Mets news: David Wright’s contract is insured
David Wright‘s contract is insured, meaning the Mets would recoup 75 percent of the contract while he’s out once Wright misses 60 days, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported.
While tweeting the news, Rosenthal twice referred to “days” missed, which means the Mets would start recouping 75 percent of the contract if Wright remains out past June 14.
If it’s actually games missed and not days missed, the Mets would begin to recoup 75 percent of the contract if Wright remains out past June 19.
Wright, 32, is owed $107 million through the 2020 season.
Wright hasn’t appeared in a game for the Mets since suffering a right hamstring injury while sliding into second base on April 14.
