David Wright To Work In Front Office
New York Mets third baseman David Wright has admitted that he is no longer physically able to play the game, but he will keep a small role in the organization as a special assistant to new general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, according to two team sources. Sources close to Wright say it'll be a part-time role that will allow him to spend time with his family. The 36-year-old Wright played his last game in September after years of dealing with spinal issues. Wright was a seven-time All-Star and won two Gold Gloves and two Silver Slugger awards. He had a slash line of .296/.376/.491 with 242 home runs in his 14 seasons with the Mets. Wright also holds franchise records in hits (1,777), runs (949), RBI (970), doubles (390) and walks (761).
