Marlins Making Move For C.J. Wilson

There have been several hours since the last Miami Marlins signed one of the best free agents in MLB winter meetings in Dallas before, but the team Loria shopping spree is not over yet.

When the court, the team of Albert Pujols seemed doomed to failure, Miami quickly signed a deal to former White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle in Miami. The team could sign another pitcher on Thursday, probably at the end of his dramatic metamorphosis in a week.

The team reports Texas Rangers CJ Wilson ACE has offered a six-year contract on Wednesday evening. He also received an offer from the Los Angeles Angels for five years, and planned to meet both teams Wednesday night. Financial details of the Marlins case is not known, but the angels' deal is believed to be in the neighborhood of $ 70 million.

Wilson is a Californian who said that the idea of ​​pitching look closely at home, but the extra year in the Marlins' offer may be able to influence it.

A converted reliever Wilson started 67 games over the last two years in Texas, going from 31 to 15 with a 3.14 ERA. In 2011, he hit 8.30 batters per nine innings, with opponents hit only .230 against him.

Should we sign with the Marlins, the team would probably be trotting on a rotation of 2012 Wilson and the newly acquired Josh Buehrle Johnson, Anibal Sanchez and Ricky Nolasco. You would not be with this rotation is very happy, at Philadelphia, the four aces, but all other teams.

Wilson was also the fourth major sign free agent with the Marlins this week, in addition to Buehrle, SS Jose Reyes and closer Heath Bell. A marlin has been lobbying hard to Wilson signs with Miami: Logan Morrison. Twitter, the two are friends.

As for Prince Fielder, the plan seems broken, hours after he had appeared to be the team the next target. Multiple outputs reported Wednesday night that the team does not try to sign it.

The Marlins also worked Wednesday to reports that Hanley Ramirez at the trading platform block is canceled. Team president David Samson said the Palm Beach Post, "We are not evil [Ramirez and his performance], they are not angry against us, it's a very bizarre. This rumor is not really good . "

Ramirez should have been a restructuring of its own contract on learning new shortstop Jose Reyes asked outearn.

MLB Free Agency Open Thread

This winter meetings with a big league, we can expect a flurry of free agent acquisitions and sealed in the coming days to keep track of all, I am creating this group: If you hear news or an interesting or signature - Please share your comments box.

Things are off to a roaring start yesterday, the newly-christened the Miami Marlins make a big splash, shortstop Jose Reyes has agreed with that. Now the problem is that they can attract Albert Pujols in South Beach to create a triumvirate of baseball (with Hanley Ramirez) with their counterparts in the NBA, the heat.

The Marlins also officially announced the signing of the bell heather on three years, $ 27 million deal.

Other news today's free agent Jerry Hairston has signed a two-year, $ 6 million - and resigns himself to the Twins for Matt Capps one-year contract.
