Are you kidding? That's insane. It may be fine to have the roof open up in the air conditioned suite he sits in, and I get it - there are occasionally some nights where there's a relatively nice breeze that it's not so bad out, but come on man? You're just asking people to be miserable and not come back.

AFAIK, there's no cap you can offer to a single player, but there's a cap you can spend overall. So, I believe you could spend all your funds on one guy, or distribute the funds over 3 or 4 guys.

Oh, I didn't understand that. So basically they could put you anywhere - wherever they want to assign you? Or I wonder if you buy it for a certain section for those 10 games? Because otherwise, isn't that what they do for the other 71 games? Oh you showed up, you're in seat ## in the outfield.

Someone was saying Seattle only had 250K left, and I believe you can only trade in 250K increments.

Yeah, if I can flexibly go to any game I feel like (I assume the base 10 would be set games) and move around as is customary at Marlins games, it sounds like a good deal.

It's interesting that it's for all 81 (well, 71) games. It'll be interesting to see how this works. Wouldn't be totally crazy to try it here as a way to get people in the door, though I'd worry about backlash if they take it away later.

Roger Roger -- Maybin to Mariners for a prospect and IFA money.

Mish now saying Maybin is who the Marlins/Mariners are discussing, with IFA money probably involved.

Heyman said we're talking to teams about Dietrich and Bour.

Me either, but I expected some IFA money too. Heres why there isn't... they're paying his salary.

Hmm...

I'm sure there's more to the deal.

Apparently Eveld is from Coral Springs and went to USF.

how do you embed tweets?

Mish now saying Jarlin is taking Ziegler's spot on and is headed to Atlanta. But "still waiting team Ziegler is going to" LOL.

I mean....the Marlins get the same treatment.

Mark Feisand, Jon Morosi, and Jon Heyman have all said the opposite - hasn't been dealt yet, but deal may be close. and not to the Cubs.

I agree, however, a good thing to point out is by "absorb," he may have meant the acquiring team can take his salary without hitting luxury tax.

A few notes from MLBTR: -The Yankees have been in touch with the Marlins about both Cameron Maybin and Ziegler, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com (Twitter links). New York has reportedly been eyeing an extra outfielder with Aaron Judge and Clint Frazier on the DL, and Maybin would fit that bill, while Ziegler would further deepen an already solid ’pen by giving them a strong weapon against right-handed opponents. -The Cubs do not have an agreement in place with the Marlins, but they remain the front-runner to land his services, per MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro. However, other teams remain in the mix to acquire him, per Frisaro, who notes that the Indians, Red Sox, Dodgers and Astros have all scouted Ziegler in recent weeks. -USA Today’s Bob Nightengale tweets that the Cubs are indeed expected to land a reliever today and are engaged with the Marlins in trade talks surrounding Ziegler (Twitter link). -SiriusXM’s Craig Mish tweets that the Indians are still in the picture for Ziegler as well. Mish also suggested last night that the Marlins are aiming to move Ziegler to a team that can absorb the remaining money on his contract (roughly $2.95MM, as previously noted above) and also has international bonus pool money to spare. Miami was connected last week to top international prospect Victor Victor Mesa (per MASNsports.com’s Byron Kerr, on Twitter), so it’d be reasonable to see the Fish try to boost their pool as teams await Mesa to be cleared for free agency by MLB.

Wrong thread.

I had done this a while back in an attempt to mix the old and new logos: I like 6 the best. Not sure why I can't get it to display without having to click the link.
