David Wright became the latest young player on the New York Mets to get a longterm contract, signing a $55-million, six-year extension yesterday.

Wright, 23, joins Jose Reyes, who signed a $23.25-million, four-year extension on Thursday.

"It's been an exciting week for us," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said. "To reach agreements with both Jose and David means the left side of our infield is secure for the next several years."

Wright is hitting .308 with 22 homers and 82 RBI this season. He has 11 stolen bases.
