New York Mets may offer $100 million for contract extension with David Wright - MLB Update
As per the reports, New York Mets have decided to offer $100 million contract extension to their All-Star third baseman David Wright. With the season coming to an end, one of the most important tasks that the Mets will accomplish in the offseason is renewing
a contract with Wright.
In light of the fact that the Mets want Wright to stay in the organisation and not to test free agency, they will try their best to retain him.
Wright has time and again revealed that he loves to keep playing for the Mets throughout his career. However, he has also clarified that if he is not offered the deal, he will be invoking free agency.
Earlier reports surfaced that said that the Mets are looking to conclude the deal with Wright at the earliest and that by the start of the World Series they may have clinched the agreement.
In this connection, reports that say the Mets will grant $100 million to Wright as the negotiations begin may not be wrong.
Mets are not strong financially which makes it extremely difficult for them to sign blockbuster deals with players. Freezing huge amount of money for a number of years can play havoc to their overall financial obligations. It can worsen their financial woes
in turn.
In this regard, the renewal of the contract with Wright may have put the team officials in a great dilemma because losing such a player can weaken their offence.
An absence of Wright from the team can further reduce their chances for putting up better performances in the upcoming seasons. Against this backdrop, it may become indispensable for the club to somehow treat Wright as an exceptional player and ink an extravagant
contract extension with him.
It remains to be seen as to how Wright will respond to the offer. Unless his areas of concerns are known, it is hard to conclude that the deal will be agreed and that Wright will remain in the Mets for years to come.
Within a few days, it can be expected that further developments in connection to the contract extension with Wright take place. It will be interesting to see as to what amount of money in the end Wright fetches from the deal when it materialises.
