MLB.com notes what each postseason participant will receive from the players' pool which is formed from 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first three games of the Division Series and 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first four games of the League Championship series and the World Series. 

A portion of this was awarded to the four regular season second-place clubs that were not Wild Card participants, which includes the Mets.

Share of Players' Pool: $524,593.91; value of each full share: $9,411.28 - The Mets were awarded 41 full shares, 14.63 partial shares and two cash awards.

Confused? Yeah, me too, but Matthew Cerrone at Metsblog breaks it down.
