Ryan Stanek agrees to deal with Cardinals after rough 2025 with Mets

Ryne Stanek has found himself a new home after a disappointing season with the Mets.

Stanek, 34, agreed to a contract with the Cardinals on Friday, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.

Details of the contract have yet to be confirmed, and the deal is still pending a physical, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.

Stanek hit free agency back in November following a roller-coaster year and a half in Queens after the Mets acquired him from the Mariners at the 2024 trade deadline.

After having a shaky second half of the ’24 season with the Mets, Stanek was a solid bullpen presence for the team’s playoff run, posting a 3.38 ERA and eight strikeouts across seven appearances, leading president David Stearns to bring the righty back on a one-year deal worth $4.5 million for ’25.

Stanek’s season did not go as planned, however, with the reliever posting a 5.30 ERA and 32 walks with some exceptionally rough stretches in the second half.

In August, Stanek had an abysmal 12.38 ERA in 10 appearances, with opposing batters hitting .324 off the former first-round draft selection.

Following the season, Stanek told The Post how he received tons of hateful messages due to his poor play in Queens, arguing that sports gambling played a role in the troubling comments.

“I get death threats all the time — every day,” Stanek told The Post in November. “It’s not anything that every baseball player doesn’t deal with all the time. Like, ‘You cost me my parlay, I hope your family dies.’

“Gambling in baseball is doing nothing but making the day-to-day lives of players substantially worse. It’s just people that recklessly bet their money on just anything that they can and if you mess up their bad life choice, you’re the problem and you should die.”
