November 14, 201213 yr Can we say we lost any chance of re-signing Giancarlo to a long-term contract. If so, would you gauge offers for him? No, we still control him for four more years, either way. But, if this continues, he'll be gone after, IDK, 2? Trading deadline 2014, maybe?
November 14, 201213 yr Also, I highly doubt the payroll is going to be like $10 million dollars after they trade Nolasco. They're going to sign some guys. Not big name free agents, but this isn't going to be the same, exact team on Opening Day; even if that's what Loria wants, MLB wouldn't allow that. Selig isn't going to do anything. He's the only one with the authority to do anything, but the owners pay his salary and he won't lift a finger. I mean, look at the Mets. Selig and the owners will let another owner do basically anything as long as you are friends with the important people. Otherwise Wilpon would have been forced out just like the McCourts.
November 14, 201213 yr this aaa team we putiing on field like we did few year ago i see phy beating us 14 to 4
November 14, 201213 yr I'm thinking they rush Yelich and maybe Fernandez. Fernandez maybe for April but Yelich I still think is mid 2013 at the earliest.
November 14, 201213 yr So lets see the Marlins are getting the Jays # 2 prospect Marisnick who's best feature is his defense and arm in the outfield, their # 5 prospect Nicolino lhp, who has good control and a changeup, their # 8 prospect Hechavarria again another defensive player and two guys not even in their top ten?!?! At least in the Cabrera deal they got the Tigers two best prospects, hell they did better in the Ani/Infante trade this summer.
November 14, 201213 yr I love it. They put themselves on the hook for 190 mill in FA last year. It failed miserably. Decks cleared -- start over. Nolasco next. With 50+ million available to spend on 2013 if they wish. The ultimate in flexibility.
November 14, 201213 yr Can we say we lost any chance of re-signing Giancarlo to a long-term contract. If so, would you gauge offers for him? Lifetime contract, infinity billion dollars Got to have fans come to the park to pay the players
November 14, 201213 yr I'm pissed they traded Reyes. The others, I understand. I think Boni would have been useful to the team though.
November 14, 201213 yr What if they aren't lying about the 80-85 million dollar payroll? That'd be pretty interesting..
November 14, 201213 yr Author They couldn't get Toronto's "elite" prospects because it would have required Miami to take on some more money. I'm only guessing.
November 14, 201213 yr Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo Source: Red Sox made a push for both Jose Reyes and Josh Johnson, but Jays just blew Marlins away. I wonder what the Sox offered.

November 14, 201213 yr Admin did Loria sign on agreement that pay roll was not going low end of mlb when agreement done for ballpark???
November 14, 201213 yr What if they aren't lying about the 80-85 million dollar payroll? That'd be pretty interesting.. Why would they trade long-term contracts and big salaries just to sign more long-term, high salary players?

But, if this continues, he'll be gone after, IDK, 2? Trading deadline 2014, maybe? If that's the case, he'll still be very valuable then. I'd say Stanton is currently the 2nd most valuable player in baseball right now behind Mike Trout. Hasn't even hit his prime either. He's going to be valuable, regardless. No need to trade him now.
November 14, 201213 yr Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick "They've lost all credibility,'' said one exec. "I don't know how they can even show their faces in South Florida now.'' #marlins

With 50+ million available to spend on 2013 if they wish. The ultimate in flexibility. If the payroll is still going to be in the 80-85 million range like some writers have said (which I seriously doubt at this point, trying to be optimistic here) they will have more like 70 million to spend. They just need to do it a bit more wisely than they did last season.

November 14, 201213 yr Joe Frisaro @JoeFrisaro Current count, 7 players heading to #Marlins Escobar, Hehavarria, Alvarez, Nicolino, Marisnick, DeSclafani, Mathis #BlueJays Thats a lot of Hispanic names......... *cough* and a few italians...
