"If Jose Reyes came away from his Wednesday meeting with the Marlins with a strong sense they want him, it wasn't because they rolled out a wheelbarrow full of money.

According to a source who spoke with a Marlins' front office member, the club has yet to make Reyes an official contract offer. That's not to say one isn't forthcoming. The Marlins are aggressively pursuing the free agent shortstop to play alongside fellow Dominican Hanley Ramirez, who presumably would move to third.

Team president David Samson on Wednesday was a guest on both MLB Network Radio and 790 The Ticket for his regular show. He wasn't all that revealing, but he did confirm lunch at Joe's Stone Crab and giving Reyes a stadium tour. Asked if Reyes was a priority signing, Samson said: "I would certainly count him amongst our priorities, but we have a priority that includes pitching and position players. We have multiple priorities.""
