Tom Seaver believes the Mets need to have a solid plan in place to replace shortstop Jose Reyes if they don't retain him. Seaver, a three-time Cy Young winner, was traded to New York in the middle of his career. Reyes will be a free agent at the end of the season and has been the subject of constant trade rumors all year. "Unless you have a game plan to go in a different direction, you can't get rid of him. He's too good," Seaver said. Seaver made it clear that he was not advocating for the Mets to sign Reyes or let him go. He simply stated that the Mets need to be prepared to deal with the loss.
