Jose Reyes returns to the Mets:
The New York Mets have signed shortstop Jose Reyes to a minor league contract.
Reyes, 33, played primarily at shortstop for the Mets from 2003-11, but may be used in a utility role in his reunion with the team.
Reyes was cut by Colorado after serving a 59-day suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. He became a free agent on Saturday. The Rockies are responsible for the $39 million remaining on his contract, minus the prorated share of the $507,500 major league minimum to be paid by the Mets.
I’m not surprised. Sandy Alderson, who taught Billy Beane to play Moneyball, couldn’t resist that deal after losing David Wright. I wonder how Mets fans will treat Reyes?
