Walker should consider taking the QO. It could open the door to substantive extension talks and at worst guarantees him a year at higher AAV.

I think Walker will take the offer, but if he doesn’t. I can see the mets looking at Brandon Philips if the reds are willing to eat some salary. Reyes as a everyday second basemen isn’t that bad ether. If Walker doesn’t accept the QO I’ll let him go and get the pick. The Mets can’t lose in this spot unless Walker is unhealthy.

Phillips could be a good transition to Rivera or somebody lower in the system taking over the job in 2018. 2015 Phillips would be perfectly acceptable, if he can get back to that level.

I’m surprised with Mets giving Walker a QA in the first place, but with trading Hererra in the Bruce trade I guess they had no choice. Phillips would be a good second choice. I can’t see Walker not taking the offer, it’s 17 plus million.

I had this surgery and with aggressive rehab he could probably hit by spring but I can;’t imagine that he could EVER play 2B again. It might be the worst position for him to play. He really needs to move to RF or 1B immediately.

Mets will stay within their system should walker not accept the offer. I don’t see them trading for Phillips. They have Reyes, Flores, Rivera, Gavin, Rosario, Reynolds all available and readily if not near ready for cheap replacements who not all but some can play decently at the major league level. No need to trade. Main priority should be cespedes. Lock him up and all else falls into place. Last year on the run all they had was cespedes and Cabrera hitting with triple a pitchers and Noah. It was enough for a nice run. They are an interestingly set up team. If pitchers are healthy and if they have a bat in cespedes they should be fine. Plus they will have Duda back and grandy lower in the lineup with Reyes at leadoff. I think cespedes is key

The Mets want the draft pick.
