Derek Jeter: "First Day of a New Era"
Prado, Gordon, the bullpen, Chen, Rojas, try to package a prospect and one of the bad contracts to clear salary like the Texans did with the Browns. They aren't great pieces, but teams would consider them upgrades and make moves for em. Grab some B/C prospects, hope one sticks. I think Chen can be worth something in return, to a team desperate for upgrades and would take a chance. Not a top 30 prospect from an organization but the money cleared is the real value.

Derek Jeter: "First Day of a New Era"
Keep the outfield and the catcher, maybe bour- sell the rest. Those 5 can be a decent offense.

Sale closed, Jeter/Sherman officially now run the team
I'm scared. Seriously. We knew what loria was capable of, idk what jeter is.

How will you react to the firesale?
With Chen having an opt out.... I hope the Marlins tell him he's going to be a reliever IF he's allowed back on the team, but they arent going to cut him..... so you might as well opt out if playing is important to you.

How will you react to the firesale?
I'd probably give up..... which is sad. Theres no legitimate baseball reason to break up a cost controlled core that has been one of the hottest in baseball and recordbreaking in the OF. Realmutto, Stanton, Yelich, Gordon, Bour are five guys you build an offense around knowing they are locked up and wont skyrocket.

Here's a question- who starts a wild card game? Or do we go with a bullpen game at this rate?

Tips for Taking Your Dog Out to the Ball Game
I can shorten this... dont take a Bitch to a ballgame- she'll ask you to leave in the third inning and you'll never round first base the rest of the night.

Who decided to close Stanton's stance?
You know, something that hit me earlier today..... I wonder how much of Bonds not coming back had to do with Stanton and his opinions of him, as both a mentor and a ballplayer. His 61* comment is kind of telling of what Bonds and McGwires accomplishments mean to him, I wonder if he respected him enough to learn from him last year too? I wonder if he didn't want him back. Wasn't it said that Mattingly didn't want Bonds back too?

Cote: New Marlins owners: Wanna be anti-Loria? Start with a commitment to keeping Stanton
http://amp.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/greg-cote/article168209752.html Cote is absolutely right. A new ownership group can't do the same purging the previous ones did. The goodwill will be completely lost- and they'd associate the jeter group with loria's. They cant even separate Huizinga, Henry and Loria. The best thing this group has going for it is the clout and prestige Jeters name brings, his popularity and the fact that everyone and their mother knows Jeter isn't Loria.

County says Marlins home-run sculpture in Miami "is not moveable"
Or they can leave it as it is.... i like the friggingthjng- just wish It'd pop up instead of sitting there like a pinball machine waiting to be turned on. CHanging it to special seats is just going to have it go unused. Only other idea is remove it and place it in the west plaza, fill it in with grass, and then try to keep a marlins logo flower arrangement there.

Steve Bartman and Law and Order
Episode: Law and Order from 2004- Vendetta. Murder Victim has a eerily similar background to Bartman. "Detective Lennie Briscoe: [finding the vic's ID] Brendan Donner. Ed Green: I thought he looked familiar! Dr. Judy Waxman: Not to me. I'm drawing a blank. Who is he? Detective Lennie Briscoe: Public enemy number one. At least in this city. Ed Green: League Championship Series, this dude goes for a foul ball, cost us the game and the pennant. Dr. Judy Waxman: We're talking about baseball? Detective Lennie Briscoe: Yeah. Instead of being the third out, the batter draws a walk. Next guy up hits a two-run homer and it's "wait 'till next year." Again. Ed Green: Looks like somebody was pissed off about waiting." How many of us Marlins fans saw this when it was first out?

The Carter Capps Thread
I think that's the issue here, they were concerned his delivery would be deemed illegal any day now and cut their losses. To take that out of his delivery will be a massive undertaking soon enough.

Loria agrees to sell Miami Marlins to Sherman and Jeter.
I don't know- 1.2 billion is a lot of money. If this was a 500m sale I'd understand. The team is already losing money. I'm sure there's agreements in place that allows someone else first crack at taking someone's stake if they want out. Its not like the expos of the 90's where loria made cash calls and everyone hung up. Im not concerned about the number of investors, and considering Mas kept trying to lower the bid from what I read I think this is the best case scenario. The whole baseball world will know we're under new ownership, and even casual fans and the "Today show" crowd. I think that's what MLB wanted most: didnt someone in here say Mas isn't respected in the Cuban community too?

why are we even sellers?
Tbh- you can treat your kid very well and treat him like a king or queen and still find out he's a little Shit who does dumb things and ruins his life. They spoiled him, idk if they supported him and ever told him to be an adult.

Hendo signs with Ducks
I don't think so- I remember a few guys going there and getting another shot. Hendo is different tho- he wants to get his stuff back and show teams he's healthy- not that he lost his stuff and can't pitch and had to go to Li
