In early December, the Mets locked up the face of their franchise by giving third baseman David Wright seven years and $122MM in new money. Some will argue that the Mets had to retain Wright, unless they wanted to deal with a revolt from fans who haven t seen them finish better than fourth place since 2008. The Madoff suit had been settled prior to the season, and Wright was coming off a vintage year. This was more than just a contract extension; it was a grand gesture to fans.
