NEW YORK — Right-hander Ryne Stanek was acquired by the Mets from the Seattle Mariners for minor league outfielder Rhylan Thomas in a move by New York to bolster its bullpen. Stanek, who turned 33 Friday, was 6-3 with a 4.38 ERA and seven saves for the Mariners but struggled over his last nine outings, going 1-2 with a 6.45 ERA and two blown saves. He was dealt hours after Seattle acquired Yimi García from Toronto. Mets pitchers Drew Smith and Brooks Raley are out for the season after Tommy John surgery.
