Joel Sherman doesn’t think Reyes will be back (via the Post)
One Mets executive said of Reyes, “I don’t think it is happening with the shortstop.”
..
One team executive fretted, “we already have too much payroll tied up in too few players.” 3) The belief that at least one club will ignore Reyes’ troubling leg history and make an offer he can’t refuse. As a Mets official said: “Someone always comes up with a reason to look past the problems and be that one team that blows away the field. Heck, we’ve done it.” My suspicion is the Mets don’t want to offer more than four years with an option. But with Florida, Washington, Atlanta and Milwaukee as potential strong pursuers, Reyes just might get in the six-year, $114 million-plus range.
Were Reyes to leave, Wright becomes the last of the 2006 Mets.
My suspicions are confirmed…Sandy boy really knows what he’s doing.
