Stats: In 155 games with the Braves last year, Bourn hit .274 with a .348 OBP and .739 OPS, nine home runs and 57 RBI with 42 stolen bases in 55 attempts.
Contract: Bourn earned $6.8 million to avoid arbitration with the Braves last season.
Because Bourn received a qualifying offer from the Braves, signing him would cost the Mets the 11th overall pick in the 2013 first-year player draft, as only the top ten picks in the draft are protected.
Sandy Alderson recently told reporters he doesn't feel the rule to protect picks needs to be changed ' he thinks the interpretation of the rule needs to be altered.
Alderson said that before they ask the league to protect their first-round draft pick, they would want terms to a contract agreed upon with a player requiring draft compensation, such as Bourn.
