If u want the big contract then say u want free agency but if u really actually wanna be a Marlin you're gonna have to accept a lesser offer. I'm thinking he (or more likely, his agent) said it to coax out an offer from the Marlins - otherwise I don't think the Marlins were even thinking about doing it. It works to his benefit. He gets an extra offer and kind of sees where they're at (to make it a starting point as far as potential deals), then basically lets media and the fans view it as "cheap Marlins again" and that it just didn't work out (after all, he said he wanted to stay here - totally genuine and definitely not a strategy), then tests the FA market and gets any other team with bigger pockets to offer that 1 more year.
July 27, 20215 yr I'm interested to see if the Marlins leave the offer out there for him in the offseason, or if they just say "no, you didn't accept, bye", which I think is dumb. It's entirely possible other teams' offers wind up in that range and at that point if he did truly want to stay in Miami, maybe he'd be willing to accept our offer then? (i.e. Team X offers the same 3/30, if he wants to stay with the Marlins, that could sway him back to Miami) Obviously they can't leave it out there all offseason if they (hopefully) want to make other signings, but I think they can have it out there in case his market doesn't materialize like he hopes.

That would be the smart move. Not so sure this FO does this, though.

July 28, 20215 yr According to Craig Mish, we’re willing to extend Jesus Aguilar. That’s kind of weird considering they haven’t been willing to dish out extra money for Marte, who plays a position of actual need. Aguilar must be willing to accept a super team-friendly deal? That strategy wouldn’t make much sense otherwise, and I have nothing against Jesus Aguilar who has been mostly consistent here. But it doesn’t make sense. Edited July 28, 20215 yr by Erick

Cooper could be in play and/or they're banking on the DH next season too. Also, sounds like he's willing to sign cheap. Sooooo big plus there I guess

Yea but the fact that they've tried to extend Jesus, Marte, and Sandy all around the same time is refreshing to hear.

The financial ramifications are to onerous. They have to compensate City of Miami & Miami-Dade County (50% EACH) for the equal value of the Marlins, IIRC. They still have 19 years left on the lease. That is unless MLB puts in the money to do it....it would make some sense, because it would give the Rays a place to move.

Pay Marlins to move so Rays can move to Miami? instead of just moving the Rays?

If MLB wanted to move the Marlins to whereever and the Rays to Miami, I'm sure there would be some agreeable path honestly that wouldnt actually cost any real money to the Rays or MLB from Miami.

I'd agree with this thought, as the city would still have a major league team. But I don't understand why they'd do that and not just move the Rays themselves and leave the Marlins where they are.

I didn't understand moving to Marlins out to move the Rays in.

I was just stating that the local government wouldnt stop any move as long as a MLB team was playing in Miami. But yes, its an idiotic idea that will never materialize.
