The New York Mets have been in the middle of a roller-coaster season this season with several players included as passengers. Among them, on Opening Day, was Francisco Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes.
Since Opening Day, Rodriguez had been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers and has had as turbulent a beginning as he did with the Mets. Beltran has been traded for two weeks, and while he has started slowly, he has been heating up as of late.
The biggest question mark for the Mets for the majority of the first half of the season was not either of them, however. It was Jose Reyes.
First, there were reports that Mets GM Sandy Alderson was taking calls and offers on him. Then, the news broke just weeks before the trade deadline that the Mets were no longer shopping him. In fact, they were looking into trying to resign him on a long-term basis.
But was the team's decision to bypass placing him on the trade block a good one?
I am not so sure. While he has been the best player in the league for the first half of the year, his second half has shown why it may have been better to trade him and why they will regret not doing so.
Here are eight reasons why they should have traded him when they had the chance.
