan Thomas is going back to Seattle, Martino adds.
Stanek, who turns 33 today, has worked in generally high-leverage spots for Seattle. His performance has been uneven. Stanek owns a 4.38 ERA across 39 innings spanning 46 appearances. He has fanned an above-average 25.9% of opponents while walking nearly 10% of batters faced. It’s a reasonable enough strikeout and walk profile, but Stanek has fallen on hard times of late. He has allowed five runs over 5 2/3 frames this month, giving up a pair of homers and issuing six walks in the process.
More to come.
