Major League Baseball said last week that the Mets would get a third-round pick from Miami if Jose Reyes signed there, not a second-round pick.

Apparently, things have changed. The Padres will get pick 9a in the second round created from thin air for losing Heath Bell. And the Mets will get pick 9b in the second round, Newsday reported.

The Mets also get a pick between the first and second rounds.
