Mets Rumors: Reyes, Wilpon, Hampson

By Mike Axisa | February 16, 2011 at 6:46pm CDT

Here's the latest from Flushing…

  • SI.com's Jon Heyman hears that Bud Selig will give the Wilpons time to work through their Madoff-related issues, but there is real concern that they will not be able to keep the team in the end (Twitter links).
  • Jose Reyes told ESPN New York's Adam Rubin that he prefers to wait until after the season to talk about a contract extension. "You know, this is my first time I'm going to be a free agent," said Reyes. "So I don't know what's going to happen, to be honest with you."
  • Reyes later joked with MLB.com's Anthony DiComo about having a hard deadline for contract talks, saying "I'm not Albert Pujols, man." (Twitter link) Yesterday we heard that the two sides were unlikely to talk about a contract before Opening Day.
  • Team owner Jeff Wilpon reiterated today that they are not going to sell controlling interest in the team, reports Andy Martino of The New York Daily News. "It's not on the table," said Wilpon.
  • Rays owner Stuart Sternberg is not interested in buying the Mets, tweets Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe. Sternberg has New York roots and has been speculated as a potential buyer.
  • Baseball America's Matt Eddy reports that the Mets have signed lefty reliever Justin Hampson (on Twitter). The 29-year-old last appeared in the big league with the Padres in 2008. He spent last season with the independent Long Island Ducks.

    Having the Mets run even close to how the Rays were run in the past few years would turn the team around and make Sternberg a hero!

    I didn’t know you can own two teams in the same league, though… Wait, can you?!

      He would have to sell the Rays to complete the move, or at very least just retain a non-influential stake on the team (see Jeff Moorad’s case) as per regulations against conflicts of interests between the teams.

        Can an owner have majority share in two teams, one in the NL and the other in the AL?

    “Pujols” and “Flushing” sounds like a match made in heaven. Make me chuckle, whoever buys the Mets from the twits who aren’t selling the Mets.
