Lucas Duda requested $1.9 million and was offered $1.35 million from the Mets when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday. The two sides are likely to meet someplace around the midpoint, which would be $1.625 million. The 27-year-old still stands a good chance of being traded prior to the season, but would compete with Ike Davis for the team's starting job at first base if they are unable to deal him.
