I went with the reports. At first the reports were they were letting him walk, then they were that they could possibly bring him back. In the end, they didn’t, so I’m assuming they preferred a change at C all along like any rational person would.
Reiter was still on the market when they signed Blythe. If they really wanted Reiter, they could’ve waited, but they didn’t. Are you really this ****ing dumb?

I mean, it comes down to ROI.
Blythe at essentially free (with vet exemption) while losing a qualifying free agent not only keeps a vet at center, it saves us money and possibly rewards us with a draft pick if/when Reiter signs elsewhere.
Being it’s only a 1 year deal, losing him to next years free agency also provides the possibility of another comp pick the following draft, as well.
