Ryne Stanek Drawing Interest from Several Clubs
Free agent relief pitcher Ryne Stanek is drawing interest from several clubs on the open market, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Feinsand noted that much of the interest is coming from the National League Central. Last summer, Stanek spent his entire season with the Mets and logged 56 innings to the tune of a 5.30 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP. He struck out 58 hitters but showed weak command, posting a high 12.5% walk rate. He also allowed hard contact at a high 43.6% rate, which placed him in the 23rd percentile among qualified pitchers. If the 34-year-old were to find a suitor, managers should expect to open the season in a middle relief role. However, he could eventually earn an opportunity in the later innings, as he tallied 11 holds and three saves with the Mets last season.
