sdelmonteTomorrow, the Mets are likely to sign a player named Jose Reyes. Reyes was arrested for domestic abuse and was suspended for two months. He is a free man mainly because his wife didn't press charges, but it seems clear that he is an abuser.
I hate this. I don't want him on my team. I don't want him in baseball. He has done nothing to show that he's learned anything or changed. So I am in this odd place now. I cannot root against the Mets. There is no way I can do that. But I really won't feel that badly if they continue to struggle while he is on the team. And I might abandon my Mets cap for a while.
Am I being a moralist? Probably. But sometimes I get that way. Especially when it comes to things like abuse, and institutionalized sexism.
