That's another SS down. That leaves Rollins and Furcal.

....and Yuni.

He will be 34 by the end of the deal. Depending on how the money is split up I think this would have been a good deal for us. Much better than a 6/$120 deal for Fielder.

#marlins, reyes have a deal.

[BREWCREW5]

Anyone want to bet that he never hits over .310 again at the end of the season?

What a horrible deal, but about what I expected. Glad that it wasn't the Brewers.

[burnzy24]

Nothing like a team with a great young SS that is signed through 2014 going out and spending $17 million a year for 6 years for another SS.

Am I the only one that isn't worried about the Marlins at all? I congratulate them about getting a new stadium because that old stadium was terrible. I just don't see the fans of Miami caring one bit about the Marlins. I am sure they will be sold out for most of that first season but what happens if the team under performs? Oh and this contract is way too much money for a guy like Reyes. He is a good player buy not worth 6/106

What are they going to do with Ramirez now? It doesn't sound like he is going to want to switch positions. Is he going to ask for a trade out of Miami?

Don't worry, there's always Alex Gonzalez to fall back on. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't see why he wouldn't move to third.

Hanley going to 3rd from what i read, but the good news the time Melvin was going to talk to his agent can be spent elsewhere to find another SS.

[TooLiveBrew]

I'm really glad this deal is done. Now I don't have to worry about the Brewers being the "winner" in this lottery.

[MNBrew]

That's a scary contract. Rollins is less glitzy but still very reliable and definitely more affordable (relatively speaking). C'mon, Dougie!

[brewmann04]

If the talk of Jimmy wanting a 5 year deal you can rule out him ,thinking we getting Yuni back

[Invader3K]

I never figured the Brewers were realistic contenders to sign him, so not too worried about this. Betancourt doesn't need to be our next option, though.

[Ennder]

I'm sure Hanley doesn't want to move to 3B but I'm sure that moving to accommodate one of the bigger FA in baseball will ease the complaints too. Reyes is way too risky to sign for 6 years though so glad the Brewers didn't do it.

I'll take that one.

According to BNightengale (retweeted by Hardricourt), the Marlins still want to go after Baseball Jesus. I see another 1997 coming where the Marlins are a good team that then has to trade everything away because they can't afford it all.

[Invader3K]

Usually reliable Twitter source "Incarcerated Bob"saying that the Marlins are going to offer Pujols a contract in the $210-225 million range.

[MadScientist]

If Pujols goes to the Marlins and Fielder goes to Seattle, that will be a pretty good outcome for the Brewers, no matter what else happens.

I think their two World Series banners think that's ok.

I would actually love to see them do that again. Like jericho said, It seemed to work the first time.

Usually reliable Twitter source "Incarcerated Bob" saying that the Marlins are going to offer Pujols a contract in the $210-225 million range.

Remember when people were complaining about the Marlins not spending any money? Maybe they were stockpiling it & waiting to make their move. If this Pujols rumor is well-informed, then this is the Fish splurging to the tune of almost $350M in guaranteed money this offseason on just three players.
