Stroman wrote on Twitter that he is accepting the Mets’ one-year qualifying offer of $18.9 million, keeping him in Flushing after he opted out of the 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns.

“After watching the presser, I’m beyond excited to play for you sir. I could feel the excitement and passion you’re going to bring daily. Let’s go be great! @StevenACohen2,” Stroman wrote.

Stroman, 29, was acquired by since-fired Brodie Van Wagenen in a 2019 trade with the Blue Jays. In 11 starts with the Mets that year, the Long Island native had a 3.77 ERA.

Cohen seems thrilled with Stroman’s decision.

“Marcus, That is great news,” Cohen wrote on Twitter. “Looking forward to meeting you soon. I will call you over the next few days to thank you.”

Stroman will rejoin a Mets rotation that features Jacob deGrom and David Peterson. Noah Syndergaard is recovering from Tommy John surgery.
