NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets have picked up the contract options for All-Stars David Wright and R.A. Dickey.
The Mets said Wednesday they were not planning to make an official announcement of the moves that were really just a formality. General manager Sandy Alderson has said signing the two players to long-term deals is his top priority this offseason.
Wright, the Mets’ third baseman since 2004, will make $16 million next season. A strong contender for the NL Cy Young Award, Dickey’s deal will pay him $5 million.
