Expect Jose Reyes to be a versatile player next season.
The New York Mets have said they will try Reyes out in the outfield during spring training. On Tuesday, manager Terry Collins said that Reyes could see time in center field.
Terry Collins said Jose Reyes may see some time at CF if needed. They may prep Michael Conforto & Travis d'Arnaud for 1B in event of injury.

Reyes has typically been a shortstop throughout his career, but he played third base for the Mets after they acquired him from the Rockies. With Asdrubal Cabrera at shortstop and David Wright possibly returning, the Mets will look to move Reyes around in order to get him in the lineup. That’s why they will see how he does in the outfield.
The Mets recently exercised their option on Reyes. He should be a bargain next season making the minimum.
