Wright is excellent. However, he's always come across as a bit of a private, low key guy. He realizes that full details of his contract will come out...he just doesn't want to have everything leaked out while negotiations are still ongoing. He's come out and said that the reports so far have been inaccurate. So for all we know he hasn't actually been offered as much as has been reported.
Look at Reyes last year. Mets fans went ballistic because he didn't accept the offer the Mets reportedly made to him. Traitor, greedy, etc. problem was...the Mets never even made an offer. But since "sources" got it wrong, as they often do, a whole lot of false claims showed up in print. The NY media is bullshit, and always has been.
Still I expect Wright will end up signing. He's said since the start of his career that he wants to be a Met for life. It's the team he grew up rooting for. It's just up to the front office to not cock it up.
