Mets could deem Ben Zobrist too costly

The Mets have interest in free agent IF/OF Ben Zobrist, but a source told Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News that the Mets might deem Zobrist too costly.

…a source who confirmed the Mets have reached out to the free agent cautioned that the market for the 34-year old utility man will be robust and may be too costly for the National League champions.

An industry source said Monday they expect Zobrist, coming off a World Series championship with the Royals, could command at least a three- or four-year deal worth $40 to $50 million.
