Reyes joining Miami
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/731660...jose-reyes
Happy to see him get a fair deal but being a Mets fan just went from bad to unbearable. My favorite player is gone and we will probably finish last in the east...And seriously, he would have had to of been on crack to stay in Ponzi city.
Player collecting Dominic Smith

RE: Reyes joining Miami
...best part was how Hanley Ramirez referred to him as, basically just, "another good [offensive] player" in another interview.

RE: Reyes joining Miami
oh, is it already time for the marlins to buy a bunch of players, win a championship, then dump all those players, like they did in 1997 and 2003?

RE: Reyes joining Miami
Im pissed that he left, but i wdnt have signed him for 18 mil a year over six years. Thats absurd for him. The mets will get 2 nice picks from the marlins in the draft, and if wright and santana start off strong id dump them at the all star break and get as much young talent as possible. Given a few years to develop , by the time they are ready maybe the mets will be out of this financial mess they are in and they can go out and grab a few nice free agents to pair with the young guys and build something. They were gonna suck anyway, id rather not have that giant contract hindering them in the future when they can suck just as much without him.

I have to agree with you, 18 mil for 6 years? I hate to see Reyes go also, I've been one of his fans since he was in the minors. But 18 mil and 6 years gets age and blown hamstrings with a huge contract.
