David Wright's Future

Yesterday Sandy Alderson said the following comment on David Wright which is the most striking to me: "I think that his future is independent of club performance." There are many factors involved yes such as his option for 2013 as opposed to the fact Beltran & Reyes were FA. But I think obviously DW future is tied to money. Wilpons have the Madoff trial starting on March 19 which is only expected to last a few weeks. Wilpons could owe up to $386 million. The amount of money that DW is owed over next two years is a lot. Wilpons could force Sandy to cut even more payroll in the future especially if the mets cannot trade Bay if they struggle. You would have to hope mets trade Bay first if he has a good first half season to get relief from his salary. I just think DW is a different story. His popularity with the fans and with Jeff Wilpon is a much different story from Reyes. Fans accepted Reyes leaving but I don't know if things are the same as DW.
