The Colorado Rockies have designated shortstop Jose Reyes for assignment. General manager Jeff Bridich described the move as "best for the organization."

The Rockies reinstated Reyes from the restricted list, where he had been since being suspended for violating the league's domestic abuse policy, before designating him for assignment.

He was arrested on Oct. 31, 2015 for a domestic abuse incident involving him and his wife in Hawaii. The MLB suspended him through May 31.

The Rockies now have 10 days to decide from three different options - trade him, release him or demote him to the minors. If they decide to trade or release him, one team will not want him, and that's the New York Mets. 

Reyes played with the Mets from 2003-2011. ESPN's Adam Rubin reported that the Mets want nothing to do with Reyes.
