Mets, Byrdak Close To Extension

By Luke Adams 2 | September 18, 2011 at 10:53am CDT

The Mets are close to signing Tim Byrdak to an extension for 2012, reports Mike Silva of New York Baseball Digest. GM Sandy Alderson confirmed the contract talks to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York (Twitter link).

The 37-year-old Byrdak signed a minor league deal with the Mets prior to the 2011 season, and has enjoyed a very strong year for the club. In 36 2/3 innings (68 appearances), the left-hander has posted career bests in ERA (2.95) and K/9 (10.8).

Byrdak will earn about $1.2MM this season after incentives, and while Silva isn't sure about the terms the two sides are discussing for next year, he predicts that the deal will be for at least the same amount, if not more.

    This would be a solid move by the club. I think He has been everything feliciano was – with the exception of the 20-30 less appearances. He is also one of the best clubhouse guys on the team from what I hear

      “Now that the Mets have their big fish fried, they can focus on the little things like re-signing Jose Reyes.”

    The Mets bullpen has been such a revolving door I had no idea he was pitching this decent.
