Jose Reyes agreed to sign with the Miami Marlins for six years, $106 million.
He chased the money.
I don't blame the Mets ownership. I don't blame Sandy Alderson. At the end of the day, Reyes had complete control over the situation. If he really wanted to stay in New York, he would have. Instead, he went where the money is. That's baseball.
The Mets never made an offer to Reyes. They had to have known early on that they had no chance of re-signing Reyes. I have no problem with the team for not making an offer. Why waste anybody's time, and why bother making an offer that will be guaranteed to be rejected.
I know Mets fans are depressed, but get over it. It's not the end of the world. Life will go on. Remember, the Mets have won nothing, NOTHING, with Reyes during his nine years here.
Also, I don't know about you, but I'll be glad that I'll no longer have to hold my breath every time Reyes runs around the bases wondering if his hamstring is going to explode.
While Mets fans are quick to hand over the World Series trophy to the Marlins on this deal alone, take a step back and remember that they've won nothing yet. In fact, they're already losers with those new uniforms.
What a loser.
ReplyDeleteMets: 70-92 next season.
Attendance dropped in 2011 by 7% . . .
2012 attendance will drop by another 10% over 2011's numbers.
This pathetic organization's going nowhere slowly. Maybe back when I was a kid goin' to both Mets & Yanks games, I shoulda chosen the Yanks. Letting go of the most exciting player in baseball!!?!? Just pathetic. But i guess Jose didn't like Queens enough, no loyalty. Fine. Whatever. Loser. Hope he gets hurt in Spring Training and never plays another regular season inning ever again.
P.S. Technically he's takin' his loser ass to Little Havana where the new stadium is.
