I had a Reyes T-Shirt in my cart today at Wal-Mart and I put it back. Then I found out about this.

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

 

 

Is there any way of hearing 790 online?

 

Yeah on their website.

Just thought about this: every player from the "Are you a marlin?" commercials has left the team. Guess they will use some of the money saved from these contracts to cast new players in next year's version.

 

"Gorkys Hernandez is a marlin. Are you a marlin?"

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.

 

What makes you think they're going to add payroll? They just dumped all of it. They're writing off the next 2-3 years at minimum. I'm also pretty sure they miscalculated on this deal, and ultimately it will be the beginning of the end of the Loria era. The outrage over this trade has been all across the baseball world today. It's not just Marlins fans.

 

As Keith Law correctly pointed out, this is basically just them going back to the old way of doing business. They'll pocket the revenue sharing/TV money and keep the payroll low to maximize profits. After this deal nobody's going to sign here, so I don't see that changing. There's no incentive for them to spend now. We gave them what they wanted (the stadium). Now they just make more money that goes into their pockets.

I'm loving the idea of Gorkys Hernandez starting in CF next season and Player X being our Opening Day Starter.

 

Is Mark Hendrickson available?

Well I mean, they have to sign SOMEONE. But I mean, I'm not making any predictions at all whether we roll out a team next year with a 25M or 50M payroll. I mean, if we trade Nolasco, fielding a team around 25M is a possibility.

 

I'm saying in terms of pure baseball, I'm ok with the trade. We have a few very good young pieces. Then we're getting these Jay prospects. The ones we got from the Tigers and Eovaldi. There's potential here. But there's no way to defend what Loria has done to the community.

We tore the Orange Bowl for this B.S we should of just stayed at Sun Life!

Can we all get together and write an e-mail to Loria and Samson about how they lied to us.

 

I'm pretty sure they know. I'm pretty sure that they were in on it all along.

I feel sorry for Stanton.

What I want to know is whether or not Redmond knew about this before he took the job.

Word is he did know the plan.

What just happened? Bad week not to have a tv.

Just found about this all this very minute. All I can say is LOL.

We should have all seen this coming when they brought out Pitbull for like 2 hours during the unveiling of the "new" Marlins.

 

Nothing good ever comes from Pitbull.

lol Loria gonna get Bourn, Grienke and Hamilton now! watch!

I wish I could become a fan of another team. But, its hard to do that when your been rooting for this shity team since you were a kid. There has to be someway to sue Loria?

if bud selig could do what he did to mccourt and he really cares about the state of each team, then he will have loria ousted immediately.

 

everyone in baseball will be happy about that.

I'm glad we got rid of Buck.

I don't mind that we got rid of Johnson. Great guy, but he had been going downhill for the past two years and had a huge contract.

Don't really mind that we traded Burhle. He ate up a lot of innings but a dominant pitcher he is not.

I think Boni is a fine player that could play several positions with a great attitude and speed. We should have keep him.

 

What really pissed me off is that they traded Reyes.

Trading Jose Reyes makes me think that the FO is not going to go get significant free agents now to fill the huge holes we have. Then

again, Reyes may have been the player Toronto demanded to get the deal done. If this is the case, I will reserve judgement on this trade until I see what they do the rest of the off season.

Selig has to do something, this is insane.

After the negative PR this is going to cause (especially after the Guillen firing) the Marlins should probably just go ahead and rebrand the team again and get new uniforms.

 

They even traded Bonifacio. LOL.

negative is not the word. the marlins will be thrashed like never before.

 

now you have tons of people and even people like ken rosenthal calling for loria to just leave already.

Bonifacio but not Nolasco. I don't think he will ever be traded.

Lol watch its going to be a repeat this year in the winter meetings. Hamilton and Grienke! lets go!

No one is going to sign here after this s***show.
