Can he be any more worthless?

 

 

 

One of the worst signings in franchise history, if not the worst based on the amount of money he's made and is still owed.

 

I think it's the worst. 

 

 

Is there an insurance policy on this guy? If so, does putting off the surgery keep the marlins from being able to cash in on the policy?

 

 

Why doesn't he just get surgery? Seems like the perfect time for it.

 

exactly.  there are still 3 years left on this fucking deal somehow.  just get the surgery and maybe be not completely worthless the remainng time he's stealing money from the organization.

 

 

He will be on the roster in 2020 and possibly even 2021. Why not repair that fucking arm in case he actually becomes useful in the future if Jeter's rebuild kind of works? I don't get why they keep putting it off.

 

He will be in his mid 30s at that point though. But I don't see how the current course of action is salvaging some value from that insane contract.

 

theres gotta be some thing the team can do if he continues to unsuccessfully put off the surgery.  1 year was one thing, but we're going on the 3rd year of this bullshit on a ridiculous contract.

 

 

Check out his Instagram account and you'll see how much more worthless he can be. 

 

 

Didn't they say last week that he was 100% cleared and healthy? Unbelievable what a joke this guy is. I'd have rathered him be healthy and stink it up then this garbage of never even being able to play. 

 

 

This fucking guy needs to be indicted for stealing money from the Marlins. 

 

I would love to ask his agent why he didn’t go for surgery the day after he went on the DL in 2017. 

 

 

Sure sounds like a valued teammate.  "hey guys, I get my money if I pitch or if I just sit around for 3 more years".

his agent is Scott Boras it's all about the dollars for him. Once the contract is signed he won't give a shit.

 

 

I thought he did have surgery after he went down to the DL the second time. Or is that from an alternative universe?

 

 

Anytime Scott Boras complains about why teams are so hesitant to spend money on free agents nowadays he should be reminded of his own client in Chen. A perfect example of what teams are scared of paying for. 

 

 

You people are no fun

 

 

I wish he went to 60 days DL stint forever. What a waste for a one spot of 40-man roster. DAMN

 

 

I know Chen is the extreme example, but each time I hear someone mention the idea that the Marlins should have just signed a couple starters instead of going through the building process my mind immediately goes to Chen.  The Marlins were never, under any circumstances, going to be a potential landing spot for someone like Darvish or even Arrieta (not saying I’d even want him).  The type of player that would even be an option is a player like Chen, who if you remember at the time he was signed, fit the description of what the complainers are currently calling for (“Hey lets sign some pitchers and make a run!”).  Seriously, no thank you. 

 

As infuriating as this whole thing may seem, I have a hard time caring about Chen specifically.  Whether he pitches now or not, he’s worthless to the Marlins.  In a best case scenario (like a miracle happened and he had a career year in 2018) I can’t see any other team giving up any asset of any value for him considering his contract and injury history. 

 

 

So it's spring 2018 and the Marlins are still wei-yin for this guy to be healthy?

If teams were more and more hesitant to spend money on the free agents then all the PROSPECTS would lost the goal to work hard for,and it would be the ENDING of this industry…

 

 

Right, no one will want to play a game for a living because they can all go out and get a job for real world wages.

 

 

This guy is so beyond selfish its nuts. I get that after he got hurt in 2016 that he may have been advised against surgery but once he came back after all that time and then went down with the same issue again, it amazes me that he spent another 6 months trying non-invasive procedures that we know won't work. 

 

He could have been 6-7 months into Tommy John rehab and finally on track to be fully healthy over the last 2.5 years of his deal. What a fucking prick.
