Escobar Traded to Rays

Featured Replies

As long as he turns out to be a decent 2B down the line, then a good trade for us.

Good deal.

 

We get a future 2B and probably make the MarlinsfansnowRaysfans happy because their team is now slightly better next year. Everybody wins.

It's fine by me.

In his tenure here Escobar never did add much to the roster.

I look forward to whoever we trade Dietrch for.

What's our future lineup look like 1-2 years down the road?

 

1B - Morrison (assuming he performs/stays)

2B - Dietrich

SS - Hechevarria

3B - ????/Cox

C - Brantley/Realmuto

LF - Yelich/Ozuna+Platoon

CF - Marisnick/Ruggiano/Yelich/???

RF - Stanton (assuming he stays)

 

That seem accurate?

The payroll will be less then revenue sharing income.

 

 

The 5 mil will be spent and we will add a few more small pieces as well I am sure.

 

We're essentially looking at a 40 million dollar payroll then. That might be generous.

Realize that the only marlin right now thats making more than 1.75 million dollars is Ricky "4.48" Nolasco.

 

You mean Ricky "76" Nolasco. Because the winning is all that matters.

+ what we're paying other teams.

True, I forgot about that. Do we know if we're paying one lump sum or spreading it out over many years?

Yea payroll is literally going to be 39 million.

 

After they hired Redmond, they mentioned competition in spring, had a good feeling we might go back to the marlin way of trading good players and never signing anyone to more than a 1 year deal.

Yeah, I'm pretty okay with this. I really didn't want Escobar on this team, I don't care how starved for talent the team is.

Somebody asked what we owe on people no longer here.

 

Ozzie 7.5 mill -- 2.5/yr '13-'14-'15

ARI 8 mill -- 4/yr '13-'14

TOR 4 mill -- probably 1/yr '13-'14-'15-'16 (some seem to think there was more than 4 mill in cash involved)

 

Assuming the above, the totals would be 7.5 in '13, 7.5 in '14, 3.5 in '15 and 1 in '16, 19.5 total to dump the mistakes. Present value assuming 3% inflation would be about 1 mill less.

Dietrich is expected to play third base and shortstop at Class AA Jacksonville next year.
