The Mets are quietly putting together a long-term contract offer for David Wright, according to a baseball official.
The third baseman could receive an extension as soon as this summer.
New York holds a $16 million option to retain Wright for 2013, so there is no urgency for them to begin discussing an extension with his representatives.
Wright will likely receive a new contract before next winter because they'd prefer to trade him if a long-term agreement isn't reached.
