Mets To Select Denyi Reyes

By Anthony Franco | August 11, 2023 at 9:36pm CDT

The Mets will start right-hander Denyi Reyes in the first game of tomorrow’s doubleheader with Atlanta, the team informed reporters (including Tim Healey of Newsday). Since Reyes isn’t on the 40-man roster, New York will officially select his contract before the game.

Reyes made six appearances for New York earlier this season. An offseason minor league pickup, he made it to majors by the first week of the year. Reyes was on and off the active roster for the next couple months before being designated for assignment on July 4 and subsequently waived.

The 6’4″ hurler has allowed five runs in 7 1/3 innings over his big league work thus far. He has started 13 of 15 outings for Triple-A Syracuse, pitching to a 5.77 ERA through 64 innings. A sky-high 2.39 homers per nine innings has been the main culprit for the lackluster run prevention, although his 17.7% strikeout rate is a few points below average.

Reyes is a solid strike-thrower who’s capable of working multiple innings either out of the rotation or long relief. The Mets are headed into day two of a stretch of 14 games in 13 days. New York has a full 40-man roster, so they’ll need to make a corresponding transaction to accommodate his promotion.

    I believe eventually Cohen will get it right; he’s already shown good business smarts in quickly reversing course on a disastrous misallocation of resources and pivoting to use his main asset, money, to improve his overall talent base and farm. I’m not quite sure why many people think he also punted on ’24, because the ’24 Mets will almost certainly be better, younger, hungrier and more of a contender than the sad-sack, underachieving ’23 Mets. ‘

      At least the Mets reloaded with a bunch of young prospects that will be eager to prove they can play in the big leagues. Something the Yankees should have done with their aging roster this past deadline.

      I just disagree on calling it a “disastrous misallocation of resources” after netting Acuna, Gilbert, and Clifford. The Mets could have won in these deals 2 ways, and could have lost them in 2 ways.
      If either pitcher got injured long term, or if the Mets sucked and Cohen traded them for scraps to relieve salary, the Mets would have lost, badly.

      If the Mets played to maximum potential and won the world series, it’s an obvious win.
      They sucked instead, and Cohen (who promised to build his new team into a more sustainable winner by building through his farm system) traded them for 2 top 100 prospects and 1 who’s on the cusp of joining the list. Cohen used his deep pockets to:
      1. Sell a ton of merchandise, and
      2. Buy 3 really good prospects and turn the Mets farm system into one of the best in baseball in the blink of an eye. That’s a win, too. Just not the win fans were hoping for as the season started.

        interesting take. not sure I disagree but do wonder about the actual #s on whether “selling a ton of merch” offsets paying the money for the 2 aces to play for other teams. Add that bizarre Chris Flexen direct pay to buy a reliever and I’d hope that the “Phil Michelson betting strategy” (He placed $110,000 bets to win $100,000 a staggering 1,115 times.)” is the best case scenario for Cohen’s investment. add a mess of zeros and recapture way less in merch and turnstile income.

        I do completely agree with you that Cohen’s biggest asset is just money so the prospects including Acuna’s brother are just a straight buy.

        I’m rooting that all this works for the Mets. it’s interesting to consider that when you are that rich, that there is really not a bad signing that will cripple your franchise. imagine a miscalculation like these and how long it would take to recover if this had happened in Milwaukee or Cincy.

        the Mets could be in it as soon as next year, even in the tough NL East.

          That the Mets would be only 2-3 games out of the wildcard had they just gone 6-6 in their last 12 games only highlights how absurd their chaotic bouncing around has been.

      I agree with this analysis. It’s a shame they didn’t have this attitude two years ago. Could also have PCA in their farm system. Cohen was owner then but with a different GM. They underperformed but were still in it and went for it by trading PCA for two months of Baez. To say that move didn’t work out is an understatement and I think Cohen learned his lesson. Nice to see him recognize that the team wasn’t going to magically get better this year and decide to let Eppler make some moves to plan for the future.

      Was this season a big disappointment? Sure was. But they made some great moves for the future. Would have been nice to also acquire some pitching prospects but oh well.

        Kelenic was another deal (the year prior) that I wished they didn’t do. Strategically, I think they’re trying to field hitters as opposed to pitchers – easier to tell if they’ll materialize as opposed to pitchers who are more difficult to forecast and risk of injury. Signing proven free agent pitchers, as they have, seems to be their preference. Next two years have an abundance of pitchers that I’d suspect they’ll pursue.

