The Mets think Cabrera, with his sure hands, could be better defensively at third, where his range wouldn't be as much of an issue, and they love his intangibles, so maybe they'll squeeze another year out of him.

As for the outfield, Granderson will be gone and Bruce probably so, if the Mets think Nimmo can be productive as an everyday outfielder. That would be $28 million off the books, but remember, ownership wanted Bruce's $13 million gone, via trade, for this year.
