[1]You would think that the whole “Jeff Loria told Jose Reyes to buy a house in Miami” thing would have died by now, but nope, it isn’t.  After Reyes said Loria gave him such advice despite knowing he’d be traded, and after Loria denied that he did it, Reyes tells the New York Post that Loria is lying, and that his agent Peter Greenberg can vouch:

“He did it during the season, too: ‘Tell Jose to get a nice place in Miami, a good house,’ ” Reyes said. “ He always told me that, me and Peter.  I don’t know why he said he didn’t say that.”  Reyes continued: “You can ask Peter if I’m a liar.  Two people are better than one. I don’t have to lie about that.  He traded me, that’s fine with me.  Just be real with me.  Be honest.  Don’t tell me to buy a house and get a nice place for my family and stuff when you [know] you’re going to trade me.  Why [did] you do that?”
