I also thing both players are likely to regress pretty quickly.

They only have Reyes until he is 34/35. You aren't really going to be able to lock up a star to more ideal age years.
I'd consider him as about as good a free agent get (dollars, age, and production) as you are going to get.
After seeing the contracts the Dodgers took on (and gave away prospects), the Jays got better players for a similar price.
