Jose Reyes hoping his baseball career isn't over

Jose Reyes isn't playing baseball right now. But he hopes he isn't done with baseball, even if it looks as if baseball may be done with him.

The former Mets shortstop is a 35-year-old free agent coming off a 2018 season with the Mets during which he hit .189. He also has a 2016 suspension for violating baseball's domestic violence policy on his record, which even Reyes admits could scare some teams off.

On the plus side of his resume, Reyes has 2,138 career hits, can play multiple positions and is thought of as a positive locker-room presence. The Mets, in particular, credit Reyes for mentoring shortstop Amed Rosario during the youngster's indoctrination into the big leagues.
