Neil Walker To Accept Qualifying Offer

New York Mets 2B Neil Walker has accepted the Mets qualifying offer for $17.2 million. This ensures that the Mets infield is set for next year and can now focus on resigning OF Yoenis Cespedes. With Walker coming back, IF Wilmer Flores and IF TJ Rivera will serve as valuable utility players off of the bench. This is a great situation for the Mets since Walker was the team's second best hitter last year behind Cespedes and gave them another powerful bat in the middle of the order. He will play a key role next year due to his solid glove in the field and much needed offense.
