Agreed, my point was is that I don't believe Miami will fire sale right after a successful season simply due to the contracts they handed out this off-season. How many teams can afford Reyes, let alone the prospects/picks that it will require to get a deal done? Same goes for Buehrle, but more so due to his salary. The team may just be together for a long time based on player/salary relationship - that was my point. I think Lauria is serious about being competitive for more than the first three years - especially entering a new phase in their franchise with it's re-branding and stadium.
