Wow...ALOT more money than I expected. They need to sign Wilson and the tide could be turning in the NL East.
Yep. Marlins are making some good moves and looks like they are serious about putting a winning team with a chance to compete in their new stadium instead of just relying on the new stadium mystique to attract fans.
More than likely Pujols will stay with the Cards, but the Marlins are probably the most likely team to get him if he leaves the Cards. I still see them not only getting a front line starter to go with a good lead off guy/short stop and a top closer they just picked up, but also another power bat, Pujols, Fielder, or a power hitting outfielder.

They are not getting Fielder or Pujols.
Albert either stays put or goes to the Cubs ...
Theo has to come up with a BIG move somewhere this off season.
Now all the Marlins need to be able to do is be able to keep Reyes motivated, when he's not, he 's injured or moping.
VERY VERY good player when he's motivated.

Pujols is staying with cardinals and i see Fielder going to Nastionals Cubs Marlins and maybe Rangers or he does what they said take a shorter contract like 2 years at 25 million and then go back on market with no power hitters beinmg on market at that time or get 7 year deal with opt out after 3 years tp try and get better offer imo 
i agree marlins should to keep reyes from getting injured give him sundays off i would say 1 week or every other week to stay healthy and refreshed for playoffs

Unless Pujols gets a better offer from the Cards...he is gone.
WOW.... Winter meetings started in Dallas and the word from BOTH the MLB Network AND ESPN that now... the Marlins are the frontrunner for Albert Pujols because supposedly inside sources state the Cards will not go higher than their original offer and the Marlins offer...which supposedly is around 9 years $225 million and better than the Cards offer.
...*gulp*...
..and the scary part is...IF that happens, that Marlins, with all that money flying all over the place...would be "only" around the $125 million mark in payroll.
Scary and exciting times down here.

This is not a slam at Salsa or his team. But, I wonder how teams who have given the Marlins "welfare" checks over the years feel about them signing these big money contracts now. Especially the Mets, who have now lost a player to a team they kept afloat.
Not a knock AT ALL and I have asked this SAME question myself. Remember, the MLB office FORCED the Marlins last year to put more money on the team because the lying ownership that is Loria and Sampson was pocketing money from the team teams that were "luxury taxed" and not putting it back into the team. But if you look at things, like I said, even IF they sign Pujols...they would still be barely above the $125 million.
NOW, word comes out that the SEC(no, not THAT SEC people hype AND bitch about here...LOL!
) is investigating HOW the bonds were acquired by the Marlins...So, good AND bad, exhilaration and fear are running rampant down here....

Well, I wish Reyes well. If the Mets win 70 games, that will be great for them. I dont see where the Mets try to get ANYBODY. If anything, Ive heard K-Rod might come back. Ive also heard that if Johan Santana comes back and pitches well, they trade him too. Theres been a lot of talk about how this is Minaya's fault all this is happening. Even if it is, the Mets have to do something because it will be a ghost town at Citi Field all year. Plus, with the Yankees and all there stars, the Mets have to do something but what that is, who knows.
Jimbo said:Yup, they'll win a WS and then disban the team.
I do not think that will happen.
They had very little stream of revenue due to the deal they had with the Dolphins and Pro Player/Sun Life Stadium...that will not be the case now.
