The New York Mets would like to retain third basemen David Wright and pitcher R.A. Dickey for years to come. The team is working on re-signing the two to multi-year deals before their current contracts expire after the 2013 season.
Wright has long been considered a cornerstone of the Mets. He is believed to be seeking a long term deal of seven years or more worth $125 million. Wright has a club option of $16 million for the 2013 season. He compiled a .306/.391/.492 line in 2012 while hitting 21 home runs and driving in 93 RBI. Wright has spent his entire 9 years of major league service with the Mets.
R.A. Dickey has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball the last couple of seasons. Dickey has a $5 million option for next season but is believed to be willing to test free agency if a deal cannot be worked out before sprint training. Dickey won 20 games this season and had a 2.73 ERA. Dickey is on a short list for the NL Cy Young award.

It's likely that Mets third baseman David Wright and starting pitcher R.A. Dickey could have new contracts in place by the time the World Series begins, a source told the New York Post's Mike Puma.
The Mets hold options on both players for 2013 -- $16 million for Wright and $5 million for Dickey -- that are all but certain to be exercised should new deals not be in place...

In a post to CBS Sportsline.com, MLB reporter Jon Heyman lists who he believes should bring home some hardware for their 2012 campaigns. When speaking about the should-be winner of the National League Cy Young Award, Heyman stated the following about New York Mets starter, R.A. Dickey:“[R.A. Dickey] led the league in strikeouts, but most impressively managed to go 20-6 for the...

Last week in one of our MMO Roundtable posts, I posed the question to our staff about whether David Wright would be back in a Mets uniform next season. Only one out of the seventeen who replied said Wright wouldn’t be back. Almost all of them made comments that Sandy Alderson has to do “whatever it takes”, or that this was “a no-brainer”.It was a landslide. Mets fans...

Photo Taken by Michael BaronWith the off-season upon us, the New York Mets front-office can now begin the daunting task of trying to turn this club into a contender. Honestly, I don’t see that happening in one off-season. The club needs a new outfield, help in the pen, a starting catcher, Major League caliber players on its bench, and could even use another arm in the rotation...

In November of last year there was a rumor of a Mets-Angels trade involving David Wright. As with most rumors, it’s hard to say if there were actual talks between the two teams or if it was something created by a drunken journalist in a bar or a blogger in his mom’s basement. Most versions had the Mets acquiring Peter Bourjos, along with another player or two.Mets fans were...

David Wright and Ruben Tejada seem more than comfortable working together after the departure of Jose Reyes
Welcome to our off-season, my Mets faithful! I realize there is still post-season baseball to be played (how ’bout those A’s, huh?) but for the Kings of Queens, the off-field work is already starting. As we at the Daily Stache begin the long wait until February 13...

The buzz on the street is that the Mets, still strapped for cash and likely to bleed money for another season or two might need to part ways with their beloved 3B. As David Wright would leave Flushing for a new franchise, this Met fan wonders, who the Mets will bill as the great hope of the team? If not Wright, then who?Ike Davis seems to be an option. He’s clean cut, and...

With so many items on the Mets to-do list this offseason, their longest such list in nearly a decade, you’ll get few arguments that improving the outfield would be paramount after addressing the R.A.
