The New York Mets will reportedly retire the jersey of longtime third baseman David Wright during the 2025 MLB season.

According to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, the Mets will hold a ceremony to retire Wright's No. 5 prior to the July 19 game against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field in Flushing, New York.

In addition to becoming the 10th Mets player to have his number retired, Wright will reportedly also be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame as part of the festivities.

Wright, who turns 42 on Dec. 20, is arguably the greatest position player in Mets history, having spent his entire 14-year career with the franchise.

In 1,585 regular-season games from 2004 to 2018, Wright slashed .296/.376/.491 with 242 home runs, 970 RBI, 949 runs scored, 1,777 hits, 390 doubles and 196 stolen bases.

Wright was also a seven-time All-Star and a two-time Gold Glove Award and Silver Slugger Award winner at third base.

He is the Mets' all-time leader in hits, doubles, walks, RBI and runs scored, plus he is second in home runs behind only Darryl Strawberry.

From 2005 to 2013, Wright was one the most consistent hitters in baseball, hitting .302 and averaging 23 homers, 93 RBI, 90 runs scored and 20 steals per season.

Injuries ultimately derailed what very well could have been a Hall of Fame career, as Wright was limited to 38 games and 37 games in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

He then missed the entire 2017 season due to neck and shoulder injuries before returning to play in two games in front of the home fans in 2018 ahead of retirement.

Aside from the players who were part of the Mets' World Series championship teams in 1969 and 1985, there is perhaps no more beloved player in team history than Wright.

As such, it is only fitting that he is poised to take his place among other legendary Mets who have had their jersey numbers retired in Strawberry, Tom Seaver, Mike Piazza, Willie Mays, Casey Stengel, Gil Hodges, Jerry Koosman, Keith Hernandez and Dwight Gooden.

Wright's jersey retirement promises to add even more excitement to a Mets season that already has the potential to be special.

Last season, the Mets far exceeded expectations and made it all the way to the National League Championship Series.

That prompted owner Steve Cohen to get aggressive in free agency, as he signed superstar outfielder Juan Soto away from the rival New York Yankees with a record 15-year, $765 million contract.

The Mets have built up a ton of goodwill with their fans as a result, and retiring the number of their beloved captain during the 2025 campaign will only add to it.
