Reyes landed on the DL July 2nd. At that point, he was hitting .355 and slugging .529. There is no way, that we would have had trouble getting a top prospect for him.
There were no rumors about us trading Reyes at all. Had we explored this actively, is is very likely that there would have been rumors. This is not a trial. The threshold here has to be a preponderance of evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt.
