Sandy Alderson does not foresee a quick resolution with Jose Reyes, the GM said Monday.

“Take it out of the Jose Reyes context into just the general free-agent context,” Alderson said. “There are some situations where a player might indicate what it would take for him to forgo the free-agent market. There are some situations where a club might try to make a preemptive offer to preclude that [open bidding].

“I don’t think either one of those things is going to happen in this case. I don’t think Jose is going to give us a number for which he would forgo free agency. I don’t think we’re in a position to make him what I would characterize as a preemptive offer.”

Alderson added, however, that the Mets would not go into rebuilding mode if Reyes departed.

“We’re not going to punt 2012 if Jose doesn’t re-sign,” Alderson said.

As for the likelihood of David Wright remaining a Met in 2012, Alderson said: “I couldn’t say that with any degree of certainty about any player that we have. "Do I think that he’ll be a Met next year? Yes.”
