"He's under contract this year, we have an option for next year, there's no gun to anybody's head," Wilpon said Wednesday.

"He's under contract this year, we have an option for next year, there's no gun to anybody's head," Wilpon said Wednesday.
Jon Niese is not scheduled to pitch for the Mets again until Sunday night, so he decided to fill the time by calling in to chat with Boomer & Craig.
Just another example of why Mr. Carton is a player, year after year, in the race for the coveted 'Pulse of the People' award.
Craig was rather distraught by the Mets' failure to kick the Phillies while they were down.
After using Wednesday's four-hour platform to boldly declare the Mets were the kings of baseball in New York, Craig was singing a little bit of a different tune this morning.
Pinch-hitter Carlos Ruiz came through with a tying homer in the seventh inning, Jimmy Rollins added a three-run shot and the Philadelphia Phillies busted loose late to beat the New York Mets 10-6 Wednesday night.
If the first 50 games are any indication, this might be a season to remember.
Yes, the Mets GM would like Wright to stick around. Yes, he'll be in contact with the All-Star third baseman's representatives. But Alderson stopped shy of saying a formal offer would be made this season.
After receiving a plethora of calls from our young listeners uttering the phrase 'FU Philly,' we decided to put them all together in a montage...
With the majority of the show focused on what Craig hopes will become the Mets' new battle cry - 'FU Philly' - it seemed only fitting that former Phillies closer Mitch Williams was scheduled to stop by.
Craig is now calling what the Mets are doing a 'magical run' -- and because of that he is starting to believe.
Jeremy Hefner earned his first victory in the majors, highlighting the occasion by homering for his first big league hit as the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 on a rainy Tuesday night.
The knuckleballer won both his starts this week, allowing just one run in 14 1/3 innings. Most impressively, the 37-year-old recorded 21 strikeouts to just one walk.
The Yankees, currently struggling with depth in their bullpen, have acquired ex-Mets reliever Ryota Igarashi off of waivers, according to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
The Mets and Yankees are back in Evan's Top 10.
No offense to David Wright and Terry Collins, but the Mets' All-Star third baseman is no Derek Jeter.
By the end of New York's 8-4 loss to the Phillies, Plan C at shortstop, Justin Turner, was out with a badly sprained right ankle.
With Justin Turner heading to the DL, there is some uncertainty regarding who will be playing shortstop for the Mets when they take the field against the Phillies in Flushing.
Scott Hairston and Vinny Rottino each hit tying two-run homers for the Mets, who had a three-game winning streak end.

Team O'Neill is headed to Yankee Stadium to throw out the ceremonial first pitch the night before I'll Have Another attempts to win the Belmont Stakes
The Mets will have the 12th selection in the 2012 MLB First-Year Draft which takes place next Monday. New York has picked 12th once before in club history, in 2003 when they chose Lastings Milledge.
But this Memorial Day weekend had the added attraction of the resurrection of one of New York baseball's quaintest traditions -- Banner Day.
The duo of Johan Santana and R.A. Dickey have been as good as any two hurlers in baseball.
R.A. Dickey struck out 10 and reached double digits for strikeouts in consecutive games for the first time in his career.
