The Rangers are really the only one that intrigues me.

On a side note, the dodgers TV deal is rumored to be around $7B over 25 years (i'm sure they'll be a scale, but a cool $280M a year on average) ...... not sure why I'd be compelled to post that in a thread about the future possibility of the Marlins retaining Stanton unless it just helps reinforce that if he hits the open market he'll most likely be heading home

Per Bleacher Report: 5 Stanton Trade Scenarios the Marlins Couldn't Pass Up

Even that one seems silly. It could be as listen as Stanton for Ogando and Kinsler, which is just beyond absurdly ridiculously awful.

 

At the least the Royals one seems to start with 2 talented players in Myers and Alex Gordon. But the Marlins don't want arbitration-eligible guys like Gordon, so that doesn't work.

We're totally signing Mark Reynolds this offseason.

Isn't Escobar going to be our starting 3rd baseman?

 

Also, I find it annoying how they want to build around Stanton yet they haven't locked him up yet.

Sounds good.Maybe Swisher?.Kelly Johnson?.Delmon Young?.

They'll probably trade Escobar. It's been rumored since they acquired him. Personally, I hope he stays.

The line I saw that has all my focus is when Beinfest mentioned that this has "been tough on Jeffrey". So the fan hatred does affect him. Maybe there's hope that he will sell the team, because somehow I don't see the fan response getting any better going forward from here. In fact I see it only getting worse.

christ not Reynolds. they could chuck that "pitching and defense" slogan...

You aren't going to ever acquire a better play than Stanton in a trade. There's no reason to trade him at the moment.

Trade him for a team.

Therefore, we'd have Stanton and we can mix and match our team.

Likewise. I'm fine with Escobar at 3rd.

I'm better with telling Escobar to play somewhere else.

Reynolds is a defensive highlight machine ........ sure, he's an absolutely horrible defender and can blow routine plays with a pretty frequent basis - but he'll make some spectacular plays as well

 

Out here we'd watch the d'backs games and would see how brutal he was .... then we'd watch a highlight show going through plays of the month and it seemed like 25% of all the plays were his

 

He's an entertaining kind of bad ...... his defense is like his offense ......

Escobar is a good ballplayer. He is not an All Star, but he should be able to play a good third base and hit enough. He also happens to be affordable, at least by most other teams standards. If you want to trade him and get some prospects in return that would be a different matter. Although I'm not sure how much trade value he actually has, so we might just be better off keeping him anyway. We also don't have any top prospects (Zack Cox is far from a sure shot) in the minors at third base. Also if Echevarria flops he can play short stop for us. He is a very valuable asset for us with his flexability and affordability.

 

Now, if you don't like him or want him here because he made some kind of "gay slur", then I only have one thing to say about that. Who cares? It does't matter what his opinons are. As a Cuban I didn't appreciate Ozzie's comments about Castro, but at the end of the day I am a marlins fan and I wish for them to succeed no matter who the manger is. Ozzie has a right to his opinon whether others like it or not. So does Escobar. I'm not saying that's your issue with him because I am not sure. But I have seen him take some slack on these boards and in other places because of that stupid "gay joke". At the end of the day if he can play third base and help us win, he should be on our team.

I agree.I hope we keep Escobar this season.

Escobar should be kept just in hopes that he has a good start to the season and will get more trade value. Plus, we have sh*t for 3b options.

Escobar is a mediocre ball players. Not good, mediocre. Of course I want to trade him for prospects. What else? You don't honestly think we are going to compete this year, do you?

 

But yes, I also don't want him here because of 'some kind of "gay slur"'. Who cares? I care, actually. Use some logic there. If you assumed I didn't want him here because of some kind of "gay slur", that means I care. So why ask who cares? Silly question. Ozzie has a right to an opinion. "You're a f*****" is not an opinion. Furthermore, the right to an opinion does not stop one from being judged for such opinions.

 

He isn't going to help us win. This team blows. If he were a scumbag but a good player that would help us contend, absolutely you keep him. Otherwise? What the f*** is the point?

Didn't want to start a new thread but According to Capozzi Carl Pavano wants to be a Marlin in 2013. Check his twitter for the story

"You're a f*****" is not an opinion. Furthermore, the right to an opinion does not stop one from being judged for such opinions.
