NEW YORK — David Wright's No. 5 will be retired by the New York Mets before a July 19 game against Cincinnati. Wright's number will be the 10th retired by the Mets, the sixth since Steve Cohen bought the team ahead of the 2021 season. Wright also will enter the team's Hall of Fame, joining Tom Seaver as the only Mets players to receive both honors on the same day. A seven-time All-Star, Wight hit .296 with 242 homers, 970 RBIs and 196 stolen bases from 2004-18, his career cut short by neck, back and shoulder injuries that required surgery.
