Yep. The one thing that can get guys like Upton heads screwed on right for a while is a nice payday waiting for them after the season.

Well there goes our ace.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

When is mlbtraderumors going to treat Scott Kazmir like a marquee pitching free agent that he is?

 

[Sanjuro]

Shoot, I was trying to tell him if he went to New York his 30 home runs turns into 40

 

[Doytch]

Wait, Damon signed with the Yanks again?

 

[Sanjuro]

Wait, Damon signed with the Yanks again?

If you ask Scott Boras, no.

 

[JABEE]

Can Ortiz go back on the PEDs again?

damon is going to re-sign with the Rays

WHAT

I doubt it, probably just Boras using the Jays to increase the price of his client as he knows the Jays don't deny rumours.

 

[BigJonsson]

Probably, and we all know that AA works in secrecy

Manny Ramirez has filed for reinstatement folks. I definitely missed him last year.

Wonder if he can work out some sort of deal with Selig. Currently isn't he riding the bench till August if he signs?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

At least since pregnancy is usually a 9 month process.

 

[Square Triangle]

Don't call it a comeback!

"Because he sat out the rest of last season, MLB is apparently going all sympathetic and open to halving his suspension to 50 games this season. Which would still make his being signed a long shot."

Scott Boras is out too.

According to ESPN, it's now a 50 game ban instead of 100

Phillies sign Laynce Nix to a two-year deal.

Marlins offer Reyes 6/111 with a 22 mil option for 7 (5 mil buyout), as per MLBtraderumors.

Bye Jose. And now the Mets get a 3rd round pick at best.

Being a Met fan- It builds character.

He's definitely going to be a Marlin and the mets should of traded him around the deadline.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

At least tickets will be cheap at Citi.

 

[Windu]

mets = last place

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yep, say bye bye to Reyes. Mets final offer to him was 6 years/$80 million.

Can't wait to see the Hanley/Ozzie discussion about him moving to third base.

 

[Sanjuro]

Reyes should take the deal and then hold out for more money. Just for the lulz.

 

[snack]

Prince Fielder, come to Toronto!

 

[Lambtron]

Miami better hurry up and sign him before the SEC freezes their assets!

 

[The Frankman]

Fuck it, go 5/95 and promise him a Skittles endorsement!

 

[Maxim726X]

If the Mets were going to max out at 90 (apparently never even got to that) then what the fuck was the point of not trading him?

Obviously someone was going to offer him over 100 million... Alderson is too smart for this. I blame the Wilpons.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

MLB agreed to shorten Manny's second suspension to 50 games since he sat out all last year. But he will still be permanently banned if he gets a third suspension.

 

[Nobility]

Just here to say: Please come to Toronto, Fielder.

Also, Marlins need to bid big now on everyone before SEC destroys the finances.

Even worse is the Mets are going to get a 3rd round pick as compensation because the Marlins also signed Heath Bell. They really should have traded him.

 

[Maxim726X]

I hope the Mets sign him.

At the very least, it would give me a reason to watch the Mets at all this season.

 

[Maxim726X]

Sandy's got a press conference at 9:00 tonight.

I hope it's something awesome, like an extension on Bay's contract or a 5 year deal for Mike Pelfrey.

If you are that jaded, why even watch the team? You're supposed to be optimistic in the off season and get more realistic as the season progresses.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Buster Olney is reporting that the Marlins and Jose Reyes have agreed on a 6-year, $110 million deal pending a physical. Hanley Ramirez will move to third base.

When healthy that left side of the infield is going to be amazing.

 

[Maxim726X]

I love my Mets, but there is no reason to watch the team this year, and anyone following the team knows that they're not going to sign anyone of note. Why wait to get more realistic? I'll just save myself the time.

I'm pissed that Alderson didn't do what he should have more than I am about Reyes signing elsewhere. Hopefully he does the right thing and trades Wright before the deadline and start over.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Now reports are saying that the Reyes deal is 6 years, $106 million pending a physical. No word on that 2018 $22 million option that was being discussed.

 

[Fox318]

Mets are the pre-Griffen Clippers.

hahahaha

 

[Maxim726X]

Mets are the pre-Griffen Clippers.

hahahaha

They've got some hope on the horizon in guys like Wheeler, Mejia, Familia, and Harvey- But yeah this team is going to be all kinds of awful for years.

Apparently he just said that they are not entertaining offers for Wright, too. Absolute disaster. Why keep Wright here, so the team will be in last by 10 games instead of 13?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Supposedly the Mets and K-Rod are talking about a reunion.

Heath Bell passed his physical so his deal is now official.

Why waste money on a closer? Just let Parnell blow the 6 games the Mets could close next season. Doesn't make sense.

 

[Y2Kev]

Wow, what a contract. Now he can go back to never playing.

also lol mets couldn't top 6/106

 

[Malo]

Apparently the deal doesn't include a no-trade clause.

 

[The Frankman]

Sources confirm Marlins/Reyes deal, for 6 years and just north of $100 mil. Will be finalized "within 24 hours" source says.

Alderson talking, nothing that contradicts earlier reports. Not saying expliticly, but knows Reyes is gone.
by surfingthemets via twitter 9:36 PM

Alderson confirms that if the offer is six years, $110 million for Reyes, that is beyond the Mets' threshold.
