I know you guys look forward to hearing from Ken Rosenthal during Fox broadcasts of Mets games, so I thought you’d like to know that Ken thinks the Mets should trade Reyes now.
While April 19th seems early, maybe 10-20 record won’t be. If Sandy is going to rip off the band-aid, why wait until July and have a summer of distracting drama (oh wait, this is the Mets, that will happen anyway) when you can get that over with on May 10th?
Unless you think .590 ball is here to stay.
Now I lived through 1977 so I assure you that neither the Reyes Drama nor the After Effect will be pleasurable. It’s just a matter of where to split the season. The only way out is to announce Reyes has re-signed and I doubt either party will do that in season.
At 11-5 this would be a non-story (at least for another 2 months). At 5-11 expect to hear lots of this.
One gleam of hope Mets fans – remember a fellow named Nomar Garciapara? Leader of the Red Sox? You know, that inept franchise that never won? Check his baseball card.
