According to the MLB Network, the Marlins met briefly with Pujols folks yesterday and they are meeting again today....whoa.!
Reyes may turn out to be a very good or a terrible signing for the Marlins...time will tell. The guy makes his living with his legs, he's had problems since he was young...and this contract brings him toward the end of his career.
For the Mets, it was time to cut bait with Reyes and all the ancillary issues he brings. I agree the problem as that they may not use that cost savings on players...but if they do, pitching is the way to go.

IF...and I am still doubtful they will...IF they sign Pujols...look for some kind of Gabby Sanchez for Gio Gonzales deal not to far after...OR, IF you hear of the trade BEFORE..then the deal for Pujols is just about done.
Here is some more for you Jimbo:
Albert Pujols just another piece of Miami Marlins' master plan - ESPN
Miscalculation on my part...IF they were to get Pujols, they will be barely over the $100 million payroll range...not the $125 million that I thought...that is a HUGE difference.

WOW...I think ...no...I KNOW that I love the "hot stove season" MORE than the regular season!!!
It has now been reported that the Marlins have now offered Pujols a 10 year contract with the total price tag of somewhere OVER $220 for the life of the contract! Now, the interesting news is that more than likely, it will NOT contain a 'no trade' option and it is heavy in the 1st 5 years, it will average in the $25-27 million a year average...and the final 5, around the $15-17 million a year.
ESPN and the MLB network is reporting that is better than 50-50 chance the Marlins have landed Phat Albert.
But wait, there is MORE....
Reports out of St. Louis is that they will try to counter that offer with a 10 year contract of their own as soon as they have the full details of the contract offer from the Marlins. Supposedly, when they offered their contract offer, it was for 8 years at approx. $22 million a year back in spring training.
This is CRAZY!

So basically this new stadium is giving the Marlins a ton of revenue? Im no account so forgive me for sounding ignorant. If this new stadium gives them revenue or the money to buy the top players then I can understand why owners say "Build me a new stadium or I'll move".
The only thing I dont understand is that how does the Marlins front office know that people are going to show up? When the Marlins were good and in the wild card race etc. it didnt seem like people were showing up? What if the samething happens again? The Marlins are good yet nobody goes to the games?

What people do not understand is that the Marlins, while leasing the Dolphins Stadium...had THE WORST deal in all of baseball:
- They get ALL monies from tickets expect skyboxes, which they must give up around 30%
- Partial monies from parking(50% goes to the Dolphins)
- NO MONIES from consessions
- and 25% of all baseball related sales went to the Dolphins
They are now getting ALL those monies. Something they never had. Also, as posted earlier, for at least this season and the next, they will still be part of the low end teams that get more of the revenue sharing mulah...that means possibly an additional $25 million a year. Not to mention, after the 2013 season, as of now...only Hanley, Bell and Josh Johnson will have a contract past the 2013 season. That open up the flood gates even more to more possible signing, extentiona and arbritration cases.
At the present times, they have estimated they have sold about 25,000 season tickets(full season, partial season...which I bought, and 20 game packages). They will have no issues averaging about 30-34,000 a night with a abll park that holds approx. 38,000.
Sources are saying the Miami Marlins' 1st basemen next year will be....
Gabby Sanchez...Pujols will stay in St. Louis.
Gabby Sanchez...Pujols will stay in St. Louis.
It'll be interesting to see if they actually DO avg over 30,000 nightly.
Is that their break even point ?
I hope not.
Of course if Pujols doesn't come then that number would go down.

baseball-reference shows Florida attendance in 81 games
Ballparks: Sun Life Stadium · Attendance: 1,477,462 (16th of 16)
averages to 18250 a game...regardless they have finished last in NL in attendance last 5 years
Honestly I'm shocked.didn't think it was that much.goes to show you I don't know JACK about the marlins and pretty much baseball

I willing to challenge that. The excitement of the 1st year of a new stadium will have that stadium averaging 30,000 without a doubt. The 2nd year, they will need to win.
The 1st year the Marlins were in the league, they averaged approx. 35,000 per game.
MLB Network now reports and confirms that the Marlins have met TWICE today with Albert Pujols.
Crazy....just crazy.
