NEW YORK — The New York Mets have reached an agreement with free-agent reliever Dellin Betances on a one-year contract with a player option for 2021.

The Mets announced the deal Tuesday. The four-time All Star is guaranteed $10.5 million under the deal.

The 31-year-old right-hander, who is from New York, is staying in his hometown after spending his first eight seasons with the Yankees.

Betances missed most of 2019 because of injuries. He tore an Achilles tendon in his first appearance back from a lat injury that had sidelined him.

Betances was the first reliever in baseball history to have 100 or more strikeouts in five consecutive seasons (2014-2018).
