The new look and newly located Miami Marlins have gone on a shopping spree this offseason, picking up Jose Reyes, Carlos Zambrano, and Mark Buerhle, but at least one of their new acquisitions won't be able to live in Dade County. Buerhle, a hunting enthusiast and dog-lover who said he wished Michael Vick had gotten hurt during last year's NFL playoffs, owns a pitbull, but the breed has been banned in Miami-Dade County since 1989. He has said his family will live in neighboring Broward County, which, ironically enough, is where the Marlins used to play, before they moved to downtown Miami.
