According to the New York Daily News, the Mets hope David Wright will "justify another multi-year commitment, and remain the face of their franchise for years." However, the sides have yet to begin extension talks. Wright is in the final season of the six-year, $55 million extension he signed in August 2006, but the Mets own a $13 million 2013 team option. Despite their apparent desire to keep Wright long-term, the Mets want to hold off talks until they're sure he's not "entering an injury-prone phase of his career." Wright is currently dealing with a broken pinkie, and a decision on whether or not to send him to the disabled list is expected Friday.
