| 13th November, 2007 - 5:13 pm | New York Post - During David Wright's recent conversation with Omar Minaya, the Mets' GM told him that he should get set to occupy the hot corner next season.
Wright was at NYU Medical Center yesterday visiting the Acute Care Pediatric Unit, and at one point he talked to reporters about his discussion with Minaya. Wright certainly sounded as if he didn't leave the conversation believing the Mets were set to acquire another third baseman - e.g. Alex Rodriguez.
"When I spoke to Omar - and he can talk about obviously that stuff more than I can - but it was more of a say hello and he wanted to just tell me, 'Hey, be prepared to be the third baseman in 2008,' " Wright said. "That's what I took from it, and that's the way I'm going about my business."
"I just wanted to let him know that in no way, shape or form does he have to go through me about anything. His job is to make the trades, sign the free agents; my job is to go out there and play. I told him, 'I want to win, first and foremost,' but as far as talking about changing positions, talking about Alex Rodriguez, that name did not get brought up once during the conversation." [READ] |
