David Wright Confident Mets Going In Right Direction, Believes He Can Win In New York
Posted in: Today's ChiliPORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — David Wright has some unfinished business in New York, and he still has faith he can win with the Mets.
The third baseman re-signed this winter for another eight years and $138 million, a contract he said gave him some peace of mind about his future.
“It’s so easy to look at the offseason and see we lost a Cy Young winning pitcher (R.A. Dickey), and we didn’t go out and sign a lot of big-ticket free agents,” Wright said before the first full-squad workout Monday. “We didn’t spend a lot of money, but the guys that were here last year know what we were able to accomplish the first half and that was fun, going out there and playing good baseball and winning a lot of games. … There are 100 different reasons why guys are motivated and excited about this season, and when you put together a room full of those young, energetic players, those types of teams can be scary.”
