The Marlins are serious this offseason guys. The NL East is going to be an interesting race next year. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7...rk-buehrle-agree-4-year-deal-worth-58-million The Miami Marlins have agreed to a four-year deal worth $58 million with pitcher Mark Buehrle, sources told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. The move comes on the same day sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney the Marlins had emotionally moved on from Albert Pujols, and shifted their focus to starting pitching. Miami had offers out to both Buerhle and C.J. Wilson, sources told Olney. Hanley Ramirez's representative talked to the Marlins on Wednesday and asked for a restructured deal after the shortstop was asked to move to third base with the signing of Jose Reyes. The Marlins, upset with this, now are looking to trade Ramirez, the sources said. If the Marlins can clear the payroll, they will pursue Milwaukee Brewers free-agent first baseman Prince Fielder. The Marlins were described by as being "well down the road" in negotiations with both Buehrle and Wilson, multiple sources told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. One source said the Marlins have told both pitchers, as well as Pujols' camp, that if the team is able to reach a deal Wednesday with one of their pitching targets, that would effectively end their pursuit of Pujols. Miami has made a 10-year offer to the free-agent first baseman that sources say would pay him more than $200 million and include provisions that would link Pujols to the Marlins beyond his playing career. The sources told Olney that the Marlins have not pulled their offer to Pujols. A source told ESPN.com Buehrle had narrowed his list down to three teams Wednesday -- the Marlins, the Washington Nationals and, according to sources, the Texas Rangers. Wilson is being actively pursued by the Marlins and Los Angeles Angels. His agent, Bob Garber, also met Tuesday with his old team, Texas. The Nationals also maintain interest but are reluctant to guarantee either Wilson or Buehrle more than three years, sources said.
Probably much much more than he's worth. They'll probably get a bunch of big name players, and still only have 6 people at their games.
