MLB Baseball Odds: Marlins reach 6-year deal with Jose Reyes

For those that didn't get the memo, the Florida Marlins are the Miami Marlins, but that's not the only move they made.
Today the Marlins made a monster signing, New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes is bringing his talents to South Beach for six years and $106 million.
The 28-year-old Reyes batted .337/.384/.493 for the Mets in 2011 and should be elite again at the top of Miami's lineup in 2012. Reyes joins reliever Heath Bell and recently-traded manager Ozzie Guillen to a new-look team.
The Marlins have been in pursuit of St. Louis Cardinal Albert Pujols and Milwaukee Brewer Prince Fielder, no telling whether they'll dip into their cap to make a run at those two now (or if they can even afford it).
Betting Analysis: The Marlins ain't messing around. It's almost difficult to keep track of what deal they're actually involved in because they've made a run at anyone wanting $10 million-plus. For them to get their money's worth out of Reyes the star shortstop has to stay healthy. By the way Hanley Ramirez isn't going anywhere, he'll be moving to third base.
Could this be a remix of the 1997 season, where they bought a World Series roster then scrapped it at the end of the season? Who knows? And for bettors, who cares. All that matters is the Marlins may be worth a look in MLB futures, get 'em while they're heating up.
