Jose Reyes Rumors: Monday

By Tim Dierkes | November 14, 2011 at 8:17pm CDT

The latest on free agent shortstop Jose Reyes…

  • The Tigers like Reyes, but don't expect to sign him, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (on Twitter).
  • Heyman hears that Reyes is the Brewers' top target (Twitter link).
  • Mets GM Sandy Alderson said he has spoken with agent Peter Greenberg since Reyes visited the Marlins last week, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin. Greenberg is currently out of the country, so he won't be meeting with teams at this week's GM Meetings. "I still think it’s early, notwithstanding all the background noise from the last week," Alderson said.
  • Brewers GM Doug Melvin told reporters, including Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, that he has spoken with Reyes' representatives and hasn't decided whether to initiate more talks (Twitter link).
  • "There is an expectation [the Marlins] will work something out with Reyes for something in the range of five years, $18-20MM a year," said ESPN's Buster Olney on Sportscenter.  Olney sees the Marlins as Reyes' most aggressive suitor.
  • The Marlins are very confident on signing Reyes, a baseball source tells Kevin Burkhardt of SNY (Twitter link).  Burkhardt says not to be shocked if Hanley Ramirez winds up in center field if the Marlins sign Reyes.
  • One executive interested in Reyes told Joel Sherman of the New York Post Reyes is targeting a minimum of $100MM (Twitter link).

    moving him to center instead of third sounded like trouble to me at first, but if he returns to .375-.400 wOBA form he’ll be extremely valuable even if his defense is lacking

      he’s a one of a kind talent. when healthy he can only be compared to crawford or ellsbury. he plays short stop which gives him an advantage over those two. people are going to drive the price beyond what hes worth just because of that

    I would move Hanley to second which might alleviate a little pressure. Also could make him a little more valuable as a power hitting second basemen. Then you can find a cheap stopgap until Dominguez matures.

      Reyes to SS, Hanley to 3B, Cespedes to CF… Infante is 2B.  1B is a wild card with the whole Pujols thingy.  I still see Gaby traded no matter what by opening day for pitching. 1B is either a “splash” signing, or LoMo–his natural position with Coghlan or Bonifacio in the OF.

            I see Infante as more of a UT and would move him to 3rd while Dominguez spends some time getting adjusted. Finding a heavy hitting 3B is easier than a middle of the bat 2B. But I can see either way.

      so if this happens (and i am being theoretical so no need for the “thats a stupid idea” comments) could hanley possibly move to 1st base? isn’t that where everyone hides bad fielders (ie miguel cabrera). maybe sign a guy like aramis ramirez? the infield could be ramirez reyes infante ramirez from right to left and the outfield could be some combo of lomo coghlan stanton? if this works out they could trade dominguez for starting pitching, just theoretical at tis point (especially the aramis ramirez part)

    Move him to the mets for D. Wright. Both teams get what they want. Marlins get Reyes and a good 3rd baseman. And the Mets get a good young ticket seller to replace Reyes. I think it’s win win.

    Hold on, Hanley in CF? The man is too slow and big to be effective there. That’s what’s been hurting him at SS. Unless he decides to sacrifice some power and lose 20-30 pounds to get some speed back, 3B is more probable than CF. The Marlins already have some speedy guys that can take over there anyway (Bonifacio, Coghlan).

      Hey.. He has been playing SS with a glove almost big enough to play the OF for years.. Stick him in the OF and then his double clutches on throws (when he loses the ball inside that huge thing) will not occur nearly as often at least.

      Side note.. All this talk of moving Ramirez/signing Reyes might take Bonifacio out of the lineup.. They get a decent SS and lose one of the best offensive players from the 2011 season? Boni already has proved in the past he is a horrible 3B.. Sure, Coghlan can move around, but they have to find some place for Boni.

    Sign Reyes. Move Hanley to third. Put Bonifacio in center. Sign Buehrle. Sign Zach Duke or Aaron Harang. Sign Broxton or K-Rod or keep Oviedo/Nunez. Keep LoMo and Gaby unless Pujols somehow decides he wants to play in Miami. The outlier to all this, for me, is Cespedes. If Cespedes signs with the Fish then he plays LF and then I’d trade Gaby for either an arm or a prospect.

      That would be a very solid off season. I think Broxton’s arm is pretty done so I’d probably keep Oviedo/Nunez as the closer and send that group out there with cheap bench options. That’s the realistic best-case scenario in my opinion.

        Only reason I said Broxton is because he’s probably the cheapest option other than Oviedo/Nunez but if they could find a guy who wants to take a decent contract for a few years to be the closer (Nathan, Capps, K-Rod, Madson, etc.) I’d be fine with that but if not Oviedo/Nunez is a decent option..and they certainly could do worse.

          I think you’re right about Broxton being the cheapest option, but its for a reason. K-Rod probably wants more money than he’s worth, but he might be able to be had reasonably if he doesn’t sign early, as with Nathan and Capps. Depending on how this winter shakes out, the Marlins could be a serious contender- add Buehrle and Reyes, LoMo bounces back, Hanley does decently at 3B and this team is very dangerous

    I definetely don’t watch enough Marlins baseball to know what positions they need to fix or help, but IMO it seems like they already have a very good SS in Hanley Ramirez. If it were up to me I’d be trying to sign either Pujols or Fielder and maybe Buerhle as a top priority instead of Jose Reyes, especially considering how much money it will take to sign Reyes. All of that aside, Jose Reyes is a huge impact player and will help any team he signs with if he stays healthy. I really doubt the Marlins will be able to sign either Fielder or Pujols and Reyes though.

        Yeah but I think Pujols/Fielder is actually worth the money considering how injury prone Jose Reyes is. Just look at my Twins and how much money they’ve invested into Mauer and Morneau and neither have contributed to the team in over a year it seems. Their huge contracts are restricting the Twins from signing some other free agents who aren’t injury prone. But yeah if the Marlins have other good 1B options than they should definetly invest in other positions.

    I’m still saying the Brewers get Reyes. Their window to win is still very much open, but that offense is going to miss Fielder. Having a highly competent lead-off hitter in Reyes will help.
    I “think” Reyes would prefer to play for a team with a chance to win soon, rather than an unknown quantity in Miami.

      Without Fielder the Brewers have no shot at winning. They’re pitching is mediocre with some decent and overrated guys. They really have no one outside of Braun. Hart, Weeks, Morgan, Betancourt, McGehee are not that great at all. Sorry. However, I do agree with the Marlins being an “unknown quantity” because they could be a playoff contender or finish last place like this year, depending on who they bring in.

        So how many wins was Fielder worth over Reyes?  Because their mediocre team won 96 games last year.  They’re probably better this year with Reyes and a decent 1b (Carlos Pena maybe) than they were with Fielder and Betancourt. 

        But maybe I’ll just take your word for it.

    Not sure I like the idea of Hanley in center.  I would prefer to see them move him to left field, move LoMo to 1B and trade Gaby.  IF by some chance they actually sign Pujols or Fielder (which I am just having a hard time seeing) then I would move Hanley to 3B and keep LoMo in left.
