Quote: Minaya says Jays never asked for Reyes
According to SNY, Mets GM Omar Minaya told reporters today, though he did talk to them about Roy Halladay, the Blue Jays never asked the Mets for SS Jose Reyes.
…it just makes no sense… and i don’t mean from the Mets point of view, but from Toronto’s… i mean, why would they want reyes, who is coming off surgery, and who missed nearly all of last season, and who is due $9 million next season, after which he can be a free agent or the team can pick up his $11 million option… it is not at all what they were obviously looking to acquire…
To see video of Minaya’s Q&A with reporters, as well as clips from today’s holiday party, and talks with Reyes and Jeff Francoeur, tune in to GEICO SportsNite on SNY at 10 pm.
