Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes that the Mets will be "open-minded" if teams inquire about third baseman David Wright. "Here is the problem," said an AL personnel man. "The industry values David Wright as a good to very good player who might already be trending the wrong way and is about to get very expensive. A lot of teams like the Rockies and Angels need a third baseman. But the return package will be good, not great." Wright has one guaranteed year remaining on his contract at $15 million and the Mets hold an option for 2013 at $16 million with a $1 million buyout. However, if he is traded, Wright can void the option for 2013. In addition to the Rockies and Angels, the Tigers and Mariners have been speculated as potentially interested parties.
