Jose Reyes was open to returning to the Mets this winter, even though the popular belief was that he was chasing the most lucrative contract he could land in free agency. According to sources, the shortstop would have considered a smaller deal from the Mets, in terms of both dollars and years, than what he received from the Marlins. Reyes was shocked when New York failed to even make an offer. He signed a six-year, $106 million deal with Miami, and would have entertained returning to the Mets on a five-year deal, according to sources.
