Just read that the Dodgers trade proposal for Stanton involved Adrian Gonzalez, Scott Kazmir, and Brandon McCarthy.

 

So yeah, the Marlins had no leverage in the Stanton trade.

 

If Mike Hill wasn't so hasty to trade Stanton The Dodgers might be in position to make a deal now

 

 

What I dont understand is Jeter and company got rid of literally almost everyone at the marlins other then the worst of them all  MIKE HILL

 

once again the Marlins not making any sense, surprise..

 

 

Dodgers eat how much G's money ?

 

Probably almost all of it but then the Marlins would have gotten all those contracts back and we'd have been screwed. 

 

 

One thing about the casual fan that drives me crazy is they think every Marlins trade is a fire sale. It's almost like they think it's wrong to make a single trade, as if other teams never do it.

 

I remember when they traded away Dan Haren at the 2015 deadline... a normal move for a team in that position with that player at that time etc etc and some people were like oh here they go again trading away all their good players like always. 

 

 

No more Marlins Man in the Marlins Park,yea you need to rebuild but you need to pay for it,too.

While it was stupid and really insulting, Jeter did get a pass when he said that he can get the Latin fans to come to games by playing more Latin music.  Imagine if he made similar comments about how to get other ethnic or racial groups to show up.  This would have ratcheted up the hate also, and it is unusual coming from someone who played his whole career in a diverse city.

 

 

After I wrote the above, I see it was similarly addressed in another thread today by exasperated.  Didn't mean to repeat.

So stupid. Let the man try what he has planned. Everyone now thinks they can shoot down someone's goals just because they don't like them. That's not the way the world works.

give me a fucking break with this bullshit.  he's not a marketing guy.  He was clearly saying that he's going to cater more to the local base at the stadium.

 

 

?  You got a break.  Disregard the whole country and how they react to statements.  Go back to sleep.

what in the fuck are you even saying?

 

 

Read this "go back to sleep" if you are unaware of statements that make people cringe along racial or ethnic lines when people make moronic comments.  Start reading more.  

 

 

Add @fish53 to the list of people who have a "strange obsession" with @fish20. You've got a friend,  [uSER=14703]@Bald Eagle[/uSER] and [uSER=860]@el penguino[/uSER].

cringe all you want, but he was clearly saying that he's going to make it a more latin friendly ballpark vibe.  But please by all means continue to try to find fake outrage wherever possible.

 

 

Add me to the list, too. This is fun to read.

Not that I think this is probable, but I kind of hope for reasons beyond the Marlins success that Alcantara, Neidert, Gallen, and some dude they got for trading Bour are all in the starting rotation April 2019 and look pretty good, Sierra looks like the next Pierre/Hamilton/Dyson kind of guy, they get another longterm position player trading Castro/Straily, they hit on something completely random like Cooper becoming pretty good, the totally crush the 2018 draft, Guzman becomes the "top 100 prospect" people are crying about, etc.

 

I just want to see the Jeter "fuck all the haters" press conference because that is going to be hilarious.

 

Give the dude 2018. Hell, give him until September before lobbing the bombs.

This.

 

 

I agree with fish20 on this one... some of you keep bringing up the Latin music thing as if it's Jeter's one and only idea to bring in more fans. Jeter isn't that stupid.

To be fair, this team has a history of fire sales. 

 

 

You're like the kid in school that is desperate to be part of a group, but nobody lets you in.

 

Yes, desperation is sceaming through my one to two posts a week.

this is all ive been saying for like 2 months now.  the franchise hasnt even played a damn game under this ownership and people need to be patient and let them do a rebuild that is the quickest way to turn the marlins into a consistent contender.
