Deputy prosecuting attorney Kerry Glen said Wednesday she plans to
file documents to drop the case after Reyes' wife also refused to
return to Maui.
Reyes, 32, was scheduled to go to trial on Monday. He pleaded not
guilty to abusing a family or household member.
Reyes' playing status with the Rockies remains in limbo because he
could still face a suspension by Major League Baseball. He was
placed on paid administrative leave on Feb. 23 under MLB's domestic
violence policy pending completion of the criminal proceedings.
Reyes was at a resort on Maui when hotel security officials placed a
911 call on Oct. 31. According to a transcript of the 911 call, the
hotel security staff reported that Reyes' wife, Katherine Ramirez,
had suffered injuries to her face, neck and leg.
Reyes was arrested on Halloween night after being accused of
grabbing his wife by the throat and shoving her into a sliding glass
door.
Reyes is scheduled to make $22 million this season and is the
Rockies' highest-paid player. He is owed $56 million through 2017.

The Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Kyle Kendrick agreed to a
minor league deal, according to reports.

but was released on March 12 after giving up nine earned runs on 14
hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings this spring.
Kendrick has a lifetime record of 81-81 and an ERA of 4.63 in 253
games (212 starts). In 2015, he was 7-13 with a 6.32 ERA over 142
1/3 innings in 27 starts for the Colorado Rockies. (Editing by Larry
