they will settle. He also says Wright's return costs the Mets 611k or something like that, I've read other people say a few million. Maybe it would be a few million if he didn't retire because the insurance wouldn't kick in again.
If he settles, this "last hurrah" costs Wright a lot of money, so people criticizing him maybe respect that a little.

...The 35-year-old Wright, who last appeared in a game for the Mets on May 27, 2016, will be activated from the disabled list on Sept. 25, according to team COO Jeff Wilpon, and start at third base on Sept. 29, the final Saturday of the season. The Mets conclude their season the following day, after which the club is expected to reach an insurance settlement on the $27 million remaining on Wright’s contract, through 2020.
With Wright on the disabled list, the Mets have recovered 75 percent of his salary. Wright’s return will cost the club $641,711....

Sorry, not retire, but a few million if he didn't settle....
Is he going to be activated for the entire 6 game home-stand? Didn't he mention something about possibly facing a soft-throwing lefty? If so, that's going to sell seats as well.
RE: $641,711 in exchange for two sell-out games? Â

I believe he was joking about that, sort of self deprecation.
