Reyes will 100% be the yankees SS when jeter decides he's done. There is zero doubt in my mind.

I wouldn't be surprised if the marlins signed that contract with this in mind.

??? He deff. Will sign DW is just the type of guy you want here! Iam sick of all the wright haters posting cr a p like this. ok I get it you think wright should hit 350 hit 40 homers and drive in 130 instea of hitting 300 25 homers and 100 rbi. Fact is he loves playing here and is an asset to this franchise moving forward.

Best for the team to trade a perenial home grown all star??? You clearly rate players different than I do.

WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO GET PROSPECTS IN TRADE WHEN 95% OF PROSPECTS FAIL AT THE MAJOR LEAGUE LEVEL. cant we ever make a trade scenario where IF and thats a BIG IF we were to trade a guy like wright we get someone who can 100% help us NOW rather than a guy with a 5% chance of helping us in 4 years

well I think both of our hearts are in the right place. However we drastically disagree

+1. Wright is not the problem. If this organization can't afford him, that's not his problem. How quick we forget the circumstances that brought this team to it's current woeful state: cheapskate penny-pinching due, in large part, to sneaky, greedy, conniving business practices.

Trading Wright away is FATALISM, plain and simple. Mets fans have lived with failure for so long that they've actually started to believe that bailing on their best players to save a buck and plan for the future is the right approach, when the fact is The Coupons & Co. bailed on this team's future a LONG time ago. So what's the real heart of the matter? Letting one of the best homegrown players in the history of this franchise walk because you're too in debt to afford him as a result of your bad business dealings. Still have sympathy for the Coupons and want to let him walk now? What makes you think any money saved gets reinvested back into the team? What makes you think a few prospects will miraculously improve the continuing glaring issues this organization has? Guaranteed, they all end up kindling for the fire. Then we feel bad that they can't be on a better team, so we trade them away for more unproven kindling, LOL. Until Fred, Jeffy, and their entourage of boot licking toadies are gone, the climate here WILL NOT change.

There's no rebuilding here, people! Wake the funk up! Not while these idiots are in command. It's all a ruse, and you've bought into it. The Coupons play roulette with this team, and hope that for every 2nd rate misfit, past their prime, AAA bottom feeder, or damaged goods they pick up from other teams scrap heaps, 1 or 2 might actually be productive. Hey, it happens...rarely (Dickey, anyone?), but it's no way to run/build a team year in and year out.

By the way... when did we become the Kansas City Mets?

i agree, he is not worth 20 mill either. Just say how just because you put up pretty good stats u are warranted for a hugeeeee amount. Beltran was playing CF, had a monster postseason, played good defense, hit almost 40 homers and drove in a lot of runs and the most he got was 17 mill a year. So they are going to pay wright more money for less better defense compared to beltran, at a less desirable position, for a guy who has less power than beltran, who at the time wright will be older than he was when he got his contract... no thanks!

It may be whats best for Wright but not for the Mets.
Mets are not that far away from being solid.
Its just the idiots in the FO seem to think that rotating guys back & forth from the farm is the answer instead of actually upgrading a few positions from outside

Wright will never win anything here. Its best he move on to a team that's just about complete and need an allstar 3rd baseman. The Mets could use the 2-3 high end prospects they get back to speed up the youth movement...

--> Now a hard puzzle to figure out where Wright is likely to end up.

AT**NT* B*A**S

We have enough 3B with Lutz, Flores & Cambell.
We have enough 2B Valdespin, Satin, Havens & Turner.
We have a 1B with Ike.
That translates into DW, Murph & Duda as major trade bait. SA should target the two best OF and best C prospect he can find that are, or almost ML ready. Now you have a legit, young core along with Dickey, Niese, Harvey, Santana, Wheeler, Mejia & Familia.
We have to turn our surplus assets into what we need and the farm is devoid of. We need two stud OF's and one C. DW may be the face of the franchise, but he's going to cost a ton and may go FA. Also, have we won anything since he's been here? Time to cash in.

We have enough 3B with Lutz, Flores & Cambell.
We have enough 2B Valdespin, Satin, Havens & Turner.

--> That is enough? What have any of these guys ever proven?

send him to philly....you can have anyone except hamels and halladay....that is a fair deal.

>I find it amusing that there are people are dying to get rid of him, yet every other fan covets him. Hmmm.<

We canbe terrible with him or without him..and what makes you think he will stay here for less money?

No offense, but those 2b/3b options are horrid. Turner? Valdespin? Satin? Turner is a bench guy. In all likelihood thats what Valdespin is too. Satin turns 28 in a month and he's still in the minors. Lutz is having a nice year, but he's already 26...and he's constantly hurt. Havens is constantly hurt, and now this year that he's actually staying on the field he's been brutal. Flores might be something but he's still years away.

Those guys are not enough at 2b/3b....certainly not enough to get rid of Wright for....and not really convincing enough to let Murph go either.
