David Wright is a bright guy, but in this case he doesn’t seem to get it. He looks at you quizzically when told that being traded away from the Mets – where the ballpark works against him, ownership and upper management view him as less than a superstar, and the team is facing more losing seasons for the near future – would actually be the best thing to ever happen to him.

Or maybe — maybe! — David Wright, grown-ass man, has a better sense of what he wants and what’s best for him than some guy who doesn’t really know him at all.

And I appreciate the use of the second-person here, because it makes it sound like David Wright looks at me quizzically when I tell him that being traded away from the Mets would be the best thing to ever happen to him, which is precisely the response I’d expect from Wright if I were to tell him that. I bet he’d think, “who the hell is this guy?” But because he’s super polite he’d just give me a curious look and not really say anything.
