Elias for Ozuna would've stunk

Would've been terrible 

 

 

I feel like that Miley for Elias trade was basically a wash.

 

 

They spent money.  I doubt cheap-ass will throw enough at a good player to come here.  By the time he tries to spend, the good ones are gone and I hope he doesn't overspend on shit or get crap like Harang

 

But you said players don't want to come to Miami. If the Marlins pay them, they will come. That has been proven several times already. I think we as fans put more stock into front-office culture than players do. In all actuality, they really don't care that much.

that would mean Loria spends, big IF

Well, that's not the question here. The question is whether or not players would come to Miami, and they certainly would if offered the money.

 

And for what it's worth, Loria opened up his checkbook last year and prior to 2012. The idea that he doesn't spend at all is a myth. He may not do it consistently, but he does on occasion.

And how quickly does he knee-jerk and get rid of the players he opens up his wallet for?  Has he fielded a playoff team since he inherited the '03 team?  I'm done with him.  He needs to go.  I will not support this man and his dictator-esque cheapass bullshit.  There are plenty of potential owners that could field a much more competitive team.

You're debating different points than Valid is trying to get across to you. All he said was Loria has and will spend at times and that free agents not coming here because of Loria's past is a myth... and you keep bringing up people being traded away and other side stories.

 

 

So the FA class for pitchers is getting pretty light.

 

Some names remaining: Mike Leake, Wei-Yin Chen, Kenta Maeda, Ian Kennedy, Doug Fister, Jeremy Guthrie, Yovani Gallardo, Aaron Harang, Cliff Lee, Tim Lincecum, Kyle Lohse, Mat Latos, Scott Kazmir, Alfredo Simon, Justin Masterson

 

I thought they might make a play at Cueto but I guess not.

Would you really want them to offer what he got (or more)?

 

 

Hmmm, out of that list the names that stand out to me are Kenta Mathis, Mathis Leake, Scott Kazmathis, Mathis Latos, and Justin Mathison. I think we can make a realistic run at any of those.

 

 

Let me state it clearly, you will not see Mat Latos sign here

 

 

Serious question Admin, since Cueto has finally signed can u tell us if he was the SP who's agent we met with at the Winter meetings?

 

I feel certain it wasn't him but I thought he was one whos agent we might at least have checked in with.

 

 

It was Cueto and clearly it didn't go too far

 

 

Let me state it clearly, you will not see Mat Latos sign here

 

I said Mathis Latos, not Mat Latos. 

 

 

Wei-Yin Chen, Kenta Maeda, and Ian Kennedy, 

 

This would be my dream

 

 

It was Cueto and clearly it didn't go too far

 

Well good, glad they at least checked but at the same time, based on what he got, glad it didn't go far. Good job Mike Hill.

 

 

That Cueto deal is basically a 2 year deal unless he has an awful two seasons. He'll almost certainly opt-out after 2017 and go get paid more.

 

 

It was Cueto and clearly it didn't go too far

 

Awesome.

 

 

Wei Yen Chen apparently seeking a 5 year $100 million contract. Orioles say they're out at that price. How quickly before the Marlins say thanks but no thanks?

As quickly as we change managers

As they should. He's good, but not even close to THAT good. Dude had a 4.16 FIP last year and is already 30.

 

 

I have a hunch the fish will make a deal with Seattle, now that they were able to re-sign Iwakamura. Paxton would be interesting
