Jeff Wilpon raised a few eyebrows on Monday when he didn’t rule out the possibility of trading David Wright, if that’s what the team’s new GM suggested.

Tuesday, when asked what he thought of Wilpon’s remarks, Wright made it clear he would like to remain with the Mets, but understands the future is at least somewhat uncertain as the search for new management gets underway.

“Of course I’d love to stay with the team that I grew up rooting for and who drafted and developed me, but as of right now that’s not in my control,” Wright said in an e-mail. He is under contract through 2012, with a club option for 2013.

“I hope I remain with the team and I’m part of the solution that gets this thing turned around.”

Wright had a resurgent season after a miserable 2009 and some were surprised on Monday when Wilpon didn’t explicitly rule out moving the third baseman who had 29 homers and 103 RBIs, along with a franchise-record 161 strikeouts.

“I can’t imagine it, but if you’re going to listen to the new GM and he’s going to tell you [a trade will] bring back five pieces or something, then I guess you have to listen,” Wilpon said on Monday in reference to the possibility of moving the veteran. “I’m not saying we’re going to do it, but you’d have to listen.”

Wright expressed concern during the season about where the team was headed, saying that the organization was sending “mixed signals” when inexperienced players like Ruben Tejada and Fernando Martinez were brought up from the minors in place of veterans like Luis Castillo and Jeff Francoeur as the Mets tried – and failed – to stay in playoff contention. But he has consistently said he wants to remain with the organization.
