The Mets have roughly $92 million in payroll commitments for 2016, according to ESPN reporter Adam Rubin’s math (Nov. 3).
The number does not include Daniel Murphy, Yoenis Cespedes, Tyler Clippard, Bartolo Colon, Kelly Johnson, Jeremy Blevins, Eric O’Flaherty, Bobby Parnell and Juan Uribe, all of whom filed for free agency earlier this week.
According to SpotRac.com, Sandy Alderson’s $120 million payroll ranked 15 out of 30 teams by the end of 2015 (Nov. 4). The Royals, who won the World Series, were No. 14 with $125 million.
In 2015, the Mets had the second-most expensive infield in baseball, 11th-most expensive outfield, and the 18th-most expensive pitching staff.
The Mets currently have 11 players eligible for salary arbitration, including Matt Harvey, Lucas Duda and Jeurys Familia.
MLB Trade Rumors projects Harvey, who is earning $614,625 this season and won’t be eligible for free agency until 2019, to earn $4.7 million through arbitration. Duda is projected to earn $6.8 million and Familia is projected to earn $3.3 million. The trio combined to earn just $5.5 million in 2015.
Eric Young Jr., Buddy Carlyle, Ruben Tejada, Addison Reed, Carlos Torres, Anthony Recker, Jenrry Mejia and Josh Edgin are all also eligible for arbitration.
