Except Alderson has pointed out that he feels he can afford to sign the other players they need AND Reyes. So the Mets aren't looking to pinch pennies from one to pay for another. Yes, it could get sticky if the the team plays worse next year, but it definitely will if they don't sign him. I'm just saying that lost in this whole thing is that I think those three specific guys should be former Mets.
