Um, this is real, not some Deadspin joke right? And note this is the Marlins president paraphrasing Jose but…(the bold and underline are mine)
Oh, and remember how Jose Reyes said he came to the Marlins because “I see the plan that they have, the great young talent that they have there in Miami, and I think it’s a good opportunity to win?” Yeah, no. Samson sort of blew up Reyes’s spot:
“[Reyes] said ‘I really want to play in Miami as long as you pay me $1 more than anyone else… I really want to make the most money I can.'”

With this guy, Ozzie Guillen, Hanley and Reyes, a Marlins Police would make a killing this year.
If this isn’t an early April Fool’s joke, I think we should congratulate the Marlins’ president for topping Fred Wilpon’s magazine interview last year.
