Colorado Rockies request waivers on SS Jose Reyes

The Colorado Rockies requested waivers on shortstop Jose Reyes and are expected to grant his unconditional release.

Colorado was aiming to trade the four-time All-Star but found no takers. If Reyes clears waivers, he will become a free agent in 48 hours.

Reyes hasn't played for the Rockies this season after being involved in a domestic-violence incident with his wife in Hawaii last October.

Prosecutors dropped the charge when Reyes' wife refused to cooperate.

Major League Baseball suspended Reyes through May 31 for the incident.

Reyes is owed approximately $39 million in salary from the six-year, $106 million deal he signed prior to the 2012 season.
