January 14, 201016 yr I find it incredibly interesting that this happened a day after the Marlins got publicly dressed down by the commissioner's office for not spending enough of the revenue sharing money. I'd still love to know if the $30 million figure that has been thrown out there (as to what Jeffrey Loria was pocketing a year) is accurate. Either way, I am ecstatic that Josh Johnson is signed and hope this is the start of bigger and better things...
January 14, 201016 yr would be interesting to see the marlins books but obviously they had the money for this deal and it feels good especially with the stadium funds secured.

January 15, 201016 yr I don't like the move. If he gets hurt, we're in deep doo-doo. Pitchers coming off of injury are extremely volatile/injury prone.

Either way, I am ecstatic that Josh Johnson is signed and hope this is the start of bigger and better things... I haven't heard that number anywhere but it doesn't make any sense. Stark said yesterday that he believes the Marlins are getting $40M, I don't think there's anyway they are only using $10M of that. The rumor out there isn't even that he was pocketing it, but that the Marlins were using some of the money for non-baseball operations, like advertising and paying for the stadium. I always assumed they were using some of it for stuff like that but never knew it was against the rules of the CBA.

January 15, 201016 yr I don't like the move. If he gets hurt, we're in deep doo-doo. Pitchers coming off of injury are extremely volatile/injury prone. Now over a year and a half since returning from injury, having pitched a full season in that time....

January 15, 201016 yr i really have no problem if the money went towards the stadium and mlb would never force them to jepordize the stadium funds so its clear that this was done the right way.

You might have no problem and neither would I, but the MLBPA would have a problem and it's against the rules of the CBA.

A team like pittsburgh however would have no excuse. after all the stadium issues i just cant see mlb telling the marlins they need to find other money for the stadium.

Now over a year and a half since returning from injury, having pitched a full season in that time.... Plus, it's not like it was a torn labrum. Tommy John surgery is generally very successful. And with a talent like JJ, sometimes you need to take a risk.
