Contract Status and Trade Rumors

Becoming a free agent in 2021, Wright signed an 8 year, $138 million deal with New York after the 2012 season.

Because of that and injuries, it’s safe to say Wright will never be moved, unless he is bought out or retires, which I doubt would happen.

While he has battled through a lot of health issues the last few seasons, it’s obvious that he is the leader of this team. While players like Yoenis Cespedes and Noah Syndergaard have cemented themselves as faces of the franchise because of their play, Wright is still the face of this franchise.

He does everything right and says all of the right things. I think that’s something anyone would love to have has their image for their franchise.
