Got Something (W)right

After all the blather about sign-him/trade-him, the NY Mets have inked David Wright to a long-term contract...reportedly around 8 years, $138MM. That includes this upcoming option year.

So all you naysayers and Yankee fans can stop with the whole "too much" argument. The Mets will make back that cabbage in #5 Jerseys and Mrs. Wright t-shirts. For the Mets fan, it's finally a commitment to doing something that the fans want. And while you can't build a team around fans' wishes, you have to draw them to your ballpark and get them jacked about your team. That wasn't happening putting a AA infielder or utility guy in the lineup. That's already the OF situation.

On to Dickey. Then maybe somebody who can play OF. Or catcher.
