“Don’t Trade Jose Reyes” Day!
An article by 
Donna Bauer who is a tremendous Mets fan with a BIG following on Facebook, sent me an invitation to a great event she has started up called:
DON’T TRADE JOSE REYES DAY!
FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
CITI FIELD, FLUSHING, NEW YORK
Donna calls her event a day to celebrate Jose Reyes, and to let the Mets know we will not take it lightly if they do something stupid and trade one of our all time favorite homegrown players.
Click here to join the movement to Keep Jose Reyes on the Mets.
She encourages everyone to buy a ticket and attend the game and most importantly:
- Wear Your Favorite Jose Reyes Jersey
- Wear Your Favorite Jose Reyes T-Shirt – Get One Here!
- Bring a Sign That Reads - DON’T TRADE JOSE REYES!
She has also embarked upon an aggressive email campaign, so if you see her email make sure you forward it to all the Mets fans you know.
She implores Jose Reyes fans to contact the Mets and let them know exactly how you feel about it.
Here is the Mets Contact Form.
As Jose Reyes continues to ignite the Mets and put a charge into the offense, you can expect the momentum to keep Jose Reyes in a Met uniform to keep on growing. I expect to start seeing more and more fans really making their presence felt at Citi Field with signs, and cheers, and banners and plenty of Jose Reyes merchandise and attire. I don’t know if it will all work… But, I hope it does.

We can get better and still keep Jose Reyes.
Thw whole point of having a farm system is to hope and pray someone like Jose Reyes is developed, nurtured and eventually becomes an impact player for the team. Our one true success story in 25 years and some want to dump him? What kind of Mets fan would want to do that? Keep Reyes and Lets Go Mets!
Great idea, keep it going!
I can’t be there but I will be watching and wearing my Jose Reyes shirt.
As I was when Dwight and Straw came up I always figured Jose and David would be Mets for life.
The fact that mgmt has brought in over the hill vets, made some bad deals w/contracts (Ollie, Luis) plus failure to bring in the needed help when an injury occurred are not the fault of David and Jose.
Mgmt tried to win at all costs following 2006 failure and all moves were short term and most fell through.
Wagner and Sanchez getting hurt were not anticipated but the lack of depth in minors for all those years cost us a lot of valuable playing time alongside David and Jose.
I hope we put our dislike for Wilpons aside and fill the stadium showing mgmt and Jose what he means to NY.
I’m definitely going to this game. I’ll make sure to wear a “DON’T TRADE REYES” shirt. You can find one here:

I’m with you for sure, but I dont do Facebook and I live in Florida now. Tell me what I can do. I went through the Roger Craig years and when the Mets get a good player I die a little if the player becomes a pawn and not a continuing Mets force. Pops
Who’s to say Reyes will take less money to stay a Met? Cliff Lee did it last year cause he loves Philly; Reyes seems to love NY. No one talks about it, but it’s got a chance, right? Keep Reyes.
By the way, I’m working on my own Mets blog this season. If you got some time, you should check it out @ midwesternmet.blogspot.com . We also just got a Twitter, just go twitter.com/midwesternmet
OMG I have seats behind 1st base for this game already!!! Im so bringing signs and stuff!
[...] Speaking of Dickey, check out this! They have some great shirts. I really want one of those “Don’t Trade Reyes” shirts. Oh, and June 3rd is Don’t Trade Jose Reyes Day. [...]

Keep it up!!
Response to Joel Sherman column of today 5/27:
Joel,
I agree with all you said today, but considering the $ reality, I totally wouldn’t mind trading strikeout Wright, move Murphy to his only realistic position, 3B, let Beltran go, trade head case Pelfrey, but KEEP REYES. They let this superstar barely in his prime go, the player to build around, and they’re saying “we give up, fans, we’re going to stink for a long time” I believe Reyes would sign a long term deal, maybe starting at $13-$14M and escalating from there, and the sports media are sadly resigned to him being gone in July, without a whimper, let alone outrage!
There must be a public campaign for Wilpon to keep Reyes and sell the rest of the team before it’s too late and let this great player’s departure become even worse than that of Tom Seaver, which I well remember!

P.S. I tried to write Mr. Alderson. Do you know how to contact this guy?
