August 1, 201610 yr But we have also seen Loria open his wallet and spend a bunch of money recklessly. Granted, that was off season acquisitions, but it has happened in the past.
August 1, 201610 yr I've said this before but it actually wouldn't be out of character for Loria to spend money in this situation. He doesn't do it often but when he's seen the need for it Loria does open up his pockets. We'll find out tomorrow how serious he really is about this playoff push. From the picture posted of his reaction to Rea's injury, it appears he does care. And I guess I feel somewhat similar in that something was done (even it was a lateral deal) and after the effort, the team is in the same position. That is, another injury causing another hole in the line up. So it doesn't matter if it was a #2, #4, or #5, it's still a hole. And with the trade it weakens the farm system although not certain the Marlins had any choice if they want to make a run.
August 1, 201610 yr That was his reaction to wife's comment she wants Dietrich's body. Full of muscle.
August 1, 201610 yr Did you really think the Marlins would make another trade? With what exactly? The prospect cupboard is bare. It's not likely but there's still time. 5% chance Loria spends money.
August 1, 201610 yr It's not likely but there's still time. 5% chance Loria spends money. This statement implies that they haven't been working on other stuff this entire time. I think you might be wrong but we shall see. Loria has always at least attempted to better the team at the deadline and I can't imagine he wouldn't this time as well. As much shit as people give him he goes for it when the team deserves it.

I think that picture shows he is angry have to spend the money he think doesn't need to spend after we acquired Cashner and Rea.

Agreed. However, with TV deals and revenue sharing as it is, money does not seem to be what teams want.

August 1, 201610 yr Any word on Rea's MRI? I've been searching, but haven't found anything. I don't know anything so can't say.
August 1, 201610 yr I saw that on the trade deadline thread, and I have never heard of this before. Obviously very bad news on MRI which makes sense since he went on the dl IMMEDIATELY. Kind of expecting it after that move. Although we no longer have him, it doesn't fill the hole we were trying to fill.
August 1, 201610 yr Glenn Geffner ✔ @GlennGeffner No pitcher in #Marlins history worked more career innings for the club (3 1/3) without allowing a run HA HA HA Very, very funny.
