David Schoenfield notes that Mets fans are tired of Jose Reyes:
The Mets, however, should have won the game before Montero appeared. In the top of the eighth, with two outs and the Mets leading 2-1, Jose Reyes dropped a little pop fly along the third-base line, perhaps a little wary of bumping into catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who was standing a few feet away. Andres Blanco then doubled to tie the game. That’s an inexcusable error.
The Mets have five outfielders. What they don’t have is a third baseman. Reyes is hitting .100/.182/.140. Besides maybe Rangers reliever Sam Dyson, he has been the least valuable player in the majors. You might be shocked to hear this, but Mets fans are upset.
I've seen enough of Jose Reyes, thank you.

Which brings me to something I’ve been thinking about since the Yankees are getting offensive production from a couple of unexpected sources. Chase Headley and Starlin Castro are both going gang busters, hitting for average, getting on base, and hitting for power. I suspect one reason is that the Yankees have Gleyber Torres, who many think could have started the season in the majors. Castro is still young enough and with enough potential to keep his job, but Headley would be a perfect person to flip to the Mets for prospects or a pitcher. It is one of those sell high situations, much like with Aroldis Chapman last season, where the Yankees can get a lot from a needy team. It’s almost the end of April, the time when the Yankees will be able to control Torres for seven years. Let’s see them make a deal.
