November 14, 201213 yr 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. When was the last time a mlb payroll has been sub $25m? Edit: Found it. the 2008 marlins had $21m.

November 14, 201213 yr Joe Capozzi �@joecapMARLINS Several GMs expect #Marlins to trade Ricky Nolasco. Marlins also shopping Logan Morrison Soon they're going to start shopping the jays guys we just got. $5m for escobar is a bit pricey.
November 14, 201213 yr How could you possibly shop Logan Morrison? Has this front office not taken an economics class ever? How many guys would that be in a row that we have sold low on if we trade him. Let him get healthy and produce before you trade him for nothing. Nolasco can go for nothing for all i care though. Im so over him. Bell, Hanley, JJ, Gaby, Infante, you can argue Buehrle's value is lower this year than last, Volstad obviously was at an all time low. Im not saying all of these guys underperforming could have been seen, but Beinfest needs to go.

I mean I don't know how much difference it'll make in wins if say they went out & got Haren, Youk, and Victorino or whatever, but if they don't do anything that ballpark will be completely empty.

November 14, 201213 yr Author They'll probably add Logan as a package deal with Ricky. Colorado last year were seriously interested in Nolasco.
November 14, 201213 yr They'll probably add Logan as a package deal with Ricky. Colorado last year were seriously interested in Nolasco. That would be ridiculous if the only reason to get rid of Lomo is only to package him with Nolasco. You need to get value back if you trade him.
November 14, 201213 yr 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. Oh snap! Do it! You'll be on ESPN for the very least. lol
November 14, 201213 yr Lomo? That doesn't make sense. It does if they want to bring back fat ass Lee for a million.
November 14, 201213 yr the marlins signed an agreement to spend all of their revenue sharing money on salary. if im not mistaken, that is about 60-70 million dollars. id love to see how they make that gap up or if they league just lets it go and allows a 25 million dollar payroll.

Do you have proof of that?

They didn't sign sh*t. Capozzi wrote that the marlins "reached an agreement" (signed or not) promising to use the revenue sharing money on player salaries.

November 14, 201213 yr They'll probably add Logan as a package deal with Ricky. Colorado last year were seriously interested in Nolasco. Ricky would allow 100 home runs a year pitching in Colorado. 10 or 12 to Stanton alone. This would please me.
November 14, 201213 yr 10 mil administration raise.... Loria to himself? WTFO%)&(%^)($^I$#)^#$)^%#$(^$!!!!!!
November 14, 201213 yr 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. Maybe he should take that same policy to evaluate Beinfest, Hill, and the scouting and drafting this team has done recently. Should've dumped Nolasco in that deal.
November 14, 201213 yr Shopping Logan makes perfect sense. So does Giancarlo. This team is going to f***ing blow this year and next year and the year following. You might as well get the MLB's top prospects that are due in three years time. Not like Lomo or Giancarlo will be here in three years time...
November 14, 201213 yr shopping LoMo makes perfect sense because he stinks but is highly regarded for some reason. him and Nolasco are the only two players I wanted to see go this offseason.
November 14, 201213 yr Author Buster Olney �@Buster_ESPN Rival execs believe that Logan Morrison will be in a much better position for success once he returns to 1B, his primary position in minors.

I believe that MLB will demand the Marlins spend at least 60M. They did in the past. I don't have a problem with all this trading as long as they go get two star veteran players, one starter (Sanchez ?) and a hitter with power (Hamilton ?). If they trade Nolasco, two starters. That is going to cost a little something. The only time they've spent $60MM was last year, not even in 2011.
