MIAMI (AP) The Miami Marlins' top baseball executive says it's too early to tell whether the team will be able to reach agreements with several of their young players who have been offered long-term contracts.

The offers came after the Marlins sealed a record $325 million, 13-year deal with slugger Giancarlo Stanton last month. The Marlins seek more modest multiyear agreements with right-hander Jose Fernandez, left fielder Christian Yelich, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria and center fielder Marcell Ozuna.

None is yet eligible for arbitration.

President of baseball operations Mike Hill says those negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, Hill and his staff are preparing for the winter meetings next week in San Diego, where they'll be shopping for a first baseman and starting pitcher.
