What Do the Mets Do With Jose Reyes?

jose21_us · 06-16-11, 08:39 PM

I will trade him now for sry ass Hanley Ramirez...

jjgold · 06-16-11, 08:39 PM

They need him

Most teams cannot afford him

He will stay

Br0nxer · 06-16-11, 08:40 PM

Let him walk or trade him.

As soon as he gets paid he will go into operation shutdown mode.

Performance this year is not reality. It is just to get paid

BRAVES1985 · 06-16-11, 08:47 PM

well after those comments the owner made last week i would say kiss my black ass

that would be funny if yanks signed him next year jeter is done anyways

Ninersnut · 06-16-11, 08:50 PM

Gotta trade him...Mets aren't gonna be in the race for a few more years.

Ace_of_Spades · 06-16-11, 08:54 PM

As much as i want the Mets to keep him. A trade might be a better option. He gets injured too often.

BRAVES1985 · 06-16-11, 08:55 PM

this might be his best year yet

teams will pay him

mw00 · 06-16-11, 08:56 PM

if they want to keep their fan's interest and make a statement they want to win, they'll keep him..

kiln · 06-16-11, 09:09 PM

Have to trade him. To the Giants.

Exactly. Typical performance on a contract year.

Reyes is a good SS, but he's looking for a monster contract and isn't worth it.

BigDan · 06-16-11, 11:52 PM

Id like to see STL give away what they want, maybe Rasmus who while talented is clearly JD Drew's clone. and whatever prospect they want, i dont care if we cant sign him we still dump rasmus and actually have a shortstop that can field for the rest of the year, if we not gonna keep Albert might as well take a shot to win it this year.

dynamite140 · 06-17-11, 03:04 AM

send him to the yankeess

jcubs55 · 06-17-11, 03:22 AM

They should try to trade him obviously, but his contract may be an issue

NYSportsGuy210 · 06-17-11, 04:18 AM

If the Mets are prudent they try to deal Jason Bay and a minor league player for another bad contract of someone that can at least hit the ball to the warning track like an Alfonso Soriano or an Adam Dunn. Then they should package a deal that sends Mike Pelfrey and Francisco Rodriguez to a team that desperately needs bullpen and starting pitching (like the Yankees do) for some prospects like Jesus Montero and a solid AA pitcher.

If you can.....negotitiate and try to KEEP REYES.

illmatick · 06-17-11, 04:31 AM

Trade him is the best option imo. Gonna be hard to find optimal value, though.

NYSportsGuy210 · 06-17-11, 04:41 AM

They will have Beltran and Luis Castillo's contract off the books next year and if they can get rid of K-Rod's contract this year by trading him and Pelfrey to the Yankees for Jesus Montero and a AA pitching prospect then they can afford to sign Jose Reyes for something like 5 years/ $93 million.

Br0nxer · 06-17-11, 05:07 AM

they are not getting montero and a double A pitching prospect for two rental players.

keep smoking what your smoking pal

K-Rod has a 2012 option to play on his contract also so not necessarily a rental.

trust me

they can probably get montero and a tier 2 double A pitching prospect

they are not getting montero and betances or banuelos. those two are untouchable

the mariners werent getting montero and either of those 2 when the cliff lee deal almost went down

they might be able to get betances or banuelos but then they wouldnt be able to have montero

i dont really think they would want k-rod past this yr

guy is a punk. mo cant stand k-rod. the 2 of them do not get along. i know this for a fact

dochall2u · 06-17-11, 05:33 AM

I think with the idiotic contracts that they are getting rid of this year;why would they get locked in with another long termer with injuries concern.Trade for young pitching prospects and like the Braves and Reds have done.Get their minor league system straightened out.

NYSportsGuy210 · 06-17-11, 05:40 AM

Reyes is a dynamic player though and plays a position where it's hard to find many productive super stars these days in short stop. He is a rare type of player and I believe worth making an offer to if you are the Mets.

And I'll be happy if the Mets can land Montero and any other Yankees pitching prospect not named Betances or Banuelos. Doesn't matter to me as long as we get a catcher that can hit and build up the pitching in our farm system a little.

thompsontw · 06-17-11, 05:59 AM

I doubt he is getting a new contract out of the Mets so he will be a free agent.
If the Mets contend - which I doubt but the Wild Card could happen - then keep him. If not then before the trade deadline - ship him for prospects.

gryfyn1 · 06-17-11, 06:35 AM

the problem is that his current performance makes it harder to justify dealing without just giving a big middle finger to the fans.

Only a clueless GM would deal for Reyes based on his current trend, much as only a clueless GM would think that Reyes is playing on less than a 9 figure deal next year.

But the main crux is where the new CBA is headed, rumor is that FA compensation will be gone, meaning keeping Reyes is worth two less 1st round picks.

But overall, player rentals don't bring what they used to, no one is giving a huge package for Reyes, no one is giving multiple top tier prospects, grabbing an A and a B level prospect would be a huge coup given the current value giving to in season trades.

Rollins08 · 06-17-11, 06:45 AM

You can't find players like Reyes. It would be a mistake to let him go. The Mets need to add players, if there losing money now and they get rid of their stars nobody is going to make the trip to queens.

Ninersnut · 06-17-11, 06:46 AM

Need to trade him if they keep blowing games like that.

billy18067 · 06-17-11, 08:03 AM

if your gonna trade him the time is definately now your gonna get best value for him but isn't really in the mets best interests to trade him i dont think so but we will see how it plays out

VegasInsider · 06-17-11, 08:11 AM

Trade him to the Sox for Jed Lowrie and prospects

EDDIE MONEY LINE · 06-17-11, 09:07 AM

I really hope the Mets can keep him if he wants to continue to play like he is now...I say trade D. Wright, as 3rd basement are easier to come by. SS that can hit are a hotter commodity.

We'll see what happens, but I like the young starting pitchers the Mets have and I also like some of the young position players they are starting to mix in.

Galante118 · 06-17-11, 09:47 AM

trading him is retarted. the mets are only 4 games out of the wild card for starters and thats with 2 of their best bats being injured. wright and davis were playing pretty damn good (wright before he fractured his back or whatever then kept playing) before they were hurt. keep in mind at some point johan comes back at some point who is the staffs ace. they're really not that far off. reyes makes 11 million a year and we get rid of castillos, beltrans, and oliver perezs contracts all come off the books next year, we cant afford another 4 million or so a year? easily we can. look at the money crawfords makin, reyes stats are very similar (career wise this year he shits on carl) and he plays the most important defensive position in baseball and plays it well. the man deserves to be paid and if we dont someone else will like SF.

Stacocakes · 06-17-11, 01:01 PM

Teams are probably scared to give Reyes a long term deal. Probably a player that will coast and get injured once he has a long term deal. Should trade him since his value will never be more then it is now
