The Padres released Reyes on Thursday.
Reyes has slashed .310/.408/.491 with six home runs, 15 steals and a 35:36 BB:K in 56 games with Triple-A El Paso this season, so the 32-year-old might have exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract. The utility player saw action in 24 games for the Yankees in 2025 and has a career .245/.305/.342 line over parts of seven big-league seasons.
