6 years agoWith the New York Mets activating both reliever Anthony Swarzak and third baseman Todd Frazier on Tuesday, a common thought had been the end was near for infielder Jose Reyes. However, that was not to be, as the team designated reliever Buddy Baumann for assignment and demoted reliever Gerson Bautista. It’s a curious decision by the Mets, who certainly have younger talent in the minors that could improve over anything Reyes has done this season. The 34-year-old is slashing .141/.208/.197 with one home run and two stolen bases across 77 plate appearances, hardly justifying his place on the roster. Perhaps the team is banking on another hot second half like Reyes provided last year, but we wouldn’t bet on that whatsoever. Reyes shouldn’t be owned in any leagues at the moment.--John Smith
