The Mets continue to work towards a contract extension with David Wright, though a source close to the discussions claims that the two sides are "not close". The Mets exercised Wright's $16 million option for the 2013 season on Tuesday night, but would like to lock-up their superstar third basemen to a long-term deal. Wright is believed to be seeking a seven or eight year deal worth upward of $20 million each season.
