PORT ST. LUCIE — David Wright has avoided retirement talk for his two-plus years trying to return to the Mets, but even he admits there are only so many times he can attempt a comeback.
And last call could be this latest minor league rehab assignment, which continued Monday night when Wright started a second straight game at third base for High-A St. Lucie.
Wright’s goal is to play for the Mets before this season concludes. But if that doesn’t happen, Wright isn’t so sure he will be in spring training to try again in 2019.
“There will certainly be some things to think about,” Wright told The Post in a sit-down interview at First Data Field, where he went 0-for-1 with a walk in five innings.
