According to the New York Daily News, there's "speculation in MLB circles" that the Mets are considering parting with Jose Reyes in a potential trade for Johan Santana.
This, I am not OK with. As badly as the Mets need an ace, you absolutely cannot trade a 24-year old star shortstop in his prime. Reyes changes the game, and brings an electricity to the team you can't measure with statistics. He manufactures so many runs with his speed from stealing bases to inducing balks. The Mets have control of him for 3 more years at an absolute steal of around $6 million (less than he would likely have received in arbitration). Dealing Reyes would be a monumental error, and I hope this "speculation" is just that.
