Apparently he wants to stay in New York and even had Roc Nation talk to the Yankees. The Nats are reportedly offering 5 years at around $100 million but I can't imagine him taking that. His best deal is what the Mets are reportedly offering for 3 years with an opt-out clause after the 1st year. I still don't know why nobody is willing to go deep on him given Upton just got his 6 year paycheck but having a chance to get back on the market next offseason when the only other big name available is Bautista at 36 (if he doesn't sign an extension before that) then he'll have much better offers out there.
I kinda feel bad for him. It's arguable that the Mets don't make the playoffs with his MVP caliber bat after he was traded but he's not turning that into a big payday. Meanwhile Upton, who is linked to a draft pick, got his big contract. I've turned into a skeptic but I feel like he's worth it.

With all that said...if he's locked into that Nationals rotation and everyone is healthy then it's one scary asss lineup. But paper is just paper and the Mets can shut any lineup down.
