Pedro Feliciano declines arbitration

As many expected, Pedro Feliciano declined arbitration from the New York Mets, according to Ken Davidoff.

This means that, if he decides to sign elsewhere, the Mets will get a sandwich draft pick between the first and second rounds of the draft.100B5811

Philadelphia and the Yankees have already shown interest in Perpetual Pedro, so chances are slim that he returns to the Mets, as Sandy Alderson & Co. are likely to offer him anything over a year.

So, believing this is the end of Every Day Feliciano, I bid you adieu. You’ve been fun to watch trot out to the mound nearly every day. I hope your arm doesn’t fall off anytime soon (unless you sign with Philly, in which case I hope your arm falls off after signing the contract).
