NEW YORK -- David Wright is rooting for Juan Soto and the New York Mets to win the World Series title that eluded him.

"It seems like the will to win within the organization is incredible," the former Mets captain said Wednesday during a Zoom news conference that followed the team's announcement that his No. 5 will be retired on July 19.

New York, which won its only titles in 1969 and 1986, has become baseball's biggest spender since Steve Cohen bought the team from the Wilpon and Katz families ahead of the 2021 season.
