New York Mets’ players such as David Wright and Carlos Beltran can sleep soundly tonight knowing that their recent house or car that they may have purchased won’t be repossessed. MLB union chief, Michael Weiner, visited the Mets on Tuesday and said that players’ guaranteed contracts will not be affected by the Wilpons’ legal issues, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports.

“We want to make sure that all contractual obligations to the players are honored and we’ve been assured through the commissioner’s office that’s the case. So there’s no concerns there,” Wiener said.

“As far as broader questions, look, it’s in the interests of everybody associated with baseball that the National League franchise in New York be a strong franchise. And the Wilpons have always attempted to field a competitive team. They’ve had success at doing that during their tenure. And we certainly hope they’re in a position to continue to do that. But the real key is less what the payroll of the Mets is — [it] is that a team like the New York Mets, the National League entrant from New York, should be in a position to be a strong franchise.”

Wiener also expects the Mets to honor the basic agreement with Francisco Rodriguez. Rodriguez’s option vests at $17.5 million for 2012 if he finishes 55 games in 2011. Otherwise, he’ll receive a $3.5 million buyout in addition to his $11.5 million 2011 salary and will become a free agent next winter.
