Thursday is the deadline for teams and players to propose salaries in arbitration. If an agreement isn’t reached, the two sides will go to a hearing before spring training to determine the player’s salary for 2026.
The Mets had seven players eligible for arbitration, and they have agreed to terms with all of them. Below are the figures for each player and what they were projected to earn:
- David Peterson: $8.1 million ($7.64 million projected)
- Tyrone Taylor: $3.8 million ($3.64 million projected)
- Huascar Brazobán: $1.05 million ($1.3 million projected)
- Reed Garrett: $1.3 million ($1.4 million projected)
- Tylor Megill: $2.5 million ($2.6 million projected)
- Francisco Alvarez: $2.4 million ($2.4 million projected)
- Luis Torrens: $2.275 million ($2.2 million projected)
Peterson, Taylor and Torrens are all in their final year of arbitration and can hit free agency following the 2026 season. Megill is in his second year, while Brazobán, Garrett and Alvarez are all in their first year of the process. Megill and Garrett are both expected to miss the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
