arbitration 2019

[smg58]

MLB Trade Rumors just posted its projected arbitration salaries. Here are the predictions for the Mets:

Mets (9)

Jacob deGrom – $12.9MM
Noah Syndergaard – $5.9MM
Zack Wheeler – $5.3MM
Wilmer Flores – $4.7MM
Michael Conforto – $4.4MM
Travis d’Arnaud – $3.7MM
Steven Matz – $3.0MM
Kevin Plawecki – $1.3MM
Rafael Montero – $900K

I'd be surprised if d'Arnaud and Montero get tendered offers. Flores is on the bubble at that price, especially with the arthritis diagnosis. DeGrom and Wheeler could be offered more than that up front in order to lock them up long-term. The others, I think, can wait.
