The New York Mets once let a franchise player walk. Different era, different player, different financial commitment. This time the price was right, and free agent Jose Reyes is once again a Met.
No, Jose Reyes is no longer the player he was in 2006 when he hit .300 and swiped 64 bags or in 2011 when he won the first batting title in Mets history and they let him walk. While Reyes hasn’t been an All-Star since then, the Mets made a solid move and this time brought back a solid player when they re-signed Reyes for another season at the bargain basement price of $2 million.
