Paul Blackburn's future with the Mets is uncertain due to a recent back injury and surgery, leading to mixed feelings about offering him arbitration.
Blackburn's recovery from a cerebrospinal fluid leak could keep him out for the beginning of Spring Training, complicating the Mets' tender decision.
The lack of options for Blackburn adds pressure on the Mets' front office as they weigh the cost of offering him arbitration.
Despite the injury concerns, the assumption is that the Mets may still choose to tender Blackburn a contract due to his potential value.
