We traded one of the most likable players in baseball (Reyes) for one of the most obnoxious (Escobar). Great.

Ok, after some time to sleep and digest this move. I'm glad we made this deal. :panic

Totally bullsXXt.

Even I will not blame him, if he said it caused by financial situation.

 

You're unacceptable, Loria.

The Red Sox made a push for Josh Johnson and Jose Reyes, but the Blue Jays just blew the Marlins away, a source tells Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe

 

If the jays blew the fish away, I wonder how utterly terrible the sox offer was

Middlebrooks, Doubront, Bogaerts + had to be in Boston deal

Of everyone we just dumped, it is Reyes that is notable. Buck was not part of this franchise's future, he wasn't even part of the present. Burhle was overpaid and Johnson is in his last year. If 2013 looked like a non-compete year, then Johnson should have been moved.

 

But Reyes is 29 and likely to be productive for several more years. He was healthy the whole year and produced at his career average. He could have been part of a winning team for several years. AFAIC, we traded Reyes and Bonifacio for seven guys.

 

What I do not like about this is that I think it demonstrates that the ownership really just wants to cash in.

Also of note is Stanton took down his picture of him in a fish jersey for the current one which is just him in a black shirt.

Loria explains deal. :We have to get better ... We have to take a new course.''

 

Which puts it the same terms that I have, on many threads. I have no doubt that he'll have more to say along the same lines.

 

Boils down to this. If what you are doing isn't working, stop doing it. Admit that you were wrong. Reevaluate. Do something else, which will hopefully be better.

 

That so many people have a problem with this is inexplicable.

 

What he's been doing is exactly what he just did, and it's kept the team out of the playoffs for 9 years.

I too am going to miss Reyes the most. I mean we still had five years of him left and even if we got rid of everyone but him and Stanton, Reyes is the kind of veteran player to bring energy and leadership to all the young guys we might be starting the next couple years. Assuming he could have stayed healthy he still was a great hitter/baserunner. Such a bummer.

My biggest issue with this deal is, if you continue to tell us how much of a collassal failure the last offseason was and traded away pretty much every major piece Beinfest and the front office acquired in recent years didnt work out, how in the world do they still have jobs?

 

It is a complete hypocrisy to tell the fans that we need to change different results but continue to employ the same front office that has not done anything to achieve a postseason berth in 10 bleeping years.

 

Don't insult my intelligence and say we are doing this because we want to win, yet continue to have the same collassal failure of a front office pick the players.

I'm going to do something I never thought I'd do...sue the Marlins and Miami-Dade County. I don't care if i lose in the end, but if it helps to increase the pressure on Loria to sell, or the MLB to force him to sell, it would have all been worth it.

Of course you are.

Class action that sh*t

It's simple arithmetic. We got 4 guys for 5 guys AND we had to pay them.

Been that way since may

Everyone I talk to is pissed off with this. Watch the size of the crowd on opening day. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a sea of blue seats.

Ah okay. Someone was reporting that he changed it...

Fwiw on 790/104.3 Zaslow and Hoch were on talking about this whole mess. Hoch said that when Samson was on with Dan previous times that there are no penalties if they sell the team. They can do it when ever they want.

Must be a different one, I know he wore a sleeveless black tank before

they've got to go out and at least get a few midlevel free agents to put some salve on the wound, I'm really praying that they've got something in mind.

 

If they go out on opening day with Turner/Eovaldi/Hernandez/LeBlanc/Hand as the rotation it will be a joke.

if they trade nolasco, the payroll will be so tiny they would need to spend like 45-50 million just to put them last in payroll.

Lol, found this on twitter
