For the past couple days, the Jose Reyes rumor mill has been re-ignited. Reports yesterday from Sports Illustrated’s Joel Sherman said that the Milwaukee Brewers will meet with Reyes’
agents sometime this week. Early signs have made it appear unlikely that the
Brewers are seriously pondering a Reyes signing, and up until now the Mets and Marlins have been the only two teams
seriously in the running.
The Marlins have
also upped their game and, according ESPNDeportes,
increased their offer $111 million over 6 years. This offer had many
sources saying that an official Reyes-Marlins signing is extremely imminent,
and could come as early as tonight. Adam
Rubin of ESPN New York has stated that when questioned about rumors of the
Marlins’ new offer, Sandy Alderson
responded that if the Marlins’ reported offer is accurate, then the Mets are
out of the bidding. Not long thereafter, Buster
Olney of ESPN said that the Marlins have finalized a deal with Jose.
Many other sources have come forward reporting a
Marlins-Reyes agreement, but as we’ve seen before nobody can be %100 trusted in
this business.
