DALLAS -- It is the new image of baseballs moneyed elite: For the second time in three days, the Miami Marlins walked up to the winter meetings podium to introduce a high-priced free agent while working doggedly behind the scenes to bring more sparkling stars to baseballs newest ballpark. The Marlins, dominating the market under art dealer-owner Jeffrey Loria, increased their spending spree to US$191 million in less than a week, agreeing Wednesday to a $58 million, four-year contract with left-hander Mark Buehrle just hours after finalizing a deal with all-star shortstop Jose Reyes. "Now how about three more?" new manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Hey, you shoot for the moon, just in case." Quite a turnabout for a team that had the major leagues lowest payroll in 2006. "The minnows have become Marlins," agent Scott Boras said. With Albert Pujols unwilling to accept their $200 million-plus proposal, the Marlins turned their attention to pitching in an effort to get off to a quick start in April at their $515 million, retractable-roof stadium. It has never been clear that the three-time NL MVP, coming off his second World Series title in six seasons, would be willing to leave the St. Louis Cardinals. "Im hoping they keep the other animal in St. Louis," said former Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez, now skipper of the NL East rival Atlanta Braves. Marlins president David Samson said the team had withdrawn its offer to Pujols. And while the first baseman still had not announced a decision, there were other moves on the third day of the four-day session. Colorado traded closer Huston Street to San Diego for a player to be named and cash, Minnesota finalized a $4.75 million deal with closer Matt Capps and Pittsburgh completed agreements with Ottawa left-hander Erik Bedard ($4.5 million) and outfielder Nate McLouth ($1.75 million). The Pirates also acquired infielder Yamaico Navarro from the Kansas City for a pair of minor leaguers. San Francisco finalized a trade to obtain outfielder Angel Pagan and a player to be named or cash from the New York Mets for outfielder Andres Torres and right-hander Ramon Ramirez. The New York Yankees, unusually quiet at the annual gathering, won negotiating rights to shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima of the Seibu Lions in Japans Pacific League. If they sign him within 30 days, they would pay the Lions a posting fee of $2.5 million. In the evening, three free agents returned to their former clubs by accepting the salary arbitration offers made last month: Boston designated hitter David Ortiz, Milwaukee reliever Francisco Rodriguez and Toronto second baseman Kelly Johnson. And just before midnight, the Houston Astros hired Jeff Luhnow as general manager. Luhnow, who had been the Cardinals vice-president of scouting and player development, is the seventh new GM in the majors since the end of the season. Texas general manager Jon Daniels sounded resigned to losing ace C.J. Wilson, another pitcher Miami had pursued. "I havent received a call to say hes chosen to go elsewhere, but were prepared for that call," Daniels said. After winning the 2003 World Series and then dismantling the roster because of a lack of revenue, Loria is collecting free agents like old masterpieces, trying to build a sound Miami machine with the funds provided by the new stadium and an expected boost in attendance. Guillen and Buehrle were together on the Chicago White Sox this season, when the 32-year-old pitcher went 13-9 with a 3.59 ERA and won his third straight Gold Glove. "This kid is special," Guillen said. "He pitched in the big scenarios, big moments, very tough city to pitch. When people love you in Chicago that means something." Buehrles deal is subject to a physical, which the sides were arranging. Reyes, a four-time all-star, finalized a $106 million, six-year contract, two days after closer Heath Bell completed a $27 million, three-year deal with the Marlins. Wanting to get started with talks right away, Loria and Marlins officials met Reyes and his agent just past midnight on Nov. 3, the start of the signing period, at a table outside Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle hotel in New York. "12:01. Those guys are crazy," Reyes said. "They showed me a lot of love." The cash-strapped Mets, who signed him when he was 16, never made a formal offer. "If youre asking whether I should have sent him a box of chocolates, perhaps I should have done that," general manager Sandy Alderson said. "But on the other hand, the box of chocolates would have cost $106 million." Wholesale Jerseys . Quesne finished with four straight birdies to lead at 9 under.

The 2008 champion was forced into a final-set tiebreaker after failing to serve out the match. Benneteau only converted three of his 11 break-point chances against the hard-serving Tsonga, who hit a total of 15 aces -- five in each set. PHOENIX -- Ian Kennedys biggest concern Monday night turned out to be Dexter Fowler -- not because of his bat, though. Kennedy had a bases-clearing triple past Fowler and scattered five hits over eight strong innings Monday night, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 6-3. "I knew I hit it a long way but Fowlers pretty fast," Kennedy said. "I just kept saying, Get down. Get down. It felt good to finally do something in that situation." Paul Goldschmidt homered and Willie Bloomquist added an RBI double for the Diamondbacks, who have won a season-high seven straight home games and five of six overall. Josh Rutledge hit his first career home run and doubled, and Carlos Gonzalez also homered for the Rockies, losers in five of six. Kennedy (8-8) allowed two runs and struck out seven en route to his second straight win. Kennedy has lasted eight innings in each of his past two starts, giving up three runs on 13 hits across the 16 innings. "I went out there and just wanted to do it like we did it last year and just pound the zone," Kennedy said. "Overall I feel like Im locating my changeup better, that its down instead of up." After Mike Zagurski gave up a long home run to Gonzalez leading off the ninth and walked Michael Cuddyer, J.J. Putz entered and finished for his 18th save. Jonathan Sanchez (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits and four walks in his first start for the Rockies. Sanchez was acquired from Kansas City on Friday. Sanchez was designated for assignment by the Royals a week ago. "I was over the plate more than Im used to," Sanchez said. "I made a mistake and youve got to pay for that." Goldschmidts leadoff homer in the second gave the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead. Arizona appeared ready to squander a scoring opportunity in the fourth when Justin Upton and Goldschmidt failed to advance from second and third on Miguel Monteros single that bounced off the right-field fence on one hop. Tyler Colvin threw out Montero easily as he retreated to first after looking up to see Upton returning to second with Goldschmidt only a handful of steps past third. "II didnt know how close he was to me," Goldschmidt said.dddddddddddd "From where I was I thought he was going to run it down. I was just thankful someone drove me in after I made that mistake." After Chris Young popped up for the second out, Sanchez intentionally walked Ryan Roberts to get to Kennedy, who entered the game with one hit in 28 at-bats. But the right-hander lined a drive into left-centre, clearing the bases with a triple to give the Diamondbacks a 4-0 lead. "Ive never seen him hit a ball that hard or far in batting practice and Ive been here for seven years," said Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson. Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy said its often the outcome of one pitch that can decide the outcome. "We made a bad pitch to a guy whos not a real good hitter after an intentional walk and he cleared the bases," Tracy said. "That was the difference in the game." Rutledge homered with two outs in the fifth and scored on Fowlers single to centre with two outs in the eighth for the Rockies two runs. Upton scored on a sacrifice fly by Roberts in the eighth.
