I believe that either David Wright or the Wilpons will be gone in 2013.
Wright becomes a free agent in 2013, and the 5-6 year deal he will most likely want will be out of our price range as long as the Wilpons are at the helm, as if there already weren't 246 other reasons to want the Wilpons to sell the team.
When David Wright's contract runs out, I want him to be able to sit down and negotiate with a Mets owner who:
1-isn't broke
2-doesn't daydream about owning the Brooklyn Dodgers instead
3-didn't publicly say that he's "not a superstar"
4-isn't relying on loans and minority shares to scrape together enough money to pay for a winning team
5-that last one was basically a rehash of point 1, but it's worth repeating
It's pretty aggravating to see a competent Sandy Alderson forced to pass on guys like Jose Reyes and perhaps Wright, while Omar Minaya essentially had no leash and used his money in all the wrong ways (if Jason Bay is on this team in 2013 and Wright isn't I may not watch a whole lot of baseball).
With any luck, it will be the Wilpons and not David Wright that will be out in 2013.
