There is the door, for years it had been shut keeping them in. It seems the New York Mets have unlocked the door and toyed with the notion of letting Jose Reyes and David Wright leave right through it.
There are multiple reports that allege the Mets are setting the stage to have the left side of their infield look extremely different next season.
If you thought things couldn't possibly be any worse for the mighty Mets, you would be wrong. The key bats in the lineup may soon feature on other National League teams as soon as next year.
The New York Daily News reports on a confounding strategy in respects to Jose Reyes. You know, that guy that just won the batting title.
Granted, the idea makes great sense, but I don't like it if they hope to retain Reyes. The Mets plan on low balling the star shortstop and let the market settle itself on Reyes' price tag.
What should then happen is a clamoring for Reyes services and the realization that he is indeed worth a boatload of money and that he could play for a real winner somewhere else.
We also have a report from The New York Post to consider. In a few short words, we see that the Mets we have known for a few years may be dead in the water.
A source close to the organization was cited in the following quote:
"We'll explore Wright's market. I think considering where we are as an organization, it would be foolish not to at least look at it. However, I expect actually pulling the trigger is a long shot."
The obvious thought is that a shakeup may be exactly what this team needs. As they maneuver past public financial difficulty, they may want to get smaller in the wallet and resemble a more Moneyball-type of franchise.
There are many that would find fault in giving Reyes a long deal considering his lingering injuries. However, I can't see how losing both Reyes and Wright helps in anyway.
The Mets are flirting with disaster as they ponder a life without their powerful infield players. That is a future that will have fans walking away in disgust.
