Yes. I'm sure THAT'S the plan that sold Wright on staying w/ Mets for rest of his career.

More than David would've gotten on the open market?? You go right on believing that.

LOL

32 yr old Victorino who hit .255 in 2012 just got $13M/ yr. But you think 30 yr old David Wright w/ over .300 lifetime BA, way more HRs, way more RBIs & only slightly under Victorino's SB/ yr avg (SV = 30 SB/ yr vs DW = 21 SB/yr) wouldn't be able to get more than $17.25M/ yr (avg of what Mets gave him for 8 yrs) on the open market??? In what universe?????

"No, getting more $$$ from the Mets than he would've commanded on open market took care of that "

BJ Upton got 15M a year Wright got 17.25M a year, you really think he would not have gotten more on the open market?
