Mets executive Jeff Wilpon reiterated general manager Sandy Alderson's call for patience on Wednesday, saying that extension talks with David Wright are not necessarily imminent. "He's under contract for this year," Wilpon said of the third baseman. "We have an option for next year. There's no gun to anybody's head. So let it just play out, and at the right time Sandy and I will discuss it, and it will move on." Alderson said that he planned to speak to Wright's agent at some point this season. The Mets hold a $16 million option on Wright's contract for the 2013 season, meaning there is no rush for the team to negotiate with its star third baseman.
