PORT ST. LUCIE — To understand where the Mets are heading as a franchise, listen to the words of David Wright.
The now-retired captain has that new role with the club as special adviser. Friday was a good day to watch him at work.
In the morning, Wright sat at the far end of the clubhouse with the pitching staff, telling stories and having a good time. Later, he spent one-on-one time with Jacob deGrom, who has yet to sign a contract extension with the Mets.
Seemingly every player being considered for an extension has already signed one, except deGrom.
