Asdrubal Cabrera could be free-agent test case next season

Asdrubal Cabrera

PHILADELPHIA — What could Asdrubal Cabrera do to boost his market this coming winter?

He seems determined to find out.

Oh, Cabrera won’t discuss this much.

“I don’t want to think about it,” he said Saturday at Citizens Bank Park, before the Mets’ game against the Phillies was postponed, and then he reiterated: “I don’t want to think about it. I just come here to do my job, and after the season, we’ll see.”

Yet the 32-year-old is off to the sort of start that, if sustained even partially, can challenge the conventions established during last winter’s free-agent drought.
