Mets re-sign ex-Red Sox, Padres reliever who finished season in the rotation
The Mets have re-signed a 36-year-old pitcher.
The New York Mets have re-signed reliever Robert Stock, a former player for the Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres, according to ESPN's Jorge Castillo. Stock, 36, signed a one-year major league deal with the Mets. Prior to his stint with the Mets, Stock made seven starts and one relief appearance for the team, posting a 5.93 ERA, 29 strikeouts, and 15 walks in 30.1 innings.
He underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome in March but returned to pitching in June. Stock, a 2009 second-round draft pick, has pitched in parts of six Major League seasons, with his best season coming in 2021 when he played for the Chicago Cubs. He is projected to serve as a long reliever or mop-up man for the Mets if he starts the 2026 season with the team.
