If I recall correctly, the Rox would have had to trade Reyes when they had no other viable SS on the roster AND eaten 2.5 years of salary to get anything.  You can't blame Bridich too much for playing him in August and September and trying to establish some value.  I doubt the Mets would have given up a bag of balls for Jose at that time.

Reyes did no one any favors with his attitude and his domestic violence incident.  I put this into the Wilin Rosario basket of untradeables.  "I think we could've traded him but actually there were no takers."
