I suppose I will have to like Reyes now instead of not liking him. I remember I once got a baseball game and Jose Reyes was the cover athlete so I wrote "I <3 cock" in a speech bubble emanating from his mouth, but I guess it's too late to apologiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeee aaaaayyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa.

Sounds like he'll be introduced on Wednesday.

I love that some on Phillies forums are talking about how they can trade for Hanley now.

The sadness of a Mets fan:

As a Mets fan, Im not surprised at all. Nor am I terribly upset. That deal is way to big for us to take on, especially since we wont contend with ow w/o him.

Now, I will be booing the **** out of Reyes whenever the Marlins play the Mets. I hope he ****ing sucks. The fact that he is going to a team playing in the most populated latino city in America which is extremely close to his homeland, has a latino manager and a **** load of spanish ball players just pisses me off more then anything (that and he's going to a division foe). I just feel like the latino thing played a huge roll honestly. I have been going to Mets Spring Training last 4 years-the only people on the team Reyes talks to and is seen hanging out with are the spanish guys. Miami did not have to pay this much, dumb move by them. Mets wouldn't even go over 5/85mil.

....im not racist.

We don't really have a ton of Latin players. Just Hanley, Bonifacio, Infante, and a couple pitchers (Anibal and Mujica). You can maybe count Gaby and Ricky but they were both born in the US. But he's a Mets fan so I get that he doesn't know our roster that well.

Less than 30 percent of players in MLB are hispanic.

That was about the only reason I posted it.

#Mets continue to insist desire to keep Reyes was real and would have gone 5-$90M in end game with 6th-yr opt take over $100M (cont)

I guess they can say that now but who knows if that was actually going to happen.

As in crazy good, right?

This is not Maury's M-O

Looks like #Marlins will announce Jose Reyes this week in Dallas. I'm told he has a room at The Hilton Anatole

15 out of 40 on the 'active roster' ain't bad (though, for the record, I'm pretty sure the Mets do not have any Spanish players)

Johan Santana is from Venezuela. He's as Spanish as you are English.
