Marlins Sign Jose Reyes to 6 year, $106 Million Deal

I'd expect them to trade Lomo for a cheap starter if they signed a position player. Especially if they also sign the Cuban kid and expect him to play right away.

SS Reyes
LF Boni
3B Hanley
RF Stanton
1B Gaby
CF Cespedes
2B Infante
C Buck

Cespeds could go the Chapman rout and start Triple-A in New Olreans. It would really depend on his spring.

And then throw in Edwin Jackson into the rotation and bam!

[Miamarlin21]

I really am opposed to trading Logan.

C John Buck $6,500,000

2B Omar Infante $4,000,000
3B Hanley Ramirez $15,000,000

RP Alex Sanabia (or Sean West, I guess) $420,000

That is doable for $95,000,000

I'd be down.

If we got Gio....


Also, how is Boni in left?

ASSUming LoMo traded for a pitcher.

Signing Reyes, Cepedes, and any legit SP (Buerhle, Edwin) would be tremendous.

Would become lights out if Morrison/Dominguez then turned into Gio. Oakland would have to do that trade.

But I don't understand the payroll of this. Team is at +/- $65 right now. Reyes/Cepedes would easily cost $25 combined. This is $90 already. Adding a needed FA starter (their "top" offseason priority) and a few bench guys, and it's well over $100. I guess they could move Nolasco, but you'd still have to replace him.

This math doesn't add up unless they open the bank. But we can hope.

[Miamarlin21]

If we got Gio I think I'd be OK with dealing Lomo.

[Big Z]

Same here, I know Gio wants out of Oak. and said he would take a paycut to play for us. I got this information from my bestfriend who is very close to him.

[Bobbob1313]

Reyes/Cepedes would easily cost $25 combined.

I don't see how.

It was reported that Cepedes would cost around Chapman's, which was 5/30. So $6 million.

So unless you think Reyes is getting a Crawford contract...

Forgot to mention in my scenario, we're trading Nolasco for pennies.

That's silly

How is Cespedes + Reyes at 25+? Cespedes seems to be seeking 5/30, so even if he gets that whole number it's an average of 6 per year. You really think Reyes is getting 19?

[Big Z]

That's silly

Hometown discount is what I mean, if he were given the opportunity to sign a multi-year deal with us.

Yankees are reportedly really interested in him. That could drive up his price.

Or his people could be putting that out there, now that I think about it, to drive up the price.
