All that aside, Wight is a leader, and using your own argument, the Mets value him more than any other team will, so when we wouldn't get much back, why trade him. In light of Harvey coming up and being very good the other night, and the rumors that they may even bring up Wheeler this year, I think having a veteran presence in the locker room is necessary. Who else is that going to be? Maybe Johan or Dickey, but it is pretty clear to see that Wright is the leader of the team.

Playing the game the "right way" means you hustle on
every play!
Using Cano as an example is grasping at straws.
Everybody knows Jeter is the guy on the Yanks you need to bring up when making comparisons in the "Hustle" department.
If I was a Sox fan, you would need to bring up Pedroia, not ortiz.
Otherwise your comparing apples to oranges, but you knew that already
Couple of points:

Chris, you seem awfully vested in a team you are not a fan of!
Mac, yes its Saturday morning, I'm bored, so I'm stirring the pot
FWIW, I think the Mets should clean house!
Trade Wright, Santana, and Dickey.
That's how they will get out of this situation they are mired in.
Bringing in crops of young talent, not holding on to the failed dreams of an 06, 07, and 08 team that came up short after being built around Wright!
As for a veteran presence, You have Jason Bay for next year with a player option for the following year!
