Jose Reyes has been offered a six-year, $90 million dollar
deal, this according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FoxSports.com. This may actually be good for the Mets, as
it is somewhat of a compromise between Jose’s two desired contract parameters:
five or six years, and at least $100 million. Reyes has reportedly felt he’s
worth $20 million a year, and this deal would only give him $15 million.
This
monetary shortcoming can most likely be explained by the Marlins’ low payroll,
and their current pursuit of other major free agents, reportedly Albert Pujols, Mark Buerhle, and Ryan
Madson.
Another
uncertain report, once again by Dino
Costa of Sirius XM, said that Reyes had signed with the Rockies on a
7-year, $140 million deal. However, nothing ever developed of that report, and
at this point it appears to have been a publicity stunt.
The credible
report about a Marlins offer is reason to look up for Mets fans. The past
couple days, plenty of positive news has come out of the plethora of rumors
about Jose.
