rmc523 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 When they said yesterday the Marlins would be signing someone, I figured it was at least a "periphery" name - a low level free agent. This is way outside of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is way outside of that. I don't know if "they'll be signing someone" was referring to Noesi, I think that was just your usual whatever signing. They clearly plan to sign someone as Barry Jackson pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piazza31 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 There's too much money in that deal for him to opt out of, and the earning potential in NY is so astronomically high if he even sniffs another MVP season he'd have to be crazy to leave. WITH that said, I can see him being traded BACK to Miami if he doesn't perform the way the Yankees want him to and the Yankees paying part of the salary back in exchange for players. He liked Miami, he enjoyed the nightlife and the ability to go out every night if he wanted to. He enjoyed the views and the fact he was away in a horndogs paradise. He didn't want to leave the city, which is why he still owns his condo down here. He invested Millions he won't get back making that his home. He hated the clown show of an organization, he hated losing his friends, he hated how cheap it was and most of all he hated how disrespected he felt when he tried to talk to the new Ownership about their plans and begged them for one more year with the team together.

TaiwanMarlins Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/01/rosenthals-latest-santana-marlins-happ-gray-reds-perez-boras.html "Miami was in talks with the Mariners about the veteran first baseman before Seattle flipped Santana to the Indians as part of a three-team deal with the Rays. It’s been a quiet offseason for the Marlins as they continue their rebuild and weigh J.T. Realmuto trade offers, though since their past fire-sale moves have cleared a lot of future payroll space, there have been indications that the Fish could use this room to potentially to add future trade chips. The Marlins had interest in free agent D.J. LeMahieu, and Santana is owed $35MM over the next two seasons. Between the Marlins’ flexibility and Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto’s creativity in swinging deals, any number of scenarios could have been floated. The most obvious offer could have been a “buying a prospect” type of trade, where the Marlins absorb a big chunk of Santana’s salary if the Mariners added some minor leaguers along in the deal. If not a prospect, perhaps the M’s could have included a Major League player along with Santana in a package to Miami, potentially a needed reliever or a left-handed bat. Whatever was discussed, Seattle ended up preferring the return from the three-team deal (a Competitive Balance Round draft pick and $10MM in salary relief), though the Marlins are certainly emerging as a possible trade partner for teams trying to unload an ill-fitting contract."

Das Texan Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I mean if they can buy a prospect might as well. Just proves they have the payroll space to do things if they want to. Unlike what many want to believe or what ownership may have 'stated'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 or what ownership may have 'stated'. Ownership hasn't publicly stated they won't spend and they've shown their willingness to spend actually. They paid overslot in the draft and signed the top IFA. The comments about them being as cheap as the past regime just come from some fans and some of the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it remains to be seen if they start spending this off-season (haven't thus far) and especially next off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year, they have to do more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
