Mets Notes: Qualls, Pelfrey, Pagan, Wright

The latest on the Mets, as they prepare for the post-Jose Reyes era...

• Chad Qualls is one of many relievers the Mets have inquired on, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
• GM Sandy Alderson told reporters, including ESPN New York's Adam Rubin, that he expects the team's 2012 payroll to be about $100MM. If the team tenders contracts to Mike Pelfrey and Angel Pagan, that would leave about $10-15MM to spend.
• Alderson on Pelfrey and Pagan: "I've said over the last few weeks they may be very good investments for us given the other options and the fact they're players with upside going into the season and players who would probably be on one-year contracts."
• David Wright's status was never linked to Reyes' status, according to the GM, meaning that even though Reyes is signing elsewhere, the team doesn't intend to trade Wright and launch an all-out rebuild.
