The Miami Marlins have reportedly landed their biggest fish to date.
Superstar shortstop Jose Reyes will trade one NL East team for another by agreeing to terms with the Marlins, according to Dino Costa of SiriusXM Radio on Sunday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Costa curiously did note that the deal would be completed if current Miami shortstop Hanley Ramirez agrees to move to third base.
Reyes, who met with the Marlins on Wednesday, won the National League batting title with a .337 average, but endured another injury-plagued season with the Mets.
The All-Star shortstop appeared in 126 games this season and 133 games in 2010. Injuries limited him to 36 games in 2009.
In nine seasons with the Mets, Reyes has a career .292 batting average with 370 stolen bases in 1,050 games.

If the reports that the Miami Marlins have extended a 6 year, $90 million dollar contract offer to Jose Reyes are true, I think it is time for Mets fans to make their peace with the fact that Reyes will not be returning next season. While the loss of the organization's most popular player certainly deals a blow to the hopes of any Met fan hoping their team could remain in contention...

NYDN: If Reyes goes, Mets should admit they’re rebuilding
“At 28, however, [Jose Reyes] is young enough to be a centerpiece when the young pitching finally makes its presence felt. And that’s the dilemma for the people running the Mets. … Alderson and his lieutenants do have a plan for the future. But if Reyes leaves, they should just admit that 2012 isn’t part of it. Otherwise their fans have a right to ask if this is New York...

Last week it was “Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!” as Dr. Peter Venkman would say.
Now it’s “well well Sandy still hasn’t made his offer”
Yeah and neither have the other teams who are interested.
The biggest reason I’m not all over Alderson for not “making an offer,” is because I feel he’s testing the market. Just like the Cardinals are testing...

There are two aspects to the Miami Marlins & Jose Reyes saga that I haven’t really heard mentioned yet.
The first is that the Marlins had to put up $155 million for the stadium, plus purchase an additional $100 million in parking from the city. These funds do not include any additional stadium cost. Frankly, I’m not sure who paid the staff when they were at the old stadium...

With the news that Jose Reyes and the Marlins are getting closer and closer to reaching a deal, it may become time to seriously consider what life for the New York Mets will be like without Jose Reyes.
It is highly unlikely that Reyes or any other big name free agent will sign until the new CBA is in place, but the two sides could easily put together a deal that is just waiting...

Sources: Marlins pursue Pujols, Reyes
According to sources the Marlins have made substantial offers to both Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols.
Pujols, who has played with the St. Louis Cardinals for his entire 11-year major-league career is this offseason's prize free agent. The game's premier hitter and quality first baseman turned down a 10-year, $200 million deal to re-sign with St. Louis a year ago.
Reyes, with...
Darren Rovell: Mets are desperate for season ticket sales
Matthew Cerrone: Well, the Mets didn’t do themselves any favors by setting the renewal date so early (Nov. 7), since – at that point – those fans had no idea what they’re agreeing to pay to see (i.e., Jose Reyes). To be honest, I have heard from more fans this November - compared to years past – saying they do not intend to make that type of investment next year. In...
