December 13, 200520 yr Umm...who cares? It isn't like Dillon is going to be a great major leaguer, and why should we stand in his way for the chance for greater success (and a bigger payday) in Japan. We're probably getting money. Dillon isn't that good. Good move. Dillon is a solid utility guy, but why not let him do what he wants and go to Japan...
December 13, 200520 yr Damn FO... give Joe Dirt a chance in '06. WTF?? Maybe "The Crow" will be his manager.
December 21, 200520 yr it's official now... Posted on Tue, Dec. 20, 2005 Dillon leaving Marlins to play in Japan Associated Press MIAMI - Infielder Joe Dillon was not offered a contract by the Florida Marlins on Tuesday, freeing him to join the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese league. Teams had until midnight Tuesday to offer 2006 contracts to their unsigned players. Players on rosters not offered contracts by the so-called tender deadline become free agents. Teams sometimes refuse to offer contracts to those players in order to avoid salary arbitration. The Marlins will receive cash considerations in exchange for not tendering a contract to Dillon, who hit .167 in 36 at-bats this past season.
