David Wright will assume a new role with the club as Special Advisor to #Mets COO Jeff Wilpon and @GMBVW. In a related move, the organization and David mutually agreed to his release from the current roster. pic.twitter.com/C03PDVR4zO

The Mets didn’t send me a press release (shocker) but as discussed on this very blog earlier, Wright will become an Assistant TO the General Manager.
Jokes aside, I wonder what this means from a payroll/insurance standpoint.
