Back in the Mets days people would get mad at me because although I understood the Reyes Fantasy which is how he would walk, steal second and third and score on a sacrifice, I found it didn’t happen when I watched. I guess the gang in Toronto feel the same.
Fun player, sure. Ran out of town on us in a heartbeat despite how much you hate the Wilpons? Yep. (One AB in the last game and signed at 12:01am, that’s not exactly Tom Seaver crying at his locker.)
Anyway, as mad as you are at me right now, here’s a good read. Thanks to Greg Prince for tweeting this one. You can ask Greg his opinion, he’s quite good at words.
Jose Reyes, the main ingredient of the Blue Jays-Marlins blockbuster, was supposed to be in Toronto for the long haul.
