Marlon Byrd, who is enjoying a postseason run with the Pittsburgh Pirates, is open to returning to the New York Mets.

The Mets traded Byrd to the Pirates in late August.

"I've talked to Sandy [Alderson], I told him thank you for the opportunity at the beginning of the year and thank you for the opportunity to play for a winner," Byrd said of when he left the Mets. "I told him, 'If you want me back, I would love to come back.'"
