New York right-hander Matt Harvey avoided arbitration with the Mets on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.325 million deal.

It represents a huge raise for Harvey, who made $614,000 last season while going 13-8 with a 2.71 ERA in his return from Tommy John elbow surgery.

Harvey, who helped the Mets reach the World Series, isn’t eligible for free agency until after the 2018 season.

New York also reached one-year deals with right-hander Addison Reed ($5.3 million), shortstop Ruben Tejada ($3 million), right-hander Carlos Torres ($1.05 million) and left-hander Josh Edgin ($625,000).

Closer Jeurys Familia and first baseman Lucas Duda are headed to arbitration after the two sides were unable to agree to a deal.
