Michael Cuddyer likely just disappeared from Mets’ radar

One potential free-agent option for the Mets all but disappeared Monday, when Michael Cuddyer received a qualifying offer from the Rockies.

The move caught Mets officials, and much of MLB, by surprise. By extending the one-year offer worth $15.3 million, the Rockies would be required to receive draft-pick compensation from any team that signs Cuddyer, and the Mets view that as a severe deterrent in this case, according to an industry source.

Unlike in 2014, the Mets' top draft pick for next season is not protected. It means the Mets would surrender the 15th-overall pick in the 2015 draft if they were to sign the 35-year-old Cuddyer.
The Mets viewed Cuddyer as a potential short-term solution to join Juan Lagares and Curtis Granderson in the outfield.

With Cuddyer likely eliminated from the mix, the Mets will monitor free-agent options such as Alex Rios, Colby Rasmus and Michael Morse.

There is some thought Cuddyer, who hit .332 with 10 homers and 31 RBIs in 49 games last season in a year plagued by injuries, might accept the Rockies' qualifying offer to ensure he won't be in limbo heading into 2015.
