The Mets and RHP Mike Pelfrey avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $5.675 million contract.
Pelfrey registered a disappointing 4.74 ERA and 105/65 K/BB ratio across 193 2/3 innings last year. He’s set to become a free agent following the 2012 season.

Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports that the Mets have listened to offers for Mike Pelfrey but were “underwhelmed” by what teams were willing to offer.
They must have have been thoroughly lackluster offers given that Pelfrey is coming off a season where he posted a 4.74 ERA and 1.47 WHIP and is set to make as much as $6 million through arbitration. The right-hander is set to become a free agent following the 2012 season.

Mike Pelfrey’s agent Scott Boras said Monday that he fully expects the Mets to tender his client a contract for 2012.
Not a shocker. While Pelfrey is due between $5-6 million in his final year of arbitration and can be frustrating to watch on the mound, the Mets value him as an innings-eater. The 27-year-old right-hander posted an underwhelming 4.74 ERA in 2011, but has pitched at least 184 1/3 innings each of the last four seasons. Count on him being a part of the rotation in 2012.
