Wright: Mets are again attractive to top free agents

After Yoenis Cespedes signed a three-year deal with the Mets and reportedly rejected a $100 million offer from the Nationals, Mets captain David Wright believes the Mets are a team players want to play for again.

"We are, I feel, a much better team than what we were going into 2015," Wright told CBS Sports' Adam Schein on Thursday. "Obviously, you want the good players to come play for you instead of going to your division rival. We've proven that players want to come play for us. You have to prove that you can be a winning a team, a winning organization, an organization that is willing to be aggressive and pull triggers on trades in the middle of the year, or make those free agent signings.
