Nearly two and a half years since his last big league game, the Mets will be activating David Wright for the final homestand and will start him on Saturday the 29th in what will be the final game of his career.
Wright didn't say that he was retiring, but he characterized his injuries as "debilitating" and tearfully conceded that there's not much point in him continuing to try to push through it. With two years left on his deal, I'd assume the Mets will do what the Rangers did with Prince Fielder and work out an agreement with the league and the insurance company so that the player can be released to free up the 40-man roster spot while the player still receives their normal pay and benefits.
Gutting situation, but I hope he can find some closure in getting one last game at Citi Field.
