Jerry Blevins showed enough in his small sample size with the New York Mets to earn a new contract.
The left-hander has agreed to a one-year deal with the Mets.
Matt Yallof of MLB Network's "The Rundown" reports Blevins will receive a base salary of $4 million.
Blevins confirmed the deal on Twitter.
Dear @Santa,
Thanks for the early Christmas present! I couldn't be happier to return to the @Mets.

The 32-year-old southpaw was stellar across seven April appearances, not allowing a hit or run before a line drive fractured his left forearm.

He re-fractured the same arm in August after tripping over a curb.
Blevins owns a 3.53 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across nine big-league seasons.
