After eliminating Michael Cuddyer from their list of potential free-agent pursuits, the Mets still have other outfield targets they may consider.

Michael Morse is one such name who fits the Mets’ criteria, according to a person with knowledge of the club’s internal discussions.

The 32-year-old had a slash line of .279/.336/.475 with 16 homers and 61 RBIs in 438 at-bats for the Giants in 2014 and was a key contributor in the World Series.

If there is a concern, it’s about Morse’s health history. He hasn’t played a full season since 2011, when he had a breakout year for the Nationals, and there are questions if he still can handle the grind of playing the outfield on a regular basis.

“You worry about his legs,” said a major league talent evaluator, who has watched Morse over the past several seasons.

Morse is more attractive to the Mets than options like Cuddyer and Melky Cabrera because the club would not have to surrender a draft pick to sign him.

The 35-year-old Cuddyer was on the Mets’ radar until Monday, when the Rockies extended him a qualifying offer ($15.3 million for 2015), meaning a team that signs him would have to forfeit a draft pick. The Mets would have to surrender their first-round selection (15th overall) for next season, because that pick is not protected.

Last year, Curtis Granderson was extended a qualifying offer by the Yankees, but the Mets’ first-round pick was protected based on the club’s 74-88 record in 2013. The Mets signed Granderson to a four-year deal worth $60 million and only had to forfeit a second-round pick. The Mets used their first-round selection (10th overall) on Oregon State outfielder Michael Conforto.

If the Mets go the trade route to fill a corner-outfield spot, they could consider a deal with the Red Sox, who may look to move Yoenis Cespedes. But such a trade likely would require the Mets dealing a young pitcher such as Noah Syndergaard or Zack Wheeler to a Red Sox team that covets power arms.

The Mets likely would try to get Morse on a one-year deal, but in this thin market he conceivably could get a second year. The Giants signed Morse last winter to a one-year contract worth $6 million. Morse began his major league career with the Mariners in 2005 and also has spent time with the Nationals and Orioles.

His best season came in 2011, when he had a .303/.360/.550 slash line with 31 homers and 95 RBIs for the Nationals.

In this year’s postseason, he returned from an oblique injury that had kept him sidelined since August and went 2-for-4 with a homer in the NLCS before going 4-for-16 (.250) with four RBIs in the World Series against the Royals. *

The Mets still are compiling a list of potential candidates for assistant hitting coach, according to a club source, but may change the job description to include coaching responsibilities other than working with the hitters.

Recently, the club signed Kevin Long to a three-year contract to become the hitting coach. Long has input in the process to fill the vacant coaching position, according to the source.
