MLB fans from across North America were chomping at the bit the last few weeks for some news to come out about their favorite sport. This week, they no longer had to wait, as several teams made major shake ups to their organizations. Here is the latest bookie software offseason news.

The Miami Marlins are hoping to become the biggest fish in the sea this coming season. Miami was finally able to put pen to paper on a six year $100 million deal with oft-injured former New York Mets short stop Jose Reyes. As a result, questions are now beginning to circulate as to whether or not current short stop Hanley Ramirez will be moved either to third base or traded away all together, to land a pitcher.

If the Marlins can keep both Ramirez and sign a few members to the pitching staff that will turn the team around quickly. Speaking of the pitching staff, the Miami Marlins are in the hunt for a starter, after signing former San Diego Padre closer Heath Bell to a mammoth three-year $31 million contract. Just having Reyes and Bell alone could be the veteran moves the Marlins need to turn their franchise around.

Another team making major moves this week, in fact today, was sports betting juggernaut the Toronto Blue jays. The lone Canadian franchise in the MLB, shocked everyone, when they traded star pitching prospect Nestor Molina to the Chicago White Sox, for former Blue Jays short stop turned closer Sergio Santos. This trade came as a huge surprise, as for weeks, its been speculated that Toronto would either sign a free agent closer such as the aforementioned Heath Bell, or trade with the Oakland Athletics for their closer Andrew Bailey. Santos is an interesting commodity, as he’s only really had one full season in the MLB, which was this past one, where he had 30 saves in 36 opportunities.
