Blevins and Cabrera

Jon Heyman says:

The Mets will pick up the $6.5 million option on reliever Jerry Blevins, which has been expected. They still seem to be weighing whether to do the same with Asdrubal Cabrera’s $8.5 million option (as opposed to the $2 million buyout), but considering concerns about David Wright and whether he’ll be able to play third base (Cabrera was more than adequate in his absence), it is believed that it’s more likely than not they will pick that one up, too (but it isn’t quite a given).

Good. Blevins pitched like a star last season. Not like Paul Sewald.

We need at least two more relievers and one more infielder even if we bring both Blevins and Cabrera back, so picking up both options strikes me as a no-brainer.

Well, they may sense there's a deal or two out there that they like better.
