According to Jon Heyman the Mets will talk to Jason Isringhausen about returning but the offer will not be substantial. Last year Izzy had a nice comeback but as could be excepted he tired down the stretch and finished the season injured. I think I was most disappointed most with Izzy was his lack of impact on Parnell, I not saying he could have done anything better it's just disappointing that his mentor ship of the young reliever was ineffective.

Mets crumbling under Wilpons' debts
Among the events in Mets history that will live in infamy, Jose Reyes' defection to the Marlins ranks close to the top -- right there with the trade that sent Tom Seaver to the Reds in 1977.
Yes, it's true, Reyes is leaving of his own free will, signing a wildly overpriced six-year, $106 million contract. But his absence will be no less traumatic to Mets fans than Seaver...

Angel Pagan will probably be the leadoff hitter. Daniel Murphy would be next in line to hit leadoff.
Tejada will probably not hit leadoff to limit the pressure (being Reyes’ successor).
Daniel Murphy is the projected second baseman. But, Justin...

There was no “decision” on ESPN. Mets fans aren’t burning jerseys in the streets. None of the billboards in Time Square are being ripped down. In fact, the news came quietly on a night when most sports fans were glued to the NFL or their Fantasy Football teams.
But another star is coming to Miami.

Jose Reyes has left the New York Mets.He's on his way to the Miami Marlins, a franchise he once fought tooth and nail against (literally) on a six-year $106 million deal.

Mets moves not sexy, but make sense
DALLAS — None of this replaces Jose Reyes, especially when it comes to filling seats. No one ever bought a ticket to specifically watch Jon Rauch pitch.
But the Mets made a series of incremental moves yesterday designed to — at the least — bring competence and competitiveness to their 2012 team while...
Was Jose Reyes Worth The Money?
After writing previously that the Marlins might be spending on the wrong things after the Heath Bell signing, of course, the Marlins prove everyone wrong and go out and sign Jose Reyes to a pretty big deal: six years at $106 million guaranteed, with an option for a seventh year as the Marlins pay Reyes big time money for him to man the 6-hole into his age 35 season. The contract...
