The Major League Baseball non-tender deadline for arbitration eligible players is Friday night at 8 p.m. ET. Players that aren’t tendered a contract will enter the free agent pool.

The New York Mets group of arbitration eligible players includes Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Zack Wheeler, Matt Harvey, Travis d’Arnaud, Wilmer Flores, Hansel Robles and AJ Ramos.

Mike Puma is reporting that the Mets aren’t expected to non-tender any of their arbitration eligible players.

Each year there are a few notable non-tenders that go on to have success the following season with Welington Castillo being the best example of that for this past season.

Here are a few non-tender candidates that could become assets and may interest the Mets:

Matt Adams, 1B

The Atlanta Braves are openly trying to deal the first baseman as the deadline looms. The 29-year-old hit .274/.319/.522 with 22 doubles, 20 home runs and 65 RBI between the Braves and St. Louis Cardinals in 2017. He’s been a solid defender (14 DRS in his career) at first and played 19 games in left field this past season.

Adams is projected to make $4.6 million through arbitration for the 2018 season and becomes a free agent after the season. The Mets have show interest this offseason in adding a potential first baseman that also can play the outfield.

Brock Holt, INF/OF

The versatile Holt is coming off a bad season for the Boston Red Sox in which he slashed only .200/.305/.243 and played in just 64 games due to injuries. The 29-year-old played first, second and third base as well as left field and right field this past season. He also has big league experience at shortstop and center field. His best defensive positions have been second (3 DRS), left (6 DRS) and right field (12) during his six seasons.

Holt posted a 2.1 WAR season in 2014, 2.6 WAR in 2015 when he was an All-Star and 1.2 WAR in 2016. He is expected to make $2 million in arbitration for 2018 and won’t become a free agent until after the 2019 season. The Mets are expected to go with an 8-man bullpen in 2018 so versatility will be important on the bench.

Hector Rondon, RHP

Rondon struggled with the home run ball in 2017 (1.6 HR/9) but set a career-high with 10.8 K/9 in 57.1 innings for the Chicago Cubs in 2017. He struggled though posting a 4.24 ERA, 4.12 FIP and 1.22 WHIP. His best season came in 2015 when he had a 1.67 ERA, 2.68 FIP, 2.2 WAR and 30 saves.

The right-hander is projected to make $5 million for the 2018 season, his last season of team control. Fastball velocity wasn’t a problem for Rondon in 2017 as he averaged 97 MPH on his fastball for the fourth straight year. The Mets are looking to add multiple relievers to their bullpen this offseason and Rondon could be a cheap bounce back candidate.

Tommy Koehler, RHP

There’s no getting around it, Koehler was brutal for the Miami Marlins in 2017 before they traded him in August to the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-hander had a 7.92 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and allowed 15 home runs 55.2 inning for the Marlins last year. He fared better for the Blue Jays after being switched to the bullpen with only five runs allowed in 17 innings (2.65 ERA) and 18 strikeouts (9.5 K/9).

Koehler saw a small jump in his fastball velo coming out of the pen and saw the slugging percentage on said fastball drop to .267 in September for the Jays. The 31-year-old Bronx native is projected to make $6 million through arbitration. Mets could see Koehler as a multiple inning piece in the bullpen where he had far more success in a small sample size.

Jeremy Jeffress, RHP

After three years as a solid reliever the right-hander struggled in 2017 with the Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers on the way to a 4.68 ERA, 5.24 FIP and 1.64 WHIP. Prior to 2017, Jeffress had ERA’s of 2.81, 2.65 and 2.33 in his previous three seasons.

The reasons for his struggles in 2017 were a career-high 1.38 HR/9 and his walk rate jumping from 2.79 BB/9 in 2016 up to 4.68 BB/9 in 2017. Jeffress is expected to make $2.6 million through arbitration for the 2018 season. The Mets have shown interest in the past during trade deadlines.

The other interesting names that could be non-tendered are Angels first baseman C.J. Cron, Cubs reliever Justin Grimm, Angels reliever Blake Wood, Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal, Astros catcher Evan Gattis and Astros pitcher Mike Fiers.
