i believe they are trying to cut payroll a ridiculous amount....wouldn't signing him be the exact opposite?
and why would he sign an extension now, with a poor team, right before he hits free agency?
There were rumors last week that they were holding "secret" negotiations and going to make him a big offer. The Mets are trying to shed payroll in the right places, I think. It sounds like their financial situation has gotten a lot better recently.
They aren't going to just shed payroll and not be compeititve, especially with the Einhorn cash, they just have to spend more wisely, which it looks like they are trying to do.

i know about the secret talks. thought they were mostly rumors since they said they weren't going to talk about the contract to the media anymore though.
other than him being scared about getting a huge deal due to his yearly injuries, i think he'll look at the deals werth and crawford got last year and test the market. it's not like he's thinking about resigning with a perenial contender or something. giants will definitely have interest. guy's having a phenomenal contract year. be stupid to resign without seeing what else is out there.

But none of us have any idea what the Mets are willing to offer, who knows what substantial offer means to the Mets, I sure as hell don't. Maybe they blow him away.

blown away, i would think, would be werth and crawford money--which they said they were not going to offer.

we'll see.
That was just Wilpon saying that in the unfortunate New Yorker article, right? Things have completely changed since then. I would peg it at 75% he stays with the Mets, their financial situation is much better, they are out from K-Rod next year, he is the fans favorite and is having a big year. I think they are going to work to build around him.

75%? wow. think it's a bit lower than that.
mets financial situation is still uncertain at best right now. sure they have a lot coming off the books next year...but there's still reyes; in a contract year, having a career year. i doubt the mets turn around and offer him crawford/werthy money during the season.
i'd be surprised if he doesn't test the market this offseason.
think i heard they were lower level prospects. they could obviously turn into something at some point though.
is reyes next?
To be gone? Beltran is definitely next. Saved $17.5 on KRod next year.
beltran stays for the season unless sandy gets a good offer. sandy isn't gonna trade away the team leader for next to nothing. i feel boston or another AL team would be the best choice for him. he'd be a good RF/DH
But none of us have any idea what the Mets are willing to offer, who knows what substantial offer means to the Mets, I sure as hell don't. Maybe they blow him away.
reyes signs with the mets for 6 year 100 mil
he's not gonna get crawford unless some idiot owner like the nats owner throws him a werth contract. teams aren't gonna sign him to a huge contract based on potential, they're gonna sign him on what he's done and that's not being healthy the past few seasons. also lets not forget bout the injuries earlier in his career.
btw- it's really great to read the news that Gary Carter is doing better
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?

I do think 75%, I just think it's in their best interest and that they will get it done.
Alright, so this is a bit of quoting headlines that I have seen recently and not reading entire articles but for one, the Einhorn cash helped a lot, yeah, they are cutting costs from next year, but where I think I read they caught a big break and what was killing them was with the Madoff case. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure they just had a ruling go in their favor that will save them a lot of money.
I wouldn't be suprised to see him hit the market, he said he doesn't want to negotiate in season, I just think they get him back.
Beltran is going to be traded. SF or BOS, I would think.
Sandy just needs to make sure he gets usable pieces in return.
The front office is going to play for a winning record this year. I think it will mean brighter days to the team and the fans if they just field a winner in 2011.
Reyes stays the full year. I think the chances of re-signing him are good, but not 75% good.
A fair amount of it will be if he believes this team is committed to winning. Thus, the gigantic nature of the Frank Rod & (potential) Beltran moves.

Well, if they plan on keeping him they might as well try now so he doesn't hit the market.
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
I think Reyes is awsome, the contract he is going to get scares me though. I just wish he could stay on the field a little more.
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
good trade for them just getting rid of his contract

Yeah, they are certainly trying. I think they will.
