As expected, the Mets made a qualifying offer to Daniel Murphy on Friday. Now Murphy has a week to decide whether to take the $15.8 million to play for the Mets in 2016.
Following his strong post-season, Murphy is likely in line for a much bigger payday. Murphy’s agents will spend the next feeling out other teams to gauge interest in his client. If it is strong, he will probably reject the offer.,
Of course, there is always the chance interest will be light, or maybe Murphy just really likes playing for the Mets, so he would take the offer.
