November 14, 201213 yr So I'm guessing I'm the only one who thought this trade was kind of a good thing.
November 14, 201213 yr So I'm guessing I'm the only one who thought this trade was kind of a good thing. I saw someone else say that but you're in the extreme minority.
November 14, 201213 yr Instead of writing emails to Samson, let's write emails to Mark Cuban to buy our team. please.

November 14, 201213 yr So I'm guessing I'm the only one who thought this trade was kind of a good thing. Short term, this is the worst thing for the team ever. Ever. Long term, this still sucks.
November 14, 201213 yr Its Time for Bud Selig To Force Jeffrey Loria out of MLB http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/13/its-time-for-bud-selig-to-force-jeffrey-loria-out-of-mlbJeffrey Loria has long been on the short list of MLB’s worst owners, but he’s truly outdone himself now by trading Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle, just one year after signing them to long-term deals, along withJosh Johnson, Emilio Bonifacio and John Buckto the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Of course, the topper is that the move comes one year after the Marlins opened a new publicly funded stadium in Miami. Loria amassed his fortune as an art dealer. Now he looks like a scam artist. Certainly the bait-and-switch has rarely been pulled off so artfully. The Marlins had a $95 million payroll in 2012 after signing a trio of big-name free agents in Reyes, Buehrle and Heath Bell last winter. Now all three are gone, with a combined 10 seasons left on their contracts. Also gone are the team’s two most expensive holdovers in Hanley Ramirez and Johnson. What’s left is a shell of a franchise, one that will almost certainly have the lowest payroll in baseball. More importantly, it will have no credibility in the eyes of its employees or fans. It’s lone remaining star, Giancarlo Stanton, has already expressed his anger. It’s hard to imagine him ever signing a long-term deal with the club, which could mean he’ll be the big name to go next winter. Loria has now entered two markets and all but wrecked baseball for both of them. It’s in the best interests of the game that he exit for good. Commissioner Bud Selig should step in and apply as much pressure as he legally can in order to get Loria to sell. Otherwise, Loria and the deal that allowed him to trade the Montreal Expos for the Marlins will go down as black marks on Selig’s legacy.
November 14, 201213 yr So I'm guessing I'm the only one who thought this trade was kind of a good thing. I saw someone else say that but you're in the extreme minority. Was it Loria and Samson? LOL I hope not.
November 14, 201213 yr I love all this likening to other players. That means there's no chance of them failing at all right......right What I got from those tweets was that 2 of the guys we got have the potential to be good. Not great, just good.
November 14, 201213 yr Nevermind how noncompetitive we'll be in the next 3 years, what FA will ever want to come here? Or better yet, what current player in our system would want to sign a long term deal here with our current owner? Loria is poison to our franchise today and in the future. That's a fact.

November 14, 201213 yr So who has season tix for next yr besides my father and I? I'd get them if I lived there.
November 14, 201213 yr Unbelieveable! Instead of moving J.J and someone else for Upton and then signing 1 or 2 SP and a centerfielder they go out and f*** everyone by lying! f*** THIS OWNERSHIP!
November 14, 201213 yr Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN From a pure baseball standpoint, the Marlins did well with this deal. But this trade has a lot more ripples beyond the makeup of the roster.
