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

[Omar]

Let this thread be a clearinghouse for Reyes news throughout the silly season.

What we know

• Hanley would switch positions for him
• Marlins interest has been rumored for some time
• Mets won't be making more than a token offer
• Tons of people show up to JRS with Reyes jerseys

Mike Francesca has heard that Jose Reyes has received an offer and is scheduled to meet with the Marlins.

Don't know how much credibility Francesca has.

[Miamarlin21]

That would be crazy.

[Big Z]

Did he receive an offer from the Marlins, or was it an offer in general (from a random team)?

Also, if he did receive an offer it must be serious considering he's meeting with us.

[Miamarlin21]

Maybe he just wants a free meal?

[Ramp]

do it, fuckin do it

[MiamiHomer]

Ramp work the phones and find out stuff!

[Omar]

Any word on where the meeting is taking place?

[Miamarlin21]

Maybe we will sign Reyes intime to be a jersey model for Friday night??

[Big Z]

Any word on where the meeting is taking place?

Maybe in DR? 2 birds with 1 stone, Reyes and Cespedes?

[Bobbob1313]

There would be no more exciting a 1-4 in baseball if we signed him, that's for certain.

Reyes

Reyes
Boni
Hanley
Stanton
Morrison
Gaby
Buck
Cespeds

Where is Infante? Lol

[Miamarlin21]

Fixed, sorry.
--------------------
However, I like Boni in the starting lineup if he is for real.

[Omar]

Actually, this is a legit question.

If we sign both Reyes and Cespedes, does the latter start on the bench? It's hard to see Bonifacio not being in the Opening Day lineup after his '11 season. Reyes starts at SS and Hanley is at 3B if he's ready to go right away. Does Cespedes start on the bench? In the minors?