    Kinda sad that a team with a 400 million dollar payroll has had to actually rely on guys this season like Denyi Reyes, Danny MenDick, Zach Muckenhirn, Edwin Ucenta, Dennis Santana, Drew Smith, TJ McFarland, Jonothan Arruez, Michael Perez, Darin Ruf, Daniel Vogelbach, Carlos Carrasco, etc. Only one GM in all of baseball could mess this up, Silly Eppler. The fact that this guy has a job is astonishing. In the great words of the Astros owner “I’ve never seen anything like this before”. Thats code for “we ripped Billy Eppler off, I can’t believe we fooled the Mets into paying 50 mil for someone to play for our team”. This guy just keeps on getting taken to the cleaners. I’m not going to harp a lot on this next point as I think its just coincedence but if you look at all these prospects Eppler traded for, they are all doing horrible as a Mets prospects compared to their prior organizations. Probably because they are still ajusting to a new environment but still its just funny. What can this man possibly do right? Everything he touches turns to crap. Out of every move hes ever made as a Mets GM, I could say I only liked one move, him signing Tommy Pham. I’m not counting minor league signings like Voit and Sanchez because he didnt even give them a chance. Vogelbach got a golden sombreo tonight. A competent GM would of cut their losses and just got rid of him as soon as the game was over. Look at Holderman, JD Davis, and Dom Smith. All guys Eppler got rid of. All three of these guys would be upgrades to almost anyonenon the Mets. Heck Dom Smith’s batting average would be the highest on the Mets. You can’t let clowns like Eppler run your organization. It stinks from top to bottom. Garentee if the Mets fire him tonight, they would playing over .500 ball the rest of the way

      The only thing they’re “relying” on those guys to do is lose games. They have given up on this season and acquired a ton of young talent for the farm system. They’re now tanking because if they get the 6th pick or higher in the draft, they won’t have to drop ten spots due to their payroll.

      “Garentee if the Mets fire him tonight, they would playing over .500 ball the rest of the way”

      This makes absolutely no sense because the same players would be out on the field the rest of the way.

        @rct
        he only cherry picks things and even ignores things he said that makes him look bad.and will never admit to being wrong

        At the start of the season he said i dont know why they got Pham about a month into the season he said trade pham he is garbage now he is touting pham

        he talked about how great brigham is and the only deal he liked of epplers now doesnt acknowledge it. Brigham never showed anything outside of mopup work and even now looking at his recent AAA stats and game logs i wouldnt be surprised if he gets demoted to AA or even single A. Its crazy they are picking at the bottom of the barrel and still wont call him up even though he is on the 40 man.

        he talks how great a hitter sanchez is but says how bad lindor is even though Lindor is tops in many categories and producing more. Because “Lindor doesnt clutch hit” ( which lately he hasnt) but Sanchez has been even less clutch and literally went over a month with out a homerun and in most instances 0 for. Sanchez has his one or two streaks a year which i said when he went to the padres then might as well have a cardboard cutout batting and behind the plate.

        Holderman and Smith are actually not that far off from each other except Holderman is the setup and Smith bounces around. Though in his mind Smith is absolute garbage that doesnt belong in mlb and Holderman is an ace reliever in his mind.

        I still laugh how he said Bednar and Iglesias would not cost much at all to get lol

        i blame a lot of this season on the batting coach, guys are hitting way below their normals across the board. Especally when you compare to last year. For everyone to drop 30-40 points in batting average most against career norms says something. Eppler didnt really help the cause but honestly with what cohen wanted and what was available and all the pitching holes he did pretty much what most gms would have done.

          Thank god, the only move that i liked. Leone is one of the worst pitchers in the game. Good job Billy, you finally made a move that I liked. He could of gotten a bag of chips for Leone and I would of been happy either way

          your comment from the Leone trade. …There are many times before that with you saying the exact same thing not liking any of his other transactions except this one for xx … he is horrible .. FIRE EPPLER Smith is garbge … Preller amazing gm .. etc etc

          @Roll I ment the only move I liked in terms of the trading deadline. Also Drew Smith does suck, he blows every close game and pitches well in garbage time. As for Preller, hes assembled one of the best modern teams I’ve ever seen. The Padres are historically bad this year at hitting with RISP. To put this in perspective the Padres spent around 100 mil less than the Mets this year. The Padres have Machado, Soto, Bogaerts, Kim, Tatis, Hader, Darvish, Snell, Cronenworth, Musgrove, etc. while the Mets trot out guys like Vogelbach, DJ Stewart, Rafael Ortega, Drew Smith, Reed Garrett, Jonathon Arrauz, etc. There is no comparison. I’ll take Preller any day of the week over any other GM in baseball (other than Anthro)

      I’d take that bet. Even if the Mets could hire AA tomorrow, there’s no way they play .500 ball the rest of the season. This roster, especially the pitching staff, is a train wreck and the GM would make 0 impact on how they would play on the field.

      Mets are in tank mode now, trying to secure the best draft pick they can get, but it will most likely be moved down 10 spots due to their payroll. At least they received some good prospects out of this mess of a season.
