Florida Marlins make offer to free agent Mark Buehrle – MLB News
Former Chicago White Sox and current free agent pitcher, Mark Buehrle is certainly making some news with his high calibre star studded stature and long professional career as a top pitcher, whom every team wants to include in their roster for the next Major
League Baseball season.
Buehrle, who is currently a free agent, has been approached by several MLB teams including Florida Marlins, New York Yankees and New York Mets but only the Marlins have showed enough confidence in him as he was given an official offer from the Marlins’ management
on Friday.
According to sources, Buehrle along with Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes have also been given an offer from the top management while giving comments on these offers, the Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria seemed pretty confident and looked very excited as he told
the media some details.
Loria said, “We're looking at everyone. We want to make this team as special as we can and we would be foolish not to entertain the possibilities of some of these players. It's just one of those things that mean you're going forward. We've had our hands
tied for a long time.”
Last week, Buehrle also visited the Marlins new ballpark and looked confident on his welcome arrival to the new facility. On the other hand, since Ozzie Guillen has joined the Florida Marlins after coming from the White Sox organisation, he too is very excited
to bring some potential players into the Marlins, in a process to rebuild the team,
Guillen, who has also supervised Mark Buehrle during his managerial stay with the White Sox, knows very well how talented he is. Buehrle, however, not considering this opportunity as the final one, in-fact he is more determined to explore his future chances
in order to get some extra beneficial contract from another team in the League.
It will be interesting to see which team finally manages to acquire Buehrle and what type of impact that he may have on his new prospective team. The Marlins will be looking for a positive response from Buehrle as they feel that he is exactly what they need
as they try to re-build their team.
