Mets Morning News: Einhorn, Reyes, And Carter

According to Adam Rubin, David Einhorn may have the opportunity in the future to acquire majority ownership of the team.
"Einhorn has agreed in principle to purchase roughly 33 percent of the team for $200 million, which will infuse cash and keep the organization solvent in the immediate future. In three years, according to the source, Einhorn has an option to up his stake to 60 percent, although principal owner Fred Wilpon and his family have an opportunity to block Einhorn from gaining that majority stake."
Stever Serby of the New York Post sat down for a Q & A with Jose Reyes, in which he discusses free agency, his best and worst moments as a Met, and playing in New York.In regard to fans not wanting him to leave, Reyes says:
"They just want me here, because they know I play the game the right way, and I try to give you everything that I have to this team, and to put a good show on the field. I'm the guy who plays hard every single day so I think the fans like that. When you give 100 percent every day, everybody's going to like that. They see me healthy now. . . . This year they see the real Jose Reyes."
Gary Carter's tumors are most likely inoperable, according to the Post.
"The nature of Gary Carter's fight against brain cancer became more clear yesterday, when the family was told by doctors they were '99 percent sure' the Hall of Famer has a Grade 4 Glioblastoma and that it is likely inoperable."
