Gilberto Rolando Reyes Polanco (born December 10, 1963) is a former catcher in Major League Baseball.

At the age of 16, Reyes made his pro debut for the Lethbridge Dodgers of the Pioneer league, appearing in six games.

On the team was outfielder R.J. Reynolds, pitcher John Franco, First baseman Sid Bream, and shortstop Dave Anderson.

[1] At this point, Reyes still had just a handful games of experience and was still struggling to get his batting average over the Mendoza Line.

San Antonio was the Dodgers double-A affiliate, meaning that finally Reyes had broken through the single A and rookie league levels.

With San Antonio, he played alongside Dodgers prospects like first baseman Franklin Stubbs and pitchers Sid Fernandez and Ken Howell.

[3] On June 11, 1983, Gilberto Reyes made his debut in a Saturday Night game versus the Cincinnati Reds.

As the Dodgers were facing the Oakland A's in the final game of the 1988 world series, Gilberto Reyes was flying in from his home in the Dominican Republic.

[6] Before spring training in 1989, the Dodgers traded Reyes to the Montreal Expos in exchange for pitcher Jeff Fischer.

[7] Reyes played briefly for Montreal in 1989, serving as a back-up to catchers Nelson Santovenia and Marty Pevey.

During his time with Montreal's triple-A team in Indianapolis, he worked with Expos pitching prospects like Randy Johnson (Who'd go on to enjoy a hall of fame career) and Brian Barnes.

The team was managed by former Cy Young winner Sparky Lyle featured ex-Cubs star Jerome Walton, who, like Reyes, was trying to find his way back to the big leagues.
