November 17, 201213 yr What utter pieces of sh*t. This team is dead to me unless those f***heads get out
November 17, 201213 yr Ken Rosenthal �@Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #Marlins’ broken promises included verbal no-trade pledges to Reyes, Buehrle. Story: http://msn.foxsports...promises-111612 Buehrle knew the Marlins’ history of dumping high-priced players, and it concerned him, according to a friend. Team president David Samson, however, told both Buehrle and his wife, Jamie, that the team was committed to a long-term vision, sources said. The Buehrles have two children — a son, Braden, 5, and a daughter, Brooklyn, 3. They also own a 2-year-old pit bull, Slater. The province of Ontario, where Toronto is located, bans pit bulls. Jamie, sources said, was emotional in a conversation that she had with Samson after learning of the trade Tuesday. Samson had initiated contact with the Buehrles to inform them that a deal was imminent. I want this man piece of sh*t away from this organization as soon as possible.
November 17, 201213 yr "the Marlins tend to be cheap but when it comes to re-signing their top players they've done so e.g Hanley, Ricky, JJ." nice to see you've forgot about Miguel Cabrera. and heads up, but Hanley and JJ are gone. he doesn't want to be a Marlin. no one wants to be a Marlin. and at this point in his career he has full control over his destiny as a player. Oh, is that what club-controlled means? it was implied that I meant after these next couple of years, assface You said "at this point in his career." You're mean.
November 17, 201213 yr Samson's vision is restricted by his diminutive nature so you have to take it with a grain of salt when he tells you they have a vision.
November 17, 201213 yr Can the league say "no"? Can they null the trade? and force out ownership? does anyone have the legal background to figure this out?
November 17, 201213 yr I'm going to wonder if they firesale this team next year when they win about 60 games.

As an owner of a pitbull, I hope my dog runs into Samson one day. My pitbull is small compared to others, but I bet it will still rip Samson apart.
November 17, 201213 yr league has the power to nullify the trade and has forced out owners in the past, but don't believe for a second they will nullify this trade, or force out Loria...this was a bad team last year so it does not make the Marlins less competitive, and Selig originally gave the Marlins to Loria. That relationship is as strong as ever!
November 17, 201213 yr I think Stanton stays and signs a long-term extension. Something like 6 years around 90 mill. hahahaha surely you can't be serious Dead serious. He's angry at the moment and rightfully so. But you're kidding yourself if you think Stanton doesn't want to get paid and rejects said offer. Remember yes the Marlins tend to be cheap but when it comes to re-signing their top players they've done so e.g Hanley, Ricky, JJ. Give it some time and he'll be alright emotion wise. agreed...This team will develop, Stanton will develop new ties and a huge payday will make all the difference in due time
November 17, 201213 yr Yeah this pretty much puts the nail on the coffin that no big FA are going to sign here unless they are blown away or just stupid.
November 17, 201213 yr Why am I not f***ing surprised. I always thought I would love the marlins no matter what. And I do. But I can no longer accept this ownership.
November 17, 201213 yr How about sneaking into the games without paying and having signs that head "For Buehrle's Dog!" and "f*** Samson!"??
November 17, 201213 yr i think it's time to organize a massive sit together and wear bags on heads game appearance. the budweiser bar, if we could fill all of it with bags on heads, that would definitely make sportscenter.
November 17, 201213 yr Realistically- since the trade involves more ten 1 million in cash the commissioner can veto it. Will he is another story. If they can prove they pledged to not trade them, then sh*t gets muddier. I'm not sure but is a verbal contract or agreement binding in the state of Florida?
November 17, 201213 yr I wonder if Loria will attempt to sign a big FA to save face. ZERO free agents will sign in Miami for over two years. Guaranteed. Both out of the FOs unwillingness to do so, and the players ZERO interest in doing so without a formal NMC (which the FO wont give). Three guys signed fat long term deals. Three guys are gone. That doesn't bode well.
November 17, 201213 yr i think it's time to organize a massive sit together and wear bags on heads game appearance. the budweiser bar, if we could fill all of it with bags on heads, that would definitely make sportscenter. Do something cooler, like have a massive group of people show up in the jerseys of former Marlins on the teams they were traded to (D. Lee Cubs, Hammer Nats, JJ Blue Jays, etc.). And it should be EVERYONE that we've traded, as a nod of respect to every player that's ever had to deal with this POS ownership.The point being - "we actually care about these players and the way you do business kinda bums us out." Pick some random section of the stadium to sit in and turn your back to the field during the game, so all you see is the player names.
November 17, 201213 yr But then we wouldn't be able to see the game! I like the idea of former players though
November 17, 201213 yr Ok just in between innings, or maybe don't turn your back at all. But you get the point.

It's going to cost everyone about 100 dollars to make those jerseys. The bag thing is more reasonable.

Not saying it would be easy but that would be awesome to see. The bag over head thing is more of a slap in the face to the team on the field IMO.

Jesus F***king Christ I never really cared for Samson before this. He's always talked like he's so cool and important and we (the fans) are just dumb and know nothing about baseball. He is the epitome of Napolean complex. Making up for being so tiny all of his life by being the big man, so powerful and knowledgeable. Now with this story my feelings are compounded to the point where he just makes me sick. He's lying to the faces of families for his own gain. He's talking to us fans like we are idiots and we should let them do what they want because they're the "baseball people". I don't blame them for wanting to make changes to try to better the team, if that really is their motivation, but I think they could go about it in a better manner. Maybe if they packaged Nolasco and Boni, they could have gotten a decent return. Then maybe try to move JJ on his own. They may not have gotten the bulk of players and prospects that they did but we the fans probably wouldn't be so upset about it. And they wouldn't have broken those promises to people that believed them. I'm rambling but I'm just disgusted by Samson. Oh, and I think Beinfest is a bumbling idiot when it comes to being a MLB GM. That is all. .
