Mets boost bullpen, sign righty Wise

The Mets bolstered their bullpen Tuesday, agreeing with right-hander Matt Wise on a $1.2 million, one-year contract. Wise was 3-2 with a 4.19 ERA and one save in a career-high 56 appearances for the Milwaukee Brewers this season. He struck out 43 and walked 17 in 53 2/3 innings.

The 32-year-old Wise is 17-21 with a 4.18 ERA and two saves in 201 major league games. He also pitched for the Anaheim Angels from 2000-02.

He joins a Mets bullpen anchored by All-Star closer Billy Wagner and setup man Aaron Heilman. New York also hopes to get right-hander Duaner Sanchez back from a shoulder injury next season. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since July 2006.
