A hot fresh tweet:

Andy Martino ?@SurfingTheMets

Can now report Mets have made Wright a 7 year offer well in excess of $100 mil, according to industry sources. Negotiations in process.

Per Rubin the Mets offered a 6 year extension of 6/100 expected to be declined....

Tampa Bay showed Longoria alot of love beyond the money... They made a partership, player and team, to try and be competitive every year, an approached he said he desired.

Cmon Jeffy...


Old news - they're past that now.

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets have offered a contract extension to David Wright that would keep the All-Star third baseman with the club at least through 2020, a major league source told ESPNNewYork.com.

The source said Wright had been offered at least a seven-year extension by the Mets, on top of the $16 million he is owed for 2013.

A second source who has spoken with Mets officials said "they've been really optimistic" an extension will be reached with Wright.

The 30-year-old Wright became the franchise's leader in hits, runs, walks and RBIs during the 2012 season.

"There are offers going back and forth," the source said.

A source familiar with the matter did not believe the deal would be finalized before next week's winter meetings.

"It could, but it's certainly speculative that it will," a different source added.

if the baseline is the $17m/yr average deals for Longoria and Zimmerman, and the Mets are offering 7 years (on top of the year he still has), then that would be about $120M in total.
While i wouldn't be thrilled with having a 38-year old making $17m, Wright does bring other things to the table (he'll soon hold all Met hitting records, and a face of the franchise equaling that of Seaver himself) that makes me think this would still be a good deal.

I never had any doubt they would get something done with Shug.

Hopefully we'll get enough thrills between now and then, and the economy will have recovered enough in the interim, that $17 mills to the 38 year-old will feel like a generous tip at the end of a satisfying meal.

Then Megdal isn't working hard enough.

Nope. Now it's time to talk extras. Sweets for my sweet and sugar for my honey. Or for my Sugar.

  • All Star Boni.
  • Post-Season Boni.
  • Real estate options.
  • A big fat donation to the David Wright Foundation
  • Use of the facilities for DWF events.
  • Tickets for DWF beneficiaries
  • A big old C on the front of his jersey.
  • "Bono. I fucking want to meet Bono."
  • Whatever stupid shit Derek Jeter gets.

Yeah.
It would be one thing for Dabid to walk away for a better offer elsewhere, or even to ride out the year in order to test the market next winter if he didn't get what most would consider a real offer (see: Reyes, Jose). But, assuming this info is even close to accurate, there's no way he's going to turn down this one and hold on to his image and the good will he's worked so hard at maintaining. IOW, the crap sandwich of bad pr would fall totally on his head if he doesn't accept this deal and I can't see him allowing that to happen.
I sez it's all over but the details at this point.

If the report is accurate and the Mets didn't pee in his lap during the negotiations.

If they're paying him that kind of money he'd better make some AS teams.

Which one might wish would obviate any need for such boni, but there's no shortage of contracts out there that pay a guy like an All Star and then give him a bonus if he happens to play like one.

he'd also have to play out the season, risking debilitating or even career-ending injury. If he's getting more than Zimm and Longoria per year, no way he passes on this deal on the off-chance somebody will pay him a few bucks more (and i don't think they would; he's not worth $20m/yr for 7+yrs to anybody but the Mets).

I like it when a plan comes together.

Wright gives statement, says today's reports are "inaccurate."

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/11/david-wright-reports-are-inaccurate.html

"I have said from Day 1 that I want to play my entire career with the New York Mets. I remain hopeful that goal can be achieved. However, I am disappointed by the reports that I have read today which are inaccurate," said Wright.


Now if this all turns out to be nothing more than front office leaked rumors designed to make it look like the team is making a decent offer, this whole thing could get blow'd to bitty bits.

I think DW is referring to Mike Puma's report today that getting a bigger deal than Santana had was "important" to Wright.
