Reyes is done for this year, so this is for next year as a keeper. I would probably keep Mauer, Tex, Braun and Markakis and not make the trade. Reyes is great if healthy, but he is a risk for that. You have a running player, valuable for his legs, with a mysterious leg injury that has continued to keep him out for months when he was expected to be out a week. Mauer is as valuable because catcher is a position that is scarce. you would have the best catcher in the game and next year, though I'm a Mets season ticket holder and loves Reyes' game, you can not count on Reyes being the same next year (Boy I hope he is though).
