As I said a few weeks ago, it's my understanding that Sandy Alderson and Jeff Wilpon had already planned to sit down with David Wright to discuss their future together. The rumored meeting must feel extra important this morning, 12 hours after Wright terminated his rehab assignment to again have his shoulder examined.
"I continued to have shoulder pain," Wright said in a statement late Monday. "I decided to go to the doctor and get it checked out. Will make any decisions going forward after my appointment."
The decision to retire or keep trying to play belongs only to Wright, who is under contract for three more seasons.
