The Mets' other arbitration-eligible players are starting pitcher Matt Harvey, closer Jeurys Familia, first baseman Lucas Duda, and relievers Carlos Torres and Josh Edgin.
Projections from MLB Trade Rumors and an ESPN New York study indicate that tendering all eight of their arbitration-eligible players will cost the Mets roughly $27 million. Tack on $60 million worth of guaranteed contracts for David Wright, Curtis Granderson, Jon Niese, Michael Cuddyer and Juan Lagares, plus at least another $6 million in near-minimum salaries for pre-arbitration players, and the Mets are staring at an effective payroll of around $93 million.
