Which Mets might be next to see their number retired at Citi Field?

The Citi Field ceremony to retire David Wright’s No. 5 removed the last obvious retired player for the Mets to give such a distinction.

Retiring a player’s jersey number has become a more frequent occurrence over time. It wouldn’t be unexpected if the Mets added another player to those already honored, including David Wright, Gil Hodges (No. 14), Dwight Gooden (No. 16), Keith Hernandez (No. 17), Darryl Strawberry (No. 18), Willie Mays (No. 24), Mike Piazza (No. 31), Jerry Koosman (No. 36), Casey Stengel (No. 37), Tom Seaver (No. 41), and Jackie Robinson, whose No. 42 is retired across the league.

The next numbers likely to be retired are Gary Carter’s No. 8 and Jose Reyes’ No. 7. Although Carter played only five seasons with the Mets and doesn’t feature prominently in the team’s record books, his potential recognition would acknowledge his Hall of Fame status and his crucial role as the final piece of the 1986 championship team, marking the most consistent period of success in the franchise’s history from 1985 to 1988.

Reyes remains beloved by Mets fans and is arguably (and perhaps there is no argument) the most electric player in franchise history.
