Jose Reyes

The Marlins initial offer to free agent shortstop Jose Reyes was a six-year, $90-million contract, according to FOXSports.com. Reyes is reportedly intrigued by playing in the warm weather in Miami, as well as playing for manager Ozzie Guillen.

Miami made the offer to Reyes last week, and also reportedly offered deals to three other free agents: first baseman Albert Pujols, pitcher Mark Buehrle and closer Ryan Madson.

But according to the New York Post’s Joel Sherman, Reyes is looking for a contract worth a minimum of $100 million and will not sign for anything less. Reyes batted .337 and stole 39 bases last season with the Mets. The shortstop has spent his entire nine-year career with New York.

If the Marlins are able to sign Reyes, Miami will have to decide how to deal with current shortstop Hanley Ramirez. The team may want to move him to a different position, like third base, but according to a tweet from the Miami Herald’s Clark Spencer, Ramirez is not happy with the prospect of changing positions.
