The Mets have contract commitments of $15.85 million to five arbitration-eligible players who collectively earned $8.704 million last season.
Daniel Murphy, Bobby Parnell, Ike Davis, Eric Young Jr. and Ruben Tejada all avoided arbitration by reaching one-year agreements with the club. Murphy and Parnell received significant bumps.
But the contracts for Dillon Gee and Lucas Duda are still unresolved as the deadline passed to exchange salary figures. The parties could settle before Feb. 1, the first date for arbitration hearings.
