The Mets amplified one-year, $17.2 million qualifying offers to outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and second baseman Neil Walker in front of Monday's 5 p.m. Eastern due date.
Cespedes and Walker will now have until Nov. 14 to acknowledge or decrease the offer. On the off chance that both Cespedes and Walker turn down their qualifying offers and sign somewhere else, the Mets would get a couple of supplementary first-round draft picks one year from now.
Cespedes practiced the quit proviso in his agreement with the Mets on Saturday, swearing off the rest of the $47.5 million more than two years keeping in mind the end goal to end up a free operator. The 31-year-old Cuban slugger batted .280 and drove the Mets with 31 homers and 86 RBI in 2016.
That Cespedes will decrease the Mets' qualifying offer is a given — he earned $27.5 million this past season and could conceivably order a multi-year contract worth upwards of $100 million this winter as the market's chief power-hitting outfielder. The Mets would at present have a few outfield alternatives if Cespedes withdraws, as Curtis Granderson, Jay Bruce, Michael Conforto, Juan Lagares and Brandon Nimmo are all under group control in 2017, however they would need to discover approaches to supplant Cespedes' creation and right-given pop.

Familia was captured on an aggressive behavior at home charge on Oct. 31.
Walker, 31, hit .282 with a vocation high-coordinating 23 homers and 55 RBI in his first season with the Mets. The switch-hitting infielder was procured from the Pittsburgh Pirates last December in return for left-hander Jon Niese and ended up being an important offseason pickup, however his season was stopped after he experienced surgery to repair a herniated plate in his lower back in September. The method requires a three-month recovery, and Walker said he hopes to resume typical baseball action by December.
While Walker is slated to hit free office without precedent for his profession, the way that he's returning off surgery could drive away a few groups and discourage his market. Given these conditions, Walker could conceivably acknowledge the Mets' qualifying offer and demonstrate he's solid before endeavoring to take advantage of a greater free-operator bargain next winter.
Prior to the damage, general supervisor Sandy Alderson had said he wanted to connect with Walker's delegates keeping in mind the end goal to gage their enthusiasm for a conceivable contract expansion, however it's vague if those discussions ever occurred. The Mets do have a measure of inside profundity at a respectable halfway point, with Wilmer Flores, Jose Reyes and T.J. Rivera all fit for keeping an eye on the position.
