About this Article

The Miami Marlins' spending spree a year ago didn't work, so now they're trying another payroll purge — shedding their biggest stars and their multimillion-dollar salaries in one blockbuster deal. Rebranded in a new ballpark at the start of 2012, the Marlins were up to their old ways Tuesday, swapping high-priced talent for top prospects. Miami traded All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and ace Josh Johnson to the Toronto Blue Jays, a person familiar with the agreement said.
