According to MLB rules, Daniel Murphy has until Friday to accept or reject a one-year, $15.8 million qualifying offer from the Mets.
Murphy’s decision will help guide the team’s offseason plan, assistant GM John Ricco said Thursday (Nov. 12, 2015).
In the event he declines, the Mets can still negotiate with him, but it would give bring them a compensatory draft pick if Murphy ends up signing with a new team.
In two years of using this system, no player has ever accepted a qualifying offer.
Murphy earned $8 million this past season, which was his final year of salary arbitration. He is expected to be offered three- to four-year deals, worth around $12-15 million a season, according to MetsBlog’s Matthew Cerrone (Nov. 12, 2015).
The Dodgers, Giants, Rockies, Angels, Yankees and Royals, among other teams, are all rumored to have interest in acquiring him this winter.
