GimmeShelter Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 And Jose Reyes' agent has just been fired. I know.....can you believe that deal? The option year gets pricey but the rest of it is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 That is a fair deal. Especially considering what a rocky start he got off to with injuries. I think it is a good compromise for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent is HORRIBLE. this deal isn't fair at all it avg's 5.5 million a year. he eligable for arbitration after this year and he'd probably make about 4 million. however he's get bumped up to 5 the next year and after that he's a FA where he'd command at least 8-9 million a year on the open market. he cost himself 2 years of making that money.

mbn007 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 A steal for the Mets. A big time steal. The Mets bought out his next 2 arb. eligible years for 6.5 million, then 5.75 for the 3rd. Total earned for his 3 arb. seasons: 12.25 million. I have no doubt that if he will remain health for these 3 seasons, he would have won at the arb. table at least 20 million over the same 3 years. Again, a great deal for the Mets. If they pull this one over Wright's head also, Omar is the GM of the decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Great move by the Mets, can't give em enough credit on this one. Locking up your young talent for the long term and saving some serious cash at the same time. Great move by the Mets FO, terrible move by Reyes' agent.
