Reyes Won't Take Hometown Discount To Stay With Mets

As of 12:01 this morning, Jose Reyes entered the free agent market.

According to Mike Puma of the NY Post, Reyes will not accept a hometown discount to remain with the Mets.

A person close to Reyes told The Post there is almost no chance the shortstop will accept a hometown discount to remain with the Mets. A second person, who regularly spends time with Reyes, indicated the fact the Mets probably aren’t on the cusp of playoff contention may kill the team’s chances of re-signing Reyes.

Well that doesn't sound like good news for the Mets, seeing as how they probably won't present Reyes with the best offer.

Let the Jose sweepstakes begin!
