Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest addressed the team's interest in free-agent shortstop Jose Reyes on Tuesday. Miami has created a buzz this offseason by courting big-name free agents after a long history of low-budgets. It was reported on Tuesday that the Marlins offered Reyes a six-year, $90 million contract. "In terms of Reyes, he's just a dynamic player," Beinfest said. "We've seen him a lot in our division. The speed tool, the fielding, the enthusiasm -- he plays with just a lot of joy on the baseball field -- and he's a game-changer in a lot of ways because of the tools he brings. He's a good player. He's a tough guy to play against." Asked if he thought the pursuit of Reyes might drag out, Beinfest pleaded the fifth. "You're probably asking the wrong guy," Beinfest said."We haven't been big in free agency here in a while. I know we signed Carlos Delgado in '05. Given our situation, we haven't been involved in a lot of free agency. I don't know. The truthful answer is you just don't know the timing of these things. You don't know what other peoples' agendas are. And you don't know where things are heading. "We would love to secure some players as soon as possible and try to get this team together so we can try to work on the rest of the offseason and make sure our payroll allocations are in the right place. It's just hard to say. Again, we've been aggressive on a number of fronts because we want to improve the team."
