New York Mets 2012 Banter

Looks like Jose Reyes won't be a Met next year.

The Mets took care of an expected piece of business Wednesday, offering free-agent shortstop Jose Reyes arbitration. The Mets made the move to make sure that they would be compensated with 2012 Draft picks if Reyes, a Type A free agent, signs with another club. It is likely that Reyes will not accept the Mets' offer, because if he did, he would be agreeing to play for the Mets for another year with a pay raise from the $11 million he made in 2011 and would be forgoing the opportunity to secure a multiyear offer for a lot more money.
