Bob Klapish of NorthJersey reports that David Wright said that he is willing to give up third base to make room for A-Rod should the Mets sign him before the 2008 season.

After 2007, A-Rod has a opt-out clause in which would give him the ability to sign with another team.

“Are you kidding me? As great a hitter as Alex is, I'd definitely do it,” Wright said. “Tell him to come over, tell him to do it.”

When asked where would he play if A-Rod is playing third base….

“Anywhere,” he said matter-of-factly.

“What other player hits 30-something home runs, drives in 100, hits .280 and calls that an off year?”

“Case closed,” Wright said.

Honestly, im actually for bringing A-Rod to the Mets should he opt-out of his contract after 2007. Think about how great of a lineup and infield that would be with Reyes at the top of the order and Beltran, Delgado, A-Rod, Wright in the midde of the lineup. Im not sure i really like the idea of moving Wright, maybe to second, but if he is serious about switching positions then the Mets might have to think about going after A-Rod.
