Over at Amazin’ Avenue, Rob Castellano investigates a few of the fallacies perpetuating the nonstop talk that Jose Reyes will inevitably be traded at some point this summer.

I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it a bunch more times: All the decisions — on all sides — regarding Jose Reyes’ future with the Mets are nuanced ones, and dismissing them by saying, “Oh well he’s X type of player and Sandy Alderson is Y type of general manager” is just silly. Alderson, Reyes, and Reyes’ agents are smart people. They’re going to spend a lot of time with this.

That doesn’t mean he’s certainly back in Queens next year, but it doesn’t mean he’s as good as gone either. It does mean no one should go about moving Reyes to second base to make way for Ruben Tejada just yet. Holy hell.
