While Jose Reyes is currently rolling around in money that not even an armored car would hold, it’s worth noting that the Giants did make a play for the electric shortstop, even though their efforts were quickly shot down.
Reyes agent Peter Greenberg on Giants’ interest: “There were some early discussions…They loved the player but just didn’t have the money.”
Silly as it is, knowing the Giants made an effort and simply couldn’t afford him makes me feel better than had they just ignored the situation, knowing their financial issues.
Of course – I’d feel a lot better than that right now if the Giants weren’t paying Barry Zito a Scrooge McDuck sum and offering IOU’s to potential free agents.

Life long San Francisco Giants/49ers/Sacramento Kings fan living in Southern California after getting lost on a family trip to see Shamu in the early 90's. I'm currently the Editor of both the San Francisco Giants (Around The Foghorn) and Sacramento Kings (A Royal Pain) blogs on the FanSided network, where I'm paid in gum. In addition, I am the co-administrator of KingsForum.net, a Sacramento Kings fan forum. As you can tell by my fandom choices, I'm a bit of a masochist. As to the rumors, yes, they're true - I was the one who shot 50 Cent nine times, and yes, it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none, especially when you don't include a unicorn in the festivities. Am I right, or am I right?
If you need to find me, I'd check your local county jail intake first - or hit me up on Twitter @aroyalpain or @roundthefoghorn if you're feeling risky.
