July 26, 201213 yr A potential blockbuster trade between the Marlins and the Rangers for Josh Johnson probably after his next start. Something tells me that the Rangers are holding out just to see if JJ pitches well after the recent news about the skin irritation on his finger.
July 26, 201213 yr The only team I think can get JJ would the the rangers, and it would take 2 of their best prospects including Olt at a minimum. Without that, JJ is here next year and if he is healthy and dominant he will get an extension.
July 26, 201213 yr Another 2-3 years of watching young talent not live up to potential. Fun. There seems to be a real divide between those who think its a fire sale and those who don't.
July 26, 201213 yr You can't win without spending lots of money. The Rays, A's, etc. are winning because they spend like the Yankees. And the Red Sox and Cubs continue to lose because they're cheap. It's that simple.
July 26, 201213 yr Carlos Lee will be traded, JJ might be traded, and Nolasco and Bell will be traded if we can find someone to take their contracts.
July 26, 201213 yr Loria and the Marlins are such cheap bastards. How dare they open the season with the 7th highest payroll/2nd highest payroll in the National League? f***ing front office never spends.
July 26, 201213 yr Another 2-3 years of watching young talent not live up to potential. or 2-3 years of established talent continuing to underperform?
July 26, 201213 yr They should've kept this team. They're so f***ing awesome. 8 games under .500 with the 3rd worst run differential in the National League. They definitely would've turned it around. f***ing cheap bastards. Should've given Hanley another 15 million next year. What's 15 million? They should be more patient, but they just had to be cheap. Why run out of patience? It's only been over 2 years. He's clearly still a superstar. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Fire sale!
July 26, 201213 yr We should stop being cheap and just spend more money. Spending more is always the answer because it's exciting. It shows that the front office cares! Until they spend it on the likes of Ricky Nolasco, Heath Bell, and John Buck. The front office sucks again! They can't wiiiiinnnnn!!
July 26, 201213 yr Funny how the marlins best season recently was the 87 wins in 2009 and we had like 20 blown saves that year. Coincidentally, that was Hanley's best season. That team was nowhere near as talented as this one. Funny how Andrew mccutchen is hitting .370 and with mediocre talent they are right up there.

July 26, 201213 yr ^You used to be cool. Am I really supposed to be excited about the next 3 years? Be whatever you feel like being but the negativity is ridiculous at this point. neither side of this argument is going to convince the other. We were lucky to get what we could get for what we gave up.......bottom line. If you feel you could have done better, the beauty with this great country that we live in is, get the right education, work your way into an organization, become a GM, and PROVE IT! Goddam I am so sick of the negative bitching on here. If you dont like what they did, go follow the Rays or Yankees. I don't care what you do but stop worshipping a guy that hasn't lived up to his end of the contract. he was dead weight!

It's even funnier how we were about 5 completely unacceptable, mind blowing losses away from making the playoffs that year.
July 26, 201213 yr No one is taking Bell, its not a secret that he sucks. The only way they can get rid of bell and buck is if they package everybody they want to get rid of with Stanton. i.e. Marlins trade away: Buck Bell Nolasco (Anyone making more than $1 mil) Stanton Marlins Get: Used jockstrap and F prospect. Its the only way theyll be able to rid themselves of these players and there salaries.

July 26, 201213 yr No one is taking Bell, its not a secret that he sucks. they are gonna try and add him to another guy like jj
July 26, 201213 yr If you feel you could have done better, the beauty with this great country that we live in is, get the right education, work your way into an organization, become a GM, and PROVE IT! heh always my favorite argument. TAKE THAT SQUALL

July 26, 201213 yr http://www.mlbtrader...s-thursday.html Looks like we're looking for a Mark Texiera package for JJ. I wonder if we throw in a few other pieces this can actually go down. Game On.

He's clearly still a superstar. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Fire sale! Hope these aren't directed at me. I've never said this was a fire sale. I never called them cheap. Ever. Not once. I know how to manage payroll. I get and agree with certain trades and moves. But there is nothing to be excited about for the next few seasons. Nothing? WE have several guys in the lineup under our control for a while who are very good in Stanton, Reyes, Bonifacio, Lomo, Buck(just kidding) which is a solid foundation if we can add 1-2 more pieces like a David Wright or Josh Hamilton, not to mention pitchers like Buehrle, Eovaldi, and JJ under contract with prospects like Fernandez, Turner, Yelich, Brantly, Realmuto, coming up to take spots. WE have a solid foundation
