If he fails the physical for the Mets, then his market will be extremely limited. The Sox offered him arbitration so that if he did sign with another team they would get a sandwich pick in the upcoming draft from the team that signs him. What this means is he could go to arbitration with the sox and based on his last years salary of 17.5 M he could win the arbitration and end up coming back for a year at around 19M!!! I hope he passes the physical because he'll still act like a spoiled kid.
