This guy needs to be burned at the stake. I refuse to purchase a single ticket this year.

WE GOT sh*t IN EXCHANGE FOR CRAP.

VOMIT NOW.

They have to be planning on spending money on some free agents or something. I find it impossible to believe that this is it.

 

 

I think we're going to punt 2013 and then spend wild for 2014. We're clearing the books for 2014 basically.

 

He's going to create serious scars if he doesnt do much for this year. We wont sniff 60 wins with this team.

and henderson alvarez is a guy who throws 95 and literally strikes out nobody.

How's the 2014 free agency looking like, Admin? This year is horrible.

the two that bother me most are reyes and buehrle. in that order.

They're going to liquidate their assets put it into A1 steak sauce bottles and decorate their steaks with it.

also, knowing buehrle, he is going to be f***ing pissed about this, especially his wife. reyes too.

 

the marlins have completely destroyed their reputation.

also, knowing buehrle, he is going to be f***ing pissed about this,

 

 

Not so sure he wanted to stay after we fired Ozzie anyway.

well I know Nicolino is supposed to be really good, 'probably not ready 'til 2014 with Fernandez. Mathis stinks, no point there other than dumping Buck's salary. Figure Brantly gets the majority of starts anyway so whatever.

 

I figured JJ was probably going to be dealt at the trade deadline and I still think that would've been the best way. I liked Boni but he certainly doesn't make or break a team. Reyes hurts and I'm not sure how I feel about losing Buerhle yet.

 

It's not so much the moves individually that are bad here but as a whole it makes me want to go hide.

 

I don't even see one of their top 3 prospects here... Marisnick would presumably round out an outfield with Yelich and Stanton, but he's not a sure thing yet.

 

 

Nicolino is projected to be a middle-of-the-rotation guy. Not really good, just good.

 

Seriously, this haul is so underwhelming...

So the 2013 Blue Jays are the 2012 Marlins, and the 2013 Marlins are the 2006 Marlins. I think we won?

The damage this team has sustained far surpasses the actual acquisition or removal of talent.

 

This team will only recuperate with time, and if/when Loria is no longer associated with this team in any capacity.

 

Sad but true.

So they're going to make us wait until tomorrow... God, I hope someone has a change of heart or something.. This is bulls***.

 

 

I don't believe it puts us over the top nor does it even guarantee a playoff birth. We still need one or two players (LF is a major issue). Although, considering our best prospects are still available, more trades might be incoming for the Jays. We had alot of injuries past season (yes I know each club deals with this, to a certain extent) so that also plays a factor in our possible turn-around, next season. I'm not holding my breath though, or planning any parades.

i totally agree with this.

You just blew my mind.

Hopefully we flip escobar. Wtf

Hopefully we flip escobar. Wtf

 

 

I am hoping we do.

Jays should let Ozzie manage.

I am hoping we do.

 

no one wants him. i love how escobar headlines a trade for jose reyes, josh johnson, and mark buehrle.

yeah i'm a little confused here...

Jays should let Ozzie manage.

 

 

Wouldn't shock me.

The Marlins will likely be held up by future cities when teams are looking to get the most taxpayer money for a new stadium. Cities will want protections against ownership who could pull off a similar deal to what the Marlins executed on Tuesday.

The Marlins were ranked in the bottom three of Major League Baseball attendance from 2005-2011, it looks like the fan attendance could be heading in a similar direction next year based on early reaction across social media. http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/11/13/marlins-blow-up-team-with-blockbuster-trade/ it look like county may have say what marlins did tonight because their need make sure marlins can pay back county but only 25,000 or less going game their not able pay back

This was never about what we were getting back in return. It's a salary dump.
