The Mets announced Tuesday that they had re-signed reliever Jerry Blevins, whose 2015 season was cut short by injuries, to a one-year deal. He is likely to enter next season as the team’s left-handed specialist, a position they lacked this year.
After the Mets acquired Blevins in a spring training trade with the Washington Nationals, he appeared in seven games and retired all 15 batters he faced, striking out four, before he broke his left forearm on a line drive. A few months later, during his recovery, he slipped off a curb and rebroke the arm, ending his season.
