Mets giving Reyes money to Wright?

4@60 sounds more like it . Wright is a solid player but the thought of him having re-occuring back problems should turn a lot of teams off from forking out 100 mill.

Not sure 4 years is gonna get it done...

He's turning 30 in December, and as far as the back issue, he's played 140+ games every year except 2011 & his call up year (including very solid numbers in 156 games last year).

I'd think 5 minimum with some kind of option for the 6th - and that 6th year would make it over $100M (save face for the Mets, even though they can get out of it :-)

You have no choice Mr. Owner but to sign him because he is the face of your franchise, and also show your fans you are serious about trying to built a winning team.

Last winter, the Marlins lured the former Mets shortstop with a backloaded six-year deal worth $106 million.

Yeah, and how did that work out for them?

Wright's best years are behind him.

I think you are about right. Add to that how difficult it is to find good hitting/good fielding 3B, other clubs will bid pretty high for him. The Mets will need to make a credible offer to keep their fans from rebelling.

Wright should sign with a winner: Cincy, Braves, or Nats and get a ring. He'll be forgotten if he stays with Muts or Mets.

David do yourself a favor, sign with a contender like Cincy, Nats or Braves. You'll be a forgotten player if you stay with the Muts or Mets.

How about 5/$80M?

Two years deal for David wright should give the mets financial freedom to add another pitcher or solid consistent hitter!!!

About two years 20 million deal? The mets need extra flow of cash to sign another needed players,,,,

David Don't Sign anything, play the year out and then go to free Agency!!!

Uh, besides a very brief one-and-done playoff appearance, what have those teams won?
