According to FanRag Sport’s Jon Heyman, New York and lefty reliever Jerry Blevins have agreed to terms on a new contract. The New York Post’s Ken Davidoff also confirmed the signing and added that the deal is for a guaranteed $6 million.
As far back as November, the organization was convinced that Blevins would be walking away from the team and signing with a new club. As the market developed, and teams signed different quality relievers, the Mets and Blevins seemed destined to reunite.
Rumors came out that both parties would be willing to take a two-year deal, and that made it more likely that something could get worked out.
