Is John Henry back really that big a step forward?

Admin you see my question about county and marlins?

 

 

I doubt that was in the agreement.

its funny how this trade was the last straw for many people. everyone is saying he should or is going to sell.

i thought loria wasnt allowed to sell for 7 years no?

He has to pay a penalty.

Well he's got a lot of money now!

The last time I got really upset about a Marlins trade, it was the Josh Willingham trade in 09. After that point, I just stopped getting mad about Marlins deals. I'm resigned to it. All I can say about it is that I'm disappointed.

 

It's not even the fact that we just traded five starters (including our starting pitcher, starting SS, and 2nd SP), it's not even that they didn't get one of the two Jays players/prospects in return (D'Arnaud or Lawrie), it's not even that they just decimated any chance of gaining a legitimate fan base in Miami.

 

It's that they lied to us. Plain out lied to us.

 

How every Marlin fan feels right now

the biggest issue here I think may be in getting FA to come here in the coming years. But then this is the Marlins after all.

I think Buehrle is going to suck in Toronto.

I think this nullifies any chance we have of getting any major free agents over the next five years, and could seriously jeopardize our chances of re-signing Stanton in four years.

 

At this point, I'd rather see Stanton enjoy the prime of his career in LA. He doesn't deserve to spend his prime on a team as poorly managed as us. Unless Loria sells the team, I don't know how I could ever feel happy seeing Loria lifting any kind of championship trophy. He's nothing but scum.

That's probably the worst thing out of all of this. Unless Loria sells the team, there's no credibility left here.

Don't forget folks tomorrow at 5 p.m on 790 the ticket David Samson weekly show is on Lebatard

unless they start handing out no-trade clauses like candy. or at least partial or something.... ugh.

Well, even if one guy gets a no-trade clause, he would still be worried that they'd dump the rest of the team, so it's even worse than it may seem.

Is there any way of hearing 790 online?

He has to pay a penalty.

" the city's agreement with the Marlins calls for Loria to pay a significant penalty if he sells the team in the next seven years. The penalty falls from 18 percent of the sale price this year to 5 percent if he sells in 2018. If Loria sold the team for $200 million in 2015, the penalty would be more than $25 million."

Escobar is actually older than Reyes! He's 30 years old! S**t! Talk about a downgrade.

I'm sorta in the minority here, not freaking out about the trade. I always felt the contracts we gave Reyes and Buehrle were awful and would prevent us from making other moves. I think we got one foot stuck in quicksand and instead of just sitting there and slowly getting sucked in for the next couple of years, we completely blew up the team and cleared space. Between Yelich, Fernandez, Turner, Eovaldi, Cishek, Stanton, along with the TOR players we got and some FA's, we could be a very good team in 2014-2015. Who the hell knows? (probably not but I'm hoping )

 

I'm much more upset about the way this all happened. How this franchise has been tarnished further, all the people that bought memorabilia or jerseys that won't be used, people that bought season tickets, all the schools and art programs that got shut down because the county gave the money to the stadium instead. This stadium created so many issues and debt and problems, and now this is what happens?

 

In terms of pure baseball, I'm actually kind of OK with this, I like young hungry players and building from the bottom instead of trying to buy a pennant. But, everything else... ruined. So bad... Awful really.

from Twitter:

MIA paid Reyes & Buehrle $16M COMBINED in 2012 and are now trading them for a boatload of prospects. It's brilliant, in a horribly evil way.

this is a really sad day for this franchise. do this once and you are forgiven but 3-4 times.

 

enough is enough. last offseason was too good to be true.

My f***ing Jose Reyes jersey...
