Pitcher Jerry Blevins is staying with the New York Mets, agreeing to a one-year contract that guarantees him $4 million and allows him to earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses. The 32-year-old left-hander was acquired from Washington on March 30 and appeared in seven games, retiring all 15 batters he faced - all but one a left-handed hitter. Blevins is 16-9 with two saves and a 3.53 ERA in nine big league seasons with Oakland, Washington and the Mets.
