Marlins agree to terms with Jose Reyes - 6yrs/106 million

[ctcf]

Aaaaaaaand done, surprisingly without a NTC

Just like that, the first big name signs on the eve of the winter meetings. Let those dominoes fall.

 

A lack of a NTC is about the least surprising thing ever. Loria's firesales are tough to manage when you start throwing those things around.

 

I wish firesale meant selling things while on fire.

 

Excellent

Logan Morrison tweeted a little while ago, to clear up the confusion, he's playing SS for the Marlins next season.

I will trade anyone on our roster for Morrison. The Cubs need to improve their Twitter HRs.

He might lead the league every year in swag

How did tree leave him off the swag team? Unforgivable.

Well, Trey does have a point...

I'd guess either offseason between 2013-14 or by the deadline in 14.

Who the hell wants to trade for a $22MM shortstop with limited power who can no longer field or run in 2015? This thing is going to be an albatross.

I think it will be a very challenging trade market for a 30-something middle infielder with that much guaranteed money left and likely even more injuries on his resume.

They'll have to eat money to move him, but I'm sure they'd rather eat money late in a contract than pony it up at the beginning. Time value of money and all...

I'm not saying it would be a good deal for the Marlins, just that they'll trade him. Most likely with little coming back and eating a bunch of $$. Someone will be desperate enough to take him while he's still somewhat productive, but the Marlins will have to eat a bunch of it.

That wasn't a long-term committment. The piece of [expletive] down there is never going to committ to 100M contract unless he can heavily backload it and dump him off once they don't sell out every game. I [expletive] hate Jeff Loria
