New York Mets: Did David Wright have a chance at Cooperstown?
During his prime, New York Mets third baseman David Wright was one of the best in baseball. If he stayed healthy, I believe a trip to Cooperstown was possible.
It’s possible David Wright never plays another game for the New York Mets or anyone else in MLB. In fact, I would bet on it.
Wright played only 38 games in 2015 and another 37 in 2016. When he took the field in 2016, he didn’t play very well either. The Captain has already missed all of 2017 and there doesn’t seem to be a plan to return anytime soon.
The rehab process has been a tiresome one for Wright. The most disheartening part of it all is that he essentially had a decade of baseball taken away from him.
