Reyes Compensation Tracker 3000

Last updated on 4/5/2012

UPDATE: It's Opening Day. I'm gonna go ahead and call it a career for Derrek Lee. This locks the Mets into the #35 and #71 picks as their compensation for Jose Reyes.


The Mets will get 2 compensation picks in the 2012 draft for Jose Reyes. One of those picks will come directly from the Marlins. The other compensatory selection will be a pick in the sandwich round between rounds 1 and 2.
