Jose Reyes To Meet With Marlins
By Tim Dierkes [November 7 at 3:47pm CST]
3:47pm: The Marlins contacted Reyes one minute into the free agent signing period, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. A group of Marlins executives went to New York this week and it appears they were going to visit Reyes’ agent, Peter Greenberg.
2:38pm: Free agent shortstop Jose Reyes is scheduled to meet with the Marlins, according to WFAN's Mike Francesa (Twitter link). The tweet says that Reyes has received an offer, but my guess is nothing has been formally presented at this early stage.
The Marlins' interest in Reyes is real, so what would become of Hanley Ramirez if they sign Reyes? Marlins president David Samson told MLB.com's Joe Frisaro there have been no conversations about moving Ramirez to another position, but I'd be surprised if the Fish haven't discussed the possibility internally. A trade could be another option.
Major free agents typically sign in December or January, so much remains to be seen about the composition of Reyes' market.

I find it at least somewhat interesting that the Marlins would contact Reyes. Obviously, most teams would want to at least kick the tires and see what it would cost to sign him. Still, Hanley and the club have not had the smoothest relationship.
