Quote: Reyes says he is Going No Place

According to the Associated Press, speaking to a TV station while in the Dominican Republic, Mets SS Jose Reyes said he’s happy to be on Mets and is glad to know he will not be traded in a deal for LHP Johan Santana.

…from what i can gather, reyes’s agent, who also represents santana, is down in the Dominican Republic to help him with a press conference for charity work, where i hope he is working to settle jose’s fears, as well…

Reyes, on whether the Mets should trade top young players to acquire Santana, as quoted by Christian Red in the Daily News

“We need another starting pitcher.  Glavine’s gone.  We need another one, no doubt.  If we can get Santana, whoa!  That would be huge.  You have to think about (trading young prospects).  Santana is still young too.  Let’s see what happens. Our team with Santana?  Whew!”
