\"\"Yesterday the Mets announced that they will today announce the hiring they leaked to Jon Heyman Tuesday.\u00a0 Sandy Alderson will take his place as Mets general manager in a press conference at 2pm.<\/p>\n

The Mets suggested after the season that John Ricco would handle anything that needed to be done in the interim.\u00a0 Takahashi had a clause in his contract that suggested he needed to be talked to before the end of the month, and there are a couple of options on players that can be considered.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think Ricco did very much, but I do wonder if he negotiated with Takahashi the basics of a contract.\u00a0 I also wonder if he talked to Jose Reyes about signing an extension.\u00a0 Such decisions usually take some back and forth on years and money, and it probably makes sense to have had John Ricco start the ball rolling in that direction.<\/p>\n

So if that discussion has started, is it possible they came to a tentative deal pending the final approval of a general manager who has basically had the job for three days?\u00a0 Is it possible Alderson will surprise us with a Reyes signing?
