Miami Marlins

The Miami Marlins have reportedly reached an agreement with outfielder Michael Morse on a two-year deal.

Joe Frisaro of MLB.com confirmed the signing was complete:

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports provided the financial details:

The Miami Marlins are looking to sign their biggest stars long term and have offered yet another young player a long-term deal. This time, it's pitcher Jose Fernandez who was reportedly offered a six-year, $40 million contract.    

MLB's official Twitter account passed along the report:

Giancarlo Stanton is rich. You and I are not. 

Perhaps this explains why we weren’t slamming $20,000 champagne and presumably playing high-stakes ostrich polo with Stanton inside a Miami nightclub this week.

Are you jealous of Giancarlo Stanton, the Miami Marlins outfielder who, as you've heard by now, has agreed to a record-setting contract that will pay him $325 million over 13 years?

I hope Giancarlo Stanton has this contract written in blood. Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria's blood. That's the only sane way to sign your life over to the Marlins.

Think about it. We know Loria. We've watched his act. Things are never as they appear. Come on, 13 years and $325 million? This guy is a carnival barker.

Whenever Major League Baseball gets a new record-sized contract, it's tempting to get into hand-wringing and bellyaching about the league's eternally reckless spending.

But that's not what we're here to do with Giancarlo Stanton and the Miami Marlins. Rather, we're here to issue a well-deserved toast to both parties.

Move over, A-Rod! The Miami Marlins have reportedly signed Giancarlo Stanton to the largest contract in baseball history at 13 years for $325 million, according to Miami Herald's Manny Navarro.

Giancarlo Stanton is about to ink a deal of epic proportions.

The Miami Marlins are close to signing the 25-year-old outfielder to the richest contract in baseball history: an unprecedented 13 years and a ghastly $325 million. The news was first reported by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
