I have no idea if the Mets would entertain trading Reyes, but I would love for the Cubs to pick him up and slot him at 2nd base with Castro.
We badly need more speed on the team and I think Reyes would hit well in the friendly confines.
I know the Mets are wanting Lilly, and maybe if we packaged Zambrano and/or Derrek Lee and/or some others, it would be nice to pull off some type of mega deal if the Mets could add viable pieces as well.

horrible

he’s a great defensive shortstop…despite his injuries he makes difficult plays look extremely routine…maybe when he’s in his mid 30s we can entertain this conversation again..but he’s not going anywhere…he is the mets
Ferrariman
actually he is not that great defensively.
is he a liability? no
is he an asset? no

Yes he’s an asset. You underestimate how few decent defensive shortstops there are.

Love José but I can think of a lot more important things the Mets should be worrying about….

Why would the mets move Reyes from short. He is at least an average defender at the position and has a career 4.2 UZR/150 there. He is at -1.4 there this year but that could be because he did not want to fully push his hamstring. Flores won’t be a SS and Tejada might not hit enough to be an everyday player. Why the Mets would even entertain the idea is stupid. His BB% should rise a little from the 5.6% it is at this year and reyes should provide a .750-.800 OPS.

To the naked eye Reyes has been stellar at short this year. His uzr is skewed a little I think because in the beginning of the season he was just getting his legs under him and playing in games for the first time in a year.

Right now the Mets have a lot more pressing needs than worrying about possibly, maybe, eventually, perhaps moving Reyes another position some day. What say we keep our focus on pitching that doesn’t come from the scrap heap…cause that’s where it’s at!
aap212
There are what, ten good legit shortstops in baseball who can hit a lick? Don’t move one!
Besides, Wilmer Flores is two years away and not a shortstop.

Reyes is on the verge of winning his first gold glove…..why on earth would the Mets consider moving him from shortstop

I’m not a Mets fan, in fact I hate them, but why would you move Reyes when he plays so well in his current position. Move the 18 year old guy to second base and you solve all you’re problems. If Reyes was not in his 20’s anymore, then I’d certainly understand.

This is complete BS. Don’t believe it for a second. I’m surprised this even got published.
