Mets sign Robert Stock to one-year major league contract

The New York Mets have announced the signing of right-handed pitcher Robert Stock to a one-year major league contract. The 36-year-old previously spent three years playing in international leagues and underwent thoracic outlet surgery before earning a major league opportunity last season. Stock made eight appearances with the Mets, compiling a 5.93 ERA and a 3.92 FIP across 30.1 innings.

Stock brings veteran pitching depth and versatility to the Mets' roster for manager Andy Green, who previously managed him with the San Diego Padres in 2018. Linus Lawrence notes that Stock can serve as emergency rotation depth or operate in a multi-inning relief role behind a young pitching staff.
