"Jose Reyes has been a stealthy free agent so far, his public life limited to Elvis-like sightings (post-death, that is): Plenty of rumors, none easy to confirm.

On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Daily News spotted Reyes at the Continental Restaurant in Philly; the following evening, the Palm Beach Post said there were "rumblings" he would visit Miami on Thursday. On Friday, perhaps, he will head to Loch Ness.

Point is, Reyes' camp, led by agent Peter Greenberg, has worked to create a quiet process, far from view of the public and media. Reyes' people decline to dignify rumors and reports, leaving those hungry for updates to snoop around NL East restaurants, and wonder which rumblings to believe."
