PORT ST. LUCIE — David Wright understands the need for caution, in general terms, but doesn’t want to be confined by a preconceived notion of how many games he should play this season.
The Mets third baseman will take it slow in spring training after missing most of 2015 rehabbing from spinal stenosis. Just don’t try telling him 130 games should be his ceiling for this season, as general manager Sandy Alderson has suggested.
“If I feel good and I’m producing and it’s something that is not hurting my back or hurting the team, then I want to be out there,” Wright said Friday before Mets pitchers and catchers held their first official spring workout.
