12:16 p.m. ET: A source has told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that the Cardinals are considering increasing the length of their offer to ten years in order to match Miami.
6:03 a.m. ET: The Miami Marlins have done more this offseason by signing closer Heath Bell and shortstop Jose Reyes than anyone could have asked for. But the team isn't done rocking the MLB world just yet, in fact, they are looking to reel in the biggest fish of all: Albert Pujols.
According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (still feels weird saying that), the Marlins have boosted their offer to the best player in baseball to ten-years in length. Heyman's colleague, Scott Miller, initially reported the Marlins increased their offer from nine-years after meeting with Pujols' agent, Dan Lozano, late Monday night.
While the Pujols negotiations continue to develop, the Marlins are looking seriously at free-agent starter C.J. Wilson. The Angels are currently seen as the favorites to land Wilson, but the Marlins "are as aggressive as anyone" in the C.J. Wilson sweepstakes, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi.

Where did Miami get all this money, all of a sudden?
In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.

Pretty much always had it.
But never had an incentive to spend it, because attendance was bad regardless given the stadium situation and they could maintain some semblance of contention while spending little on players, allowing the team to rake in major profits as a business.
