#Marlins give Mark Buehrle tour of new ballpark, and trip around the city, including a stop at the beach. Marlins making strong push

A trip around the city? Yikes!

 

But just the good parts of town. Prob showed him Lebron's place.

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, it's "highly unlikely" the Yankees make a serious run at free agent left-hander Mark Buehrle.

That's always good

The Yankees appear to be interested in Edwin Jackson now.

So, it's probably between Us, the Red Sox and the Rangers now.

I think we're pretty early in the process.I would have to think his hometown Cards and crosstown Cubs are in play.

Nobody cares where Heyman lives... this topic is about Buehrle

Completely forgot about them.

 

This is going to be very interesting.

Kenny Williams doesn't think Buerhle is coming back to the South Side.

 

Quote:

The long pauses from general manager Ken Williams seemed to indicate that he was bracing for the worst.

 

While Williams spoke proudly of the White Sox’s high rankings in starters’ innings and quality starts over the past 10 years, he acknowledged that the possibility of free agent staff ace Mark Buehrle returning appears more difficult than the last-hour decision that resulted in slugger Paul Konerko re-signing with the Sox last December.

 

“Listen, it’s professional sports,� Williams said at a hotel restaurant at the general managers’ meetings. “There’s a time for everyone to come. There’s a time for everyone to go. I don’t know if this is his time to go. … I don’t want this to come out the wrong way because he has been as consistent of a performer as you’d ever want over the time he’s been here.

 

“What I will miss more than that is the person he is. And you guys know what I’m talking about. When you talk about teammates, good teammates, supportive teammates, guys who have fun in the game, know when to be serious, know when to check somebody but know when to make somebody laugh, this is the guy you want. There’s much more that we’re going to miss than just every fifth day from Mark.

 

“So if it comes down to he’s not here, we got to make the adjustment. That’s just the business of baseball. But it doesn’t mean we like it. It doesn’t mean that’s our preferred course. It doesn’t mean we won’t want him here. Just means this is kind of the way it has to be.�

 

Buehrle, 32, who has 161 victories, reportedly has an offer from Miami and is being courted by several other teams coveting a successful a well-rounded left-hander. That could make it even more difficult for the Sox, who have earmarked nearly $92 million to 13 players with a payroll ceiling of less than $127 million.

 

“We have not chartered our course yet,� said Williams, declining to get into specifics. “In a few short weeks, we’ll have all the information.�

I feel pretty strongly about Buehrle becoming a Marlin too, someone just needs to pinch me!

Whoa.

 

 

Sh*t just got real.

Joe Capozzi just Tweeted: "#Marlins met with Mark Buehrle agent today. Don't b shocked if they get him

I would support a Buehrle signing.

Is Joe Capozzi usually conservative about reporting these kinds of things? (Not that we're usually in on FAs, but just curious)

Is this real life?

Cubs, Buehrle's Agent Have Had Multiple Discussions

 

By Luke Adams [November 15, 2011 at 10:02pm CST]

The Cubs have had multiple discussions with Mark Buehrle's agent Jeff Berry, a source tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter link). Berry also met with Marlins earlier today.

Earlier in November, we heard that the Cubs would have interest in the longtime White Sox pitcher "if the price tag and years aren't astronomical." Considering the number of Buehrle rumors we've heard so far this offseason, there appears to be plenty of competition, but we don't have a clear idea yet of the years and dollars the lefty might be offered.

The Nationals, Diamondbacks, White Sox, and Rangers are among the other clubs who could be in on the bidding for Buehrle's services.

I think the Cubs will get Fielder and Buehrle to kickstart Theo's reign.

Reyes 6yr/90Mil Pujols 9yr/225M (allegedly) Buehrle ??/??

 

WTF are the Marlins doing? Are they foreal?

I may need to stop following this off-season and check back in around march because I'm not sure I can handle this

Seriously, I was about to go to bed before I saw this. Can't sleep now.

#marlins telling teams nolasco not available now. maybe after they sign a FA pitcher?

that would be the smart move...there's a lot of "?" marks surrounding the starting pitching at this point. JJ's health, ricky's large contract, volstad's suckiness, and vazquez's retirement status. It wouldn't be cool to go into the season with a starting staff in shambles but have a monstrous offense (assuming they actually signed some big bats like they've been rumored to).
