NEW YORK -- The New York Mets have made a one-year, $15.8 million qualifying offer to free-agent infielder Daniel Murphy.
Murphy, 30, has until next Friday to accept or reject the Mets' offer.
The decision ensures the Mets will recoup a draft pick after the first round if Murphy signs elsewhere this offseason.
Mets officials portray it as very likely that Murphy has played his final game as a Met.
