Jose Reyes hit a two-run triple to give New York the lead in the seventh inning and the Mets held on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Trading Jose Reyes may seem unthinkable to most Mets fans -- but it would be logical for the organization to move their franchise player before the July 31st trading deadline.
I said it in spring training and I will say it again -- I simply believe Jose Reyes and David Wright will be wearing Mets uniforms after the trading deadline. Nothing I have seen this season has made me change my mind on that issue. Nothing.

Darren Meenan has a successful Mets-themed t-shirt company with a close-knit following. He also had Mets-Braves tickets Sunday night... until he got the boot from Citi Field brass.

The Mets have a good chance to land a talented young hurler in this year's MLB first-year player draft. With pick number 13, the Amazin's are at least guaranteed one of the players listed. As for the Bombers, well... Sorry Yankees fans, you're out of luck.
When commissioner Bud Selig steps to the podium at the MLB Network studios in Secaucus, N.J. to begin Monday night's MLB first-year player draft, he might say UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole's name first. But who will the Mets and Yankees select? That's what New Yorkers want to know.

Since his arrival, Terry Collins has not only transformed the Mets into a hungry, well-liked ballclub but restored their overall reputation around baseball after years of listless play.
He's a homegrown star having a huge season in the media capital of the world. He's a few days shy of his 28th birthday, just now entering the prime of his career. And by the middle of the summer, Jose Reyes could be gone. In a New York minute.
No matter where the Mets end up this year, I hope the organization realizes Terry Collins is the right man to lead this team. His kind of passion in the manager's chair does not grow on trees.
