NEW YORK — The Mets continued their bullpen fortification on Friday with another trade addition, acquiring right-hander Ryne Stanek from the Mariners for their 30th-ranked prospect, outfielder Rhylan Thomas. Stanek comes to the team 2 1/2 weeks after the Mets acquired Phil Maton from the Rays.

An eight-year veteran of four teams, Stanek produced a 4.38 ERA over 46 appearances with Seattle, striking out 44 batters over 39 innings. He’s one of the game’s hardest throwers, topping out at 101 mph this season and routinely throwing in the upper 90s. That makes him the polar opposite of Maton, who survives — and often thrives — despite a lack of top-end velocity. Stanek also features a slider and splitter, both of which are out pitches for him.
