Don’t look at the New York Mets payroll right now and assume they have a lot of money to spend. This winter, several key players on the roster are projected to receive big salary bumps through the arbitration process.
Every year, MLB Trade Rumors puts together their list of arbitration-eligible players and what they expect them to earn. Nine members of the Mets are eligible for it with a total of $53.1 million projected to land on their paychecks.
The largest sum will go to Marcus Stroman who is in the last year before free agency.
