Terry Collins jokes about using FBI to find ‘the real Jose Reyes’

Mets infielder Jose Reyes is mired in a 1-for-27 slump to start the season.

PHILADELPHIA — The Mets are offering a reward for information that will lead to the arrest of Jose Reyes’ captors.

After the Mets third baseman went hitless in four at-bats Monday and dropped to 1-for-27 (.037) for the season, manager Terry Collins was enlisting help from all corners.

“I have got the FBI looking for the real Jose Reyes right now,” Collins said after the Mets’ 4-3 victory over the Phillies. “He’s being held someplace.”

Even so, Collins isn’t ready to give Reyes a seat on the bench.
