We all already knew the Mets were going to give Reyes time in the outfield during Spring Training. We’ve known it for a month. In fact, if we want to go back a bit further, the Mets actually worked Reyes out in center field back in July.
So no, it did not come as a surprise today when I saw the headline “Reyes gearing up for the outfield.” What did come as a surprise to me was that he was training just minutes away from where I was at the same time.
