Michael Hill growing some balls? That's the most aggressive thing I've ever heard him say. 

 

 

Insert other media

 

The only way I'd accept that trade scenario is if it is Sanchez, Medina, a flyer on Sonny Gray, and some lower prospects, and the Yankees agree to take Chen and Castro's contracts along with JT. Pipe dream! I know.

 

 

Jeter and Hill have said that they're building a championship team. What's the problem with JT? Doesn't he believe them? Why would he not want to be a key player on a championship team? Seems to me he and his agent have decided they'd rather take their chances in the real world.

 

 

JT should be traded for talent only no salary shit

Yeah if they reduce the return to dump bad contracts, they are morons.

Or maybe JT realizes that the Marlins likely won't be a legitimate contender for another four or five years and doesn't want to waste his prime years on a rebuilding team? You do realize that building a championship team takes time, right?

He was being sarcastic. He doesn't believe Jeter and Hill are trying to build a championship team.

Oh I know. That's why I responded in that manner. It's not that JT doesn't believe the Marlins are trying to build a winner; it's that he knows it's going to take a while and doesn't want to sit around and wait.

 

 

Yeah if they reduce the return to dump bad contracts, they are morons.

 

And that would be really #FuckJeter.

I would ask to have my name changed to #FuckJeter if he does that.

Rest easy we have Michael Hill

"Agents can say whatever they want to say," Hill said. "J.T. knows how we feel about him, and it doesn't change the job that we have to do. My job is to build a sustainable, successful organization. Those comments don't impact how I go about my job, and what my job is -- to bring a championship to South Florida."

 

Hill on Friday would not reveal the conversations he's had with Realmuto or his representatives.

 

"We don't comment on those conversations," Hill said. "They stay between us and the player."

 

Hill did say that Berry's comments do not change Miami's offseason objectives.

 

"It doesn't impact in any way how we approach our offseason," Hill said. "J.T. knows how we feel about him, and we know that it's up to him if he accepts an extension or not. But the fact remains that we control him for the next two years. As we look to improve this team and this organization, that hasn't changed."

 

Still, the Marlins are expected to listen to any potential offers for Realmuto, or any Miami player. If a trade makes sense, it will at least be considered.

 

"We get a lot of interest in a number of our players," Hill said. "J.T. is obviously a very talented player. I would expect there would be interest in a number of our talented players. That's always the case. It's our job to go there with an open mind of how we improve this organization, and how we get better."

 

Hill said there is no time frame to resolve whether Realmuto stays or is dealt.

 

"He's under control for the next two years," Hill said. "The only question we need to address is what will his arbitration-eligible number be? He will be second-time eligible. Beyond that, our goal is to get this team better, and improve upon our 2018 season."

 

It's exactly the attitude I hope this team have toward the issue of Realmuto.

 

 

Rest easy we have Michael Hill 

 

u r wise

 

 

Its not that I don't believe that Jeter and Hill are "trying" to build a championship team, its that I believe they've made no (or negligible) process toward that goal, despite having the head start of being able to deal away prime assets that should have yielded multiple building blocks. They traded away the best outfield in baseball and completely botched the return. I see zero building blocks. I fear and suspect they'll also botch it in the return they get for JT.  No stars in the making, just a bunch of swing and miss prospects to stock the farm system. We'll see. Maybe VV is the start of something but they're going to have to stay aggressive in the international market and hit multiple HR's in the draft, much as the Astros and Cubs did. For this organization, that's a very tall order.

 

And Valid is right. I've been a fan since 93 but I'm not inclined to sit around and wait, year after year watching the roulette wheel spin. I'm not getting any younger. While I certainly didn't like Loria, the current management team so far doesn't inspire much confidence either. 

 

 

I hope the Marlins just stick it to JT and force him to play in Miami for 2 years now.

 

In this day and age a 30 year old free agent isnt nearly as desirable. 

 

I mean he is trying to force a trade obviously, but the smart move financially would have been to sign a 5-6 year deal last winter.

And then the Marlins screw themselves in the process.

 

If they know he isn't going to be here long term, he needs to go. Sticking it to someone is not how you run a front office.

It's been one year. ONE. YEAR.

 

 

The people still around here were diehard fans and willing to believe in this front office.

It would have made a lot of sense for him to sign an extension last year but the team was pretty much using the off season to rid themselves of contracts. JT wasn’t exactly happy about people getting traded. I’m assuming the Yelich trade was the icing on the cake. 

 

Ill give him credit though since he came ready to play once Spring Training began. 

 

I hope the team gets this fully addressed before the Winter meetings. Whether they extend him or plan on shopping him there.

Why does he get credit for doing his job and a job that can earn him tons of money based on the quality of that performance?

 

 

Joe was under siege by the Yankee fans after he tweets the Sanchez+prospects for JT proposal, and I believe he blocked many of them, LOL.

 

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if we trade Realmuto for top end prospects and then go out and sign Grandal to a 3-4 year deal. This makes so much sense.

It makes zero sense.  Grandal was issued a QO, meaning we'd lose a draft pick to sign him.

I saw that after posting. You’re right, makes zero sense.

 

 

Wait until JT sees the new logo. He'll obviously change his mind then.
