December 4, 201312 yr So now that this happened, who's eating crow? Me, for one. With salt (no pun intended) and lots of ketchup please. Not even going to add in some pessimistic posts. Just going to take my lumps and have a wait and see attitude. I wanted to draft Salty and was upset when the Braves beat us to him. So can't say I am unhappy about this. Just very surprised.
December 4, 201312 yr Don't kid yourselves. The caveat of this whole deal that it is a backloaded contract. This doesn't give me one iota of confidence with this ownership. Stupidity like this doesn't help Public Relations one bit. Why? In essence, if we read between the lines, the deal breaks down into $6/$7/$8 million respectively. If we follow the pattern of the last couple of free agent signings, Salty won't be here to even smell that $8 million. At least we can pretty much guarantee that someone else will be footing the back end of that bill. Some things never change. It is so much easier to root for the Rays. C'mon people. This is the MARLINS we are talking about. Grab something to hold on to because within the next year to year and a half, the rug will once again be pulled out from under us.
December 4, 201312 yr ^ are u serious bro? Its backloaded by one million only, this isn't the same as what happened with Reyes and Buehrle.
December 4, 201312 yr Author A lot of teams have done contracts like that, it's a normal contract. You act like we gave Salty 3 mil in year one and double digits in year 3.
December 4, 201312 yr This isn't Carlos Delgado/Jose Reyes backloaded money. This is like a difference of 2 million dollars. I'd say there's a solid chance of him being here all 3 years. And even if he isn't that probably means Realmulto is ready to take the job.
December 4, 201312 yr Author Calling that a backloaded contract is akin to calling it a fire sale when we non-tender a guy like Ryan Webb.
December 4, 201312 yr Yes. I'm very serious. I want to root for the team. But I truly have no faith in it anymore. Call me Charlie Brown.
December 4, 201312 yr This is a nice signing, I'm definitely thinking him being from Palm Beach played a major role in him signing here. Hopefully he doesn't turn into John Buck 2.0.
December 4, 201312 yr Bryan Petersen �@Peteypipes 12h Interesting to see a guy win a World Series and then bounce... Guess it's not all about winning Bryan Petersen �@Peteypipes 13h There's a lotttttttt of bad deals being made Petey seems kinda dicky. .

Well then just be a Rays fan. In the end with all of the praise they get they have 0 World Series victories and we have 2!
December 4, 201312 yr This is a nice signing, I'm definitely thinking him being from Palm Beach played a major role in him signing here. Hopefully he doesn't turn into John Buck 2.0. Actually the Marlins have abandoned the Palm Beach fansbase. That's also why no one goes to the games. Why? Because the Palm Beach fan base used to sell out the games when they were in Sun Life Stadium? NOT!

Holy cow, this is some stupid shit. Haha! You think that is stupid. Here is an image of where that $2 million is going to go once Salty gets moved: The Jeffery Loria Art Gallery! Ah..... another piece of art for the collection. Come hither Marlins fans. All in all, a nice gesture towards the fans. I like Salty. But he's got a LONG way to go. For one, he's gotta eventually address the elephant in the room... aka Stanton.

Although, I do enjoy how nicely they have miraculously made David Sampson disappear from the face of the earth. I have been at peace since the Weasel has been snuffed out of the headlines. Namaste'.

December 4, 201312 yr The Tigers signed Jose Nathan and gave him $9 million in 2014 and $10 million in 2015. Those backloading assholes.
