The Yankees may have Aaron Judge as a free agent. The Dodgers may have Trea Turner and Clayton Kershaw plus Tyler Anderson to worry about.

But the Mets are the only team that will seriously contemplate — and likely give — the qualifying offer to as many as four players: Chris Bassitt, Jacob deGrom, Edwin Diaz and Brandon Nimmo. The only question there involves Bassitt. But if the Mets are fine picking up their end of a $19 million mutual option for 2023, then they won’t blink in making him the $19.65 million qualifying offer when Bassitt turns down his side of the option.

If the Mets’ only issue were dealing with the financially weighty part of their offseason, that would be challenging enough. Because there is no way they can keep their four main free agents plus fill out the rest of the roster and stay within the parameters of a $300 million payroll, which Steve Cohen indicated was his plan several weeks ago on “The Show with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman” podcast.

But this is far from the Mets’ lone issue. There are compounding matters. For instance, it is not just Bassitt and deGrom who are free agents in their rotation, but Taijuan Walker and perhaps Carlos Carrasco, too, if the Mets find his physical review too troubling to pick up a $14 million 2023 option (it is really an $11 million decision because there is a $3 million buyout). It is not just Diaz who is a free agent in the bullpen. It is Seth Lugo, Trevor May, Adam Ottavino, Joely Rodriguez and Trevor Williams, too, plus Mychal Givens when the Mets reject their end of an $8 million 2023 mutual option. And then there’s the fact the Mets would love to find power bats in the marketplace.
