Mets signed LHP Tim Byrdak to a one-year extension. Financial details have not been disclosed, but the deal is confirmed. Byrdak, who signed a minor league deal with the Mets prior to the season, has had a nice year, posting a 2.95 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 68 appearances. He's been especially tough against lefties, limiting them to a .204/.257/.323 slash line. The 37-year-old should resume a left-handed specialist role in next year's bullpen.
