"The Diamondbacks will go window shopping near the trade deadline. They could take a swing at Mets star David Wright, reportedly on the trading block in New York.
Sounds tempting.
Wright is a career .302 hitter. He has 5 All-Star Game appearances in 8 years as a professional. For a few years, he was the best third baseman in New York.
He is signed through 2012 with a $16 million team option in 2013. He is currently recovering from a stress fracture in his lower back. Recently, he was publicly criticized by team owner Fred Wilpon, who described Wright as a nice guy but not nearly as good as people think.
Yet Wright is only 28, and from 2006-08, he was a consistent MVP candidate. Some think he's been swallowed up by Citi Field, and for the record, Wright has 12 home runs and a .525 slugging percentage in 196 plate appeareances at Chase Field."
