Sounds like the Mets had Zobrist and O'Day as the top two guys on their wishlist but never expected both would command 4-year offers for multiple teams, so now they're likely out on both players.

Can understand not committing 4 years to Zobrist. A lot of money and time to pump into an everyday player about to enter his age 35 season and who is good at a lot of things but doesn't have any "can't miss" qualities to him.

O'Day though? Fuck it, I'd give him the 4th year guaranteed. I've seen little to suggest he's going to fall off a cliff. 3 years from him on par to what he's done of late makes a possibly bad 4th year worth it I think.
