February 8, 20197 yr But is this money for the new IFA signing period in June? The money we acquired for Mesa was for the 2018 season and not the 2019. Wouldn't the 75% cap reset for the 2019 period? The next new one doesn't start until July.
February 8, 20197 yr Summing up the Braves side of this... The Braves made it clear that, individually, each of their prospects was available. From a prospect perspective, the Braves had the capability to trump or at least match this package. But they were not willing to provide the controllable MLB-ready asset Miami gained in Alfaro. The Braves would have been willing to highlight a prospect package with Riley, but they were not willing to provide the collection of prospects the Marlins apparently sought. The Braves would have given the Marlins any one top prospect but not more than one and no one from the MLB roster.
February 8, 20197 yr ESPN with breaking news: apparently JT Realmuto isn't the first Marlins player to ever be traded away! Here are the details... http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25557502/jt-realmuto-trade-continues-stunningly-sad-marlins-tradition
February 8, 20197 yr This money is for the same period as the Mesa period. That one hasn't ended yet. @Rydawg I had the same thought but as Jack says here it’s the same period. The next years pool amounts haven’t been set yet. Although I don’t know why they wouldn’t be allowed to move those amounts yet. Other leagues allow you to trade future draft picks
February 8, 20197 yr So thrilled about this trade, and having to admit or face the reality, that Mike Hill saved his own skin in this deal...unless Jeter did do what I think would've gotten a trade done, and kicked Hill out of the negotiation room. Now, we can enjoy the full rebuild and see what we have and can get and develop moving forward. Go Marlins! Let's get number 3 (1997, 2003, ????) before any other expansion franchise!

That's the spirit, welcome aboard!!! It's funny how Sixto was a Phenom/Stud/Elite/Sensational prospect before he got traded to the marlins. Now he's a bum with no real talent, command and pitches. ????
February 8, 20197 yr It’s cute how some diehard fans who have bought into the rebuild (which I myself have done) are SHOCKED and constantly making reference to those fans on social media who have not bought into it and the things they say on Twitter etc. I’ll save you some shock (and some time): Nothing is going to change until the Marlins make the playoffs. Nothing. It’s been a decade and a half of incompetence. That doesn’t get washed away with trading two MVP’s (and quite possibly a third) to new teams and rebuilding a barren farm system. Winning makes all those old wounds heal. Not acquiring International FA money, not 20 year old flamethrowers who threw 50 innings last year. Winning. Winning heals. Stop thinking casual fans (and some diehards) and local and national media will suddenly embrace this team any day now. It will be a lot of days.

I don't think any of us expect the narrative to change until we win. But you have to bottom out before you can get there.
February 8, 20197 yr And as someone else stated you can only acquire additional money in 250k increments so this was the max amount they could have acquired. Figured as much. Looks like ol' Michael was right again.

Don't think I lose sleep over this stuff despite me posting about this quite a bit. If anything it's just poking fun and laughing at it. To be honest I understand the skepticism though some of the criticisms are so bad and uninformed that it's pretty much cheap comedy at this point.

Stop thinking casual fans (and some diehards) and local and national media will suddenly embrace this team any day now. It will be a lot of days. Yep. More like a whole lot of years. I think JT will absolutely mash in Phily and will replicate what Yelich did in Milwaukee. He'll be an MVP candidate. That's not to say the Marlins didn't get a decent return. For once they did OK. But there's an article just posted at ESPN that rips the Marlins another new one over their trade history. What's new, but of course its an article that's hard to disagree with. I certainly don't. Profoundly sad.
February 8, 20197 yr But hey @DTrain glad to hear you have bought into the rebuild! Your monthly newsletter and gift basket should be arriving shortly! Wanna sit next to me at the next fake fans meeting?

After signing the mesas how much money Int’l pool money is left ? I would think they’re targeting someone if they wanted that as part of the deal , but if were so far behind all those other teams what was the point.
