The New York Mets added a veteran arm to their bullpen on Friday, acquiring right-hander Ryne Stanek from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for outfield prospect Rhylan Thomas.

Stanek, who turned 33 on Friday, is 6-3 with a 4.38 ERA in 39 innings this season, posting seven saves over 46 relief appearances.

A first-round pick (No. 29 overall) of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013, Stanek is 16-17 with a 3.54 ERA and 11 saves in 384 games (56 starts) over eight major league seasons. Before joining the Mariners this season, he played for the Rays (2017-19), Miami Marlins (2019-20) and Houston Astros (2021-23).

Thomas, 24, entered the 2024 season as the Mets’ No. 30 prospect, per MLBPipeline.com. In 74 games with Triple-A Syracuse and Double-A Binghamton, he is hitting .265 with 19 doubles, five homers, 11 stolen bases and 31 RBIs.
