Officially done.

 

Omar Poveda and Evan Reed on the way to our system.

 

Reed headed to AA Jacksonville. Poveda on the DL

Good Job by the F.O.

 

Best Of Luck to Jorge!

He did a great job in his time as a Marlins and should do well platooning in Texas.

He Goooooone!

I wouldn't be surprised if he got more PT instead of only platooning....Chris Davis is awful

All the best to Jorge. I'll miss yelling like a stereotypical Mexican during his walkup music most of all.

Best of luck to Cantu. Hope he can find his groove there.

It's been pretty depressing watching Cantu play lately. It reminds me of Mike Lowell's last year with the Marlins before he went to the Red Sox. You just sat there scratching your head and wondering "what happened?" Cantu was doing really well earlier this season. Hopefully he'll have better luck with the Rangers. Now watch...next year, Cantu will win a Gold Glove..just wait..

Good luck Jorge. I won't miss you.

Good luck Jorge. I won't miss you.

Looking at the numbers, Poveda looks like he might be able to turn into something decent.

Cantu was an unsung hero here in FL for quite a while, but this move is best for everyone, really. I wish him the best

 

Anyone know anything about these two prospects?

Best of luck to Jorge, I wish you nothing but success and thank you for your service and for being a Marlins. Welcome newcomers ! :thumbup

Jorge wasn't unsung at all. If anything, he was overhyped. That said, he was a class act and I wish him all the best in Texas.

good luck jorge. he was my favorite marlin during his time on the team. i think he'll do a much better job playing 1st base than 3rd as his previous stats show.

Good luck Jorge. I won't miss you.

 

 

 

thats really quite thickheaded. he came as a minor league free agent invited to spring training and gave 2 great years before this one and just because he has had a couple of bad months you are really trashing his entire time here. jorge was a class act on and off the field and he will be missed.

Good luck, Jorge. One of the best Marlins games I've been to was a day game against the Phillies where he had a walk-off hit. I got sunburned like crazy, but it was well worth it.

I will always love him for the game he was Mic'd up for.

Good luck Jorge. I won't miss you.

1. That's not what I meant. I won't miss him because he no longer adds anything to this team. It's nice we got him a bargain, sure.

 

2. He was never great, here. People should stop saying that.

 

He was a ~.800 .OPS bat the last 2 years who played horrible defense at 3B. For a corner infielder, the guy was pretty much average, even during his best years.

 

Great are Hanley Ramirez, Josh Johnson, and Dan Uggla.

Maybe he meant that Cantu was great for a guy who had done nothing since '05 and battled injuries and thrived off a ST invite

Good Luck Jorge in Texas. One of my favorite Marlins on and off the field for the past two years.

Jorge was a class guy. It's sad to see him go, but it was time. I'm glad the organization got something in return for him as he was almost surely gone after the season anyway. I'm going to miss the way the spanish announcer said his last name at the ballpark. Cantuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

obai.

 

Wiz/Helms platoon... engage.

I hope he wouldn't become a journey man.

Be well, Jorge.

good luck in long horn state you help us as much you can ty cantu
