Meet the Mets
Joel Sherman reports in the Post this morning that after polling 10 different executives from around the league, they all think David Wright will re-sign with the club. Sherman speculates that a deal in the seven year, $127 million range should get it done (and coupled with his current team option, that'd make the total contract worth 8 years at $143 million).
Mets' legend Ralph Kiner celebrates his 90th birthday today! Happy birthday, Ralph! Also celebrating birthdays are Jon Niese (26) and Ruben Tejada (23). Also, I believe today is the 26th anniversary of some World Series clinching victory or something.
