Agree with Vito. Even in a likely career year for Dickey, the Mets were not in playoff contention,. When you look at what they need and what they have, there are glaring holes almost everywhere that keeping Dickey and signing him long term doesnt solve. You could say the same for Wright, but, imo, its harder to find a starting third naseman who is above average on noth sides of the ball.

I think the Mets would be doing the right thing in shopping Dickey now, and perhaps gaining a return similar to what the Padres got for Mat Latos; major league ready talent that can impact the club for the next 5 years. You also have to wonder if Dickey will ever pitch like again. Mets should capitalize on the high stock of Dickey and the thin market for pitchung.
