Reyes gets s*** on so much that people forget how f***ing exciting it was to get him. 10 WAR in less than two seasons before the trade.

 

I think Reyes will do better with a change of scenery, but he won't get back to that level

There's no reason for us to trade away Reyes for Tulo and then not keep Tulo. Think logically for a second here people.

 

Yeah, it would be shocking if he was flipped. They're not going to roll with Goins at short.

Dude you are seriously an idiot. Reyes was still a top 5 SS at the time of the trade

 

Reyes with the Marlins wasn't the peak Reyes with the Mets. His hamstring injuries already turned him into a mediocre defender and his best offensive days were behind him. Im not one of those guys that shits on Reyes all time, i don't even mind but he wasn't the equivalent of Tulo now. If you look at that trade we didn't give up prospects for him, the surplus value was for Johnson, how the f*** is any of this similar to that trade?

If there is, they are taking Reyes... Which might mean a guy like Richard Urena would be included in the deal.

 

I could see the Dodgers wanting Reyes

Ugh, I need to work tomorrow, but don't want to go to bed and miss the details.

 

Same, but this is serious business here.

You're underestimating the player Reyes was at the time. He was a 4-5 win player. And you have no idea what they would have had to move for Reyes alone.

and was a year younger than Tulo is right now. Tulo won't ever be hated here though...cause he's white.

And it's not like Tulo to third party team wouldn't be the biggest headline here, Rosenthal would've been all over it.

Reyes is past his prime. Lets hope Tulo has a bit more in the tank than Reyes did

Jose Reyes likely to be flipped by #Rockies. Colorado has highly regarded shortstop prospect Trevor Story at Triple-A.

Tulo misses 70 games in his age 32 season while his defense slides and he puts up 1 win for $20M... the hate will be real.

I don't hate Reyes he is just not that good anymore, Tulo is.

Yeah I don't see the Rockies keeping Reyes. Doesn't make sense. I'm sure he gets flipped somewhere.

I think you're overestimating what he was, his final year with the Mets was good but mostly BABIP driven. His 2010 season was mediocre and he was injured for almost all of 2009. So before the trade Reyes only had one really good season in the previous four, Tulo has had three if we're penalizing both guys for injuries. We'll have to agree to disagree if you think Reyes at the time of the trade was as valuable as Tulo is now.

I could see Edwin going to Cleveland for one of their pitchers and one of their relievers. They have depth in both the rotation and bullpen.

Reyes was terrible. Forget the stats, this guy didn't take the game seriously.

 

I'll never forget when he threw away our win streak. Any time this team started to get some where there was Reyes.

 

Reyes = Curse in the club house. Constantly fighting with Donaldson, creating a culture of separation. I would have paid $50 MIl to never see his ugly mug again. For me no other player is the reason for the disappointments of the least three years than Reyes. I'll never forget Jays were about the to go on a really big streak, and the guy just stopped paying attention to the ball. Its like his mind just goes elsewhere. Killed the streak. Killed the season. Garbage player.
