08:20 AM ET 02.15 | The debts are staggering and the financial picture is uncertain, perhaps even bleak if the Mets don't prevail in the courthouse, all of which leaves the team in Queens in a suspended state of progress. A big verdict against the Mets in the Madoff case only would add to the team's obligations. Even a relatively light judgment could stretch the owners to the limit. And this season, with no Jose Reyes, no Carlos Beltran and seemingly little chance of contending in the NL East, team revenues could fall sharply. Third baseman David Wright, earning $15 million, could be the next to go. The Mets, rather than make the mistake they made by keeping Reyes, could trade Wright if the team flounders and Wilpon remains in limbo.

Should get a decent return for him. Tigers should take a shot at him. Put him at 3rd full time and put Cabrera at DH, splitting time at 1st with Prince.

75 wins...With their history of injuries, Sanatana doesn't even start one game this season. Still no closer, Bay and Wright will be traded by trade deadline. STILL NO MONEY!!!!

Only reason I can see for trading Wright is to try to replenish the farm system, which is a complete disaster at the moment. The Mets need some real, viable prospects to develop. With no money to spend for the foreseeable future, they need to be able to build from within.

There's no way the Mets trade him to a division rival.

I hear ya, wishful thinking on my part. The bank ledger for the Prince deal will come from the owner's personal assets to a certain degree. For several years the GM publicly stated the Tigers could only reasonably afford two $20+ million players, Cabrera has been one the past few season and Verlander's bumps from $13 to $20 million this season. The Prince contract was Illitch's move all the way. The way he's made it sound they may not even break even if they reach the ALCS round. But the guy's 82 or 83 and has said he would trade a couple Stanley Cups he has with the wings for one WS title.
