Preferential treatment for Granderson? Elaborate please. I too am glad he's gone, but only because I want to see more of Nimmo.
I would not be surprised if either Reyes or Cabrera (not both) are back next year, hopefully in a reserve role. Reyes would have to take a pay cut of biblical proportions, but I doubt there will be a brisk market for his services. Decision on Reyes may depend on whether they think he is a positive or negative influence on Rosario. Mets hold a club option on Cabrera for $6.5M, and may decide he is worth it.
It will be interesting to see what they do with the catcher position. My guess is that they decide that C is not a priority, and make do with D'arnaud, Plawecki, and maybe Nido and/or an inexpensive veteran backup. I continue to believe that the off-season priorities should be a veteran starting P, a power hitting 3B, and either CF or RF depending on whether they think Conforto can play CF.
