The Mets picked up the 2010 option on Mike Pelfrey yesterday and officially declined their option on reliever J.J. Putz.
Pelfrey’s contract expired after this season, but the Mets were able to bring him back for just $500,000 because he is not arbitration-eligible until 2011. Putz was bought out for $1 million because the Mets considered him too much of an injury risk to pick up his $9.1 million option.
Meanwhile, infielders Alex Cora and Ramon Martinez were the two latest Mets to file for the free agency. The signing window opens Nov. 20. They joined Carlos Delgado and Brian Schneider, who filed Thursday.
The Mets have indicated they would like to re-sign Cora, who was a valuable veteran addition last season.
