The New York Mets announced Tuesday they re-signed relief pitcher Jerry Blevins to a one-year contract.
Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reported Blevins' fresh deal is worth $4 million with another $1 million in incentives. The 32-year-old southpaw went with a holiday theme to celebrate his renewed stay in the Big Apple:
Dear @Santa, Thanks for the early Christmas present! I couldn't be happier to return to the @Mets.

Blevins appeared in only seven games this past season because of a distal radius bone fracture he suffered when he was struck by a line drive on April 19 against the Miami Marlins.
