The biggest name of the bunch is, of course, Jose Reyes, but it will certainly be interesting to see what the team does with Capuano and Hairston.  I wouldn’t mind seeing both return to roles similar to 2011 but for Capuano, who proved to be healthy and productive (though somewhat inconsistent), the price tag may have gone up a bit.

Seven Mets now Free agents...

Via Mets Fever  |  October 30, 2011
The union published an official list of free agents, which included seven Mets from the 2011 roster. Of course, the biggest name on our list is Jose Reyes, the others were all minor role players on a mediocre team so I don't think any of them are significant loses. Where do I stand on Jose Reyes, I'd like to see him return but not at any cost. At one point I thought five...

Well the World Series is finally over. The parade is over.  No more baseball until next spring!!! ARGGGH!!!.  As we head into our last couple of days before we change the clocks back and get thrown into darkness until early next year  we wonder the fate of our shortstop.  The Mets have a couple of days to bargain with Reyes and his agent and there is some rumors that the Mets will not take

Fan Shot: Seems Like Old Times

Via Mets Merized Online  |  October 29, 2011
While the Mets embark upon a future that may not include all-star shortstop and fan favorite Jose Reyes, I can’t help but notice how oddly familiar this all seems. The drama of potentially losing the face of the franchise and the intense media build-up leading up to his final moments, is something that many of us old-timers have seen before. I know that most of you reading...

Jose Reyes officially became a free agent for the first time yesterday, and that doesn't figure to change anytime soon. The Mets' five-day window to exclusively negotiate with the All-Star shortstop ends at midnight on Thursday, when Reyes and his agents can find out what other teams think he...

Mets once thought 5 years for Jose, now it’s 4

In talking to people close to the team, I believe Joel Sherman of the New York Post is correct when he reported last week that the Mets are likely to offer Jose Reyes a four-year deal, which he’ll probably view as ‘modest,’ like Andy Martino of the Daily News said this morning. Based on what I’m hearing from people around the game, the team and the player...
