Id have the best product on the field before the miami all star game, but hey, not my money.

 

So spend next offseason?

 

 

I never thought for a moment the Marlins would go after any free agent pitcher of consequence. Unfortunately, I also don't see any free agent with meaningful choices taking Loria's money. So get ready for whatever dregs are left.

If he offered the most, they'd take it unless its a case of wanting to pitch near home like Shields. But odds of that are obviously low.

Nope that's why I said MIAMI all star game. Build a solid team now and try to be highly competitive by 2017....the year of our all star game 

 

 

Loria is probably going to want to do 2012 type stuff to make a splash for the ASG. Problem is next years class doesnt look half as good right now.

I can see him going after Gio

 

 

Spending a lot of money just because Miami hosts the ASG in 2017 might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. It's even dumber than firing Tommy Hutton and replacing him with Preston Wilson.

Is that a scoop?

Glad I made your day. In the words of sharknado 3: "oh hell no"!

Yes. It's going to happen, because Marlins.

I can honestly say I have never seen anyone reference sharknado before

 

 

Admin isn't allowed to spill the beans yet, but he knows that bow ties are about to replace sweater vests.

and Strasburg.

 

 

and Strasburg.

 

Gio more likely due to Hialeah connection and interest in him previously

And bumbling crap is about to replace rants

 

 

frisaro just mentioned the marlins would only trade Ozuna "for a starter or high-end reliever." If they actually traded Ozuna for just a RP, I don't care which one.... 

 

get ready...

Michael Hill doesn't think you get it

 

 

I was reading that Atlanta wanted an outfield bat and a ML ready starting pitcher for Shelby Miller. What about one of Conley/Koehler in addition to Ozuna? does that get it done. If so, is Shelby Miller worth Ozuna?

I don't think so if ozuna can make an impact every day. Miller only 35 times per year. Marlins are better off signing pitchers.

NO STOREN OR PAPELBON!!!!!!!!!

I like your optimism on this but I think you're kidding yourself.  A week or more after the pool of decent SP dries up, you'll read Scoop write about the Marlins closing in on a deal with Harang.

I said if Loria offers the most money, a FA would take it and that I doubt he will.  How am I kidding myself on anything?

Because even if Loria offers the most money, which is a dubious proposition to begin with, it would have to be at least 15% more than the next highest offer, to even try to convince anyone to play for him and that's not going to happen. The bad vibes from the Ozuna controversy and the rumors about an unhappy Fernandez will likely act as a negative influence as well.

This is unequivocally wrong but is a common misconception among the fans. It is a moot point though anyway because as we both said, its unlikely that Loria makes the highest offer.

 

 

Fuck Loria
