pollythewog Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Gammons believes the Marlins can’t trade Giancarlo Stanton before his contract expires at the end of the 2016 season. “If they do, owner Jeffrey Loria’s credibility will take such a further hit that he may have to sell for the Marlins to ever be accepted,” Gammons writes. I’m not necessarily sure this would be the case — if Stanton makes it clear he won’t sign an extension with the club, Miami fans obviously wouldn’t be happy, but they’d understand that a trade would be a logical move for the Marlins to get a big return.

greenhat Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think I've heard "Loria's credibility will take such a further hit that he may have to sell" enough times to know that it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think I've heard "Loria's credibility will take such a further hit that he may have to sell" enough times to know that it means nothing. So has the line "Loria's credibility will take such a further hit than he may have to sell" taken such a further hit to it's credibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 If we can't sign him, we have to trade him. As much as it sucks to know that this is all the FO's fault, there is no way you let him play out his contract and walk. That would be an absolutely stupid baseball move. Uh oh...that means that's exactly what's going to happen, isn't it? The Miami Marlins: Making Stupid Baseball Moves Since Teal Was Cool and International Enough.

SilverBullet Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Well in the Marlins defense, they're probably way closer to credibility now than they've been in years, not including the false credibility we had just prior to the 2012 season when we thought we had a dream team. I'm just saying, if 2015 is another improvement and Stanton is still around, I'd say we''re pretty credible again. Enough people both in and out of baseball took notice of our 2014 for this to be the case . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undakai Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 ... to a backloaded contract. Well...at least it's something. I can expect him for a few years AND he'll still get us a good return when we do trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 $60m payroll guys. Give up the Panda thing or any real FA of value for that matter. They're not even going to get an actual mlb 2b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Dont know what the Marlins will or wont do. I dont, however, understand why so many people are clamoring to sign Pablo Sandoval and even more perplexed that some seem to seem willing to make it a "whatever the cost" type situation.

Michael Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think a 6 year deal around $15m AAV could get him. That's not too bad, get all his prime years in. If he wants anything more than $18m AAV then let him go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I understand the interest in Panda. He's exactly what we need. I do agree that it's not a situation where we should overpay, he does bring some risk, but at the right price it should be done. With that said, if they over pay for him, I'd be fine with that as long as they sign Stanton. I've come to learn that when this organization is willing to spend, we should just enjoy it and not analyze it too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I sometimes think that Sandoval's postseason performance(s) makes people forget or ignore that he tends to be nothing special in the regular season on a yearly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
