SilverBullet 2,705 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Awaiting someone to say that Giron and DePaula were sure bet prospects that we just traded away for nothing because Jeter is stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead 0 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Liked the reports I heard on Giron who is just 17 and looks to have solid tools. I will like VVM/VJR/Gastón more. Probably got around $750 K for that pair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead 0 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’m gonna guess 250 for De Paula and 500 for Giron. Exactly what I was thinking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gizmo 149 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Would suck if the Orioles end up signing them all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 2,705 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 So we submitted a number and then got more money anyway? It's possible but we don't know when this trade was actually consumated so it's also possible the Marlins got that money then submitted their offer then word of the trade got out afterwards.

SilverBullet 2,705 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I love the approach here. The Marlins already had the 2nd highest amount of money. They could have EASILY stayed at that amount and submitted their offers and just said that's it take it or leave it and called it a day. That's probably what Loria would have done and just shrugged it off and said "we tried." If anyone doesn't see the positives here and doesn't appreciate this approach more than the Loria days then I don't know what else to say. Too bad morale is at an all time low though.

SilverBullet 2,705 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 It's crazy that the Orioles don't even seem to be trying to acquire any more money themselves. It sure appears to me that they're not really that interested in these guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CWB3 1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The Marlins’ acquisition of $500K in international slot money puts them neck-and-neck with Orioles. Sources indicate both clubs have about $6.6 million in int’l pool money to spend on prospects. https://mobile.twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/status/1052254793312288769 $500K back.

CWB3 1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Before the three trades, the Marlins had the second-most international bonus pool money available at $4.3 million. Only the Orioles, with $6.7 million, have had more. But Tuesday's trade is believed to have pushed the Marlins' figure to above the Orioles'. https://amp.mlb.com/297927634-marlins-trade-pass-os-in-international-money.amp.html?__twitter_impression=true Frisaro has Miami ahead.

CWB3 1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Who to believe? I’m going with Joe. I thought I remember someone tweeting that the Orioles projected number was high and Miami had already passed them? I could be mistaken, or perhaps that tweet was incorrect as most seem to be sticking with 6.7 as the O’s number. That said, I doubt Frisaro posts the linked article without confirmation from Miami.

CWB3 1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 And Frisaro points to “no state income tax in Florida”. https://mobile.twitter.com/JoeFrisaro/status/1052255139715788805 And confirms that “the play is for three players, not one.” https://mobile.twitter.com/JoeFrisaro/status/1052278778070585344 Don’t know how to post Tweets.
