PORT ST. LUCIE — Tom Seaver will be honored in multiple ways by the Mets, and signs point to a statue of Hall of Famer Tom Terrific being erected.

The Mets have had conversations with the Seaver family and the Hall of Fame pitcher dating back a couple years.

A person familiar with the Mets’ thinking told The Post on Friday that the Mets have been in the process of coming up with a number of ways to properly honor Seaver, the greatest Met in franchise history.

The family announced Thursday that Seaver, 74, is suffering from dementia and has retired from public life. He will not attend the ceremony to honor the 1969 Miracle Mets in June. One thing under consideration is a Seaver statue. It’s also important to decide where such a statue would be placed, inside Citi Field or outside. It’s not a completed process yet and the team has been planning to release those plans “shortly.’’ It may not just be one announcement but multiple announcements.

Discussions started right after Jeff Wilpon visited with Seaver a couple years ago in Napa Valley at Seaver Vineyards while the Mets were on a West Coast swing.

Fans started a petition demanding a statue be erected in Seaver’s honor after the family made the announcement Thursday, but the Mets already had it under consideration.

Seaver’s accomplishments are many and he epitomized what those 1969 Miracle Mets were all about under Gil Hodges: precision and teamwork. In every way he was “The Franchise” and finished his career as a member of the 300-win club and 3,000-strikeout club.

Consider that from 1969 through 1971, Seaver was 63-29 with a 2.26 ERA and threw 58 complete games in 106 starts for the Mets.

Over his 12-year career with the Mets, Seaver was 198-124 with a 2.57 ERA. Over his 20-year career, the right-hander compiled a 311-205 record with a 2.86 ERA and an amazing 231 complete games with 3,640 strikeouts.
