"If the Mets have serious competition for Jose Reyes other than the Marlins, it's news to Sandy Alderson.

The Mets general manager yesterday said he's unaware of any outside offers for the All-Star shortstop other than Miami's reported bid in the $75-$90 million range over six years.

"As far as the market for Jose is concerned, I only know what I read in the paper," Alderson said. "There haven't been additional reports that I've heard, about other offers, so I'm not sure there's much more clarity than we had the first time the Miami proposal was reported.""
