Mets News and Notes:
The Mets have yet to have discussions with representatives for David Wright and R.A. Dickey about years and dollars on contract extensions, according to the Daily News.
Both players have team options for 2013.
It stands to reason at this point that both players' options will be picked up shortly after the World Series to keep them under the Mets' control while the sides talk about longer-term deals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wally Backman will remain the Mets' Triple-A manager for 2013.
Backman managed Buffalo to a 67-76 record this past season, in his third season managing in the minors for the organization. The Mets' Triple-A affiliate is moving to Las Vegas for next season.
There was no turnover on the Mets' major league coaching staff.

New York Post's Joel Sherman has spoken to more than ten executives outside the Mets organization who believe the team will re-sign David Wright and relatively soon.
It's a public relations move as much as a baseball move, plus getting him signed quickly will allow them to fine tune their off-season plans.
Officials expect Wright to receive a six...

The New York Mets don’t have a lot of financial flexibility this offseason and while they have many holes to fill, two of their main priorities will be David Wright and R.A. Dickey.
Both Wright and Dickey have club options for the 2013 season, so it’s not as if there is immediate urgency to make the moves now, but it’s likely to happen sooner rather than later...

Although the New York Mets are not expected to be serious players in the free agent market because they are still somewhat cash-strapped, the good news is that the further they move away from the Bernie Madoff lawsuit, the more financial breathing room they have.
This offseason, they are expected to be able to retain two key foundational pieces: David Wright and R.A. Dickey. While...

We’re going to track all the wholesale changes for you as they go down this off-season, and on that note I have the great pleasure of announcing that the Mets have claimed catcher Anthony Recker off waivers from the Chicago Cubs.
Recker, 29, played for both the Cubs and the Oakland A’s (so he must be good) last season and was even on their Opening Day roster. However, the right...

Although they have a new team, the Mets Triple-A affiliates will still have the same man at the helm. Wally Backman will return as manager, this time for the Las Vegas 51′s.
Backman led the Buffalo Bisons to a 67-76 record in 2012, a last place finish in the International League’s North Division, but nonetheless has agreed to continue managing the club in 2013.

I’ve been reading the Aubrey/Maturin Series by Patrick O’Brian so nautical metaphors are making a lot of sense.

In the HMS Polychrest I see an apt match for the New York Mets, which probably...
