Despite showing promise, Reyes found himself on the chopping block with the addition of Garrett Cooper, leaving many wondering about the team's motivations and the implications for their roster strategy.

Over 64 games played last season, Reyes slashed a strong .287/.339/.377 line, with two home runs, 20 RBI, seven stolen bases, and 27 runs scored.

For Reyes himself, the placement on waivers marks a potentially uncertain period as he awaits his fate within the league. Whether he will be claimed by another team or remain within the Red Sox organization remains to be seen.

Over the past four seasons, the 30-year-old holds a .259/.317/.338 triple-slash line, along with three home runs, 28 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and 44 runs scored across 143 games played. Photo Credit: David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports
