Marlins Acquire Nate Robertson from Tigers

[Ramp]

So we can afford a 2 mil Robertson in April but not a 2 mil Pedro?

$2mil Robertson is roughly $333,000 a month

$2mil Pedro in August is $1mil a month

2mil pedro in August is 333,000 a month

that's what pro rated means.
--------------------
Source told me that the Tigers will be paying almost all of Robertson's salary with the Marlins. He earns $10M this year.

sounds like it don't matter anyway, which isn't surprising.

Sad thing is we probably could have traded them Hunter or Tank IF we would have made them pay less of his salary

I don't think you are using pro rated correctly.

Pro rated is for the time he is playing on your team. Therefore, Pedro for August and September would be at $1mil per

JoeFrisaro#Marlins I'm hearing Marlins are paying the minimum $400,000 on Robertson, who will make $10 mil this year.

Pro rated is for the time he is playing on the team, yes. It's based off annual salary. You sign the base annual salary, than you get a pro-rated amount of that based on time played. Ergo, 333k a month.

Pro-rated means that he's signing a 1 year, $2 million deal, he's taking those terms, but they're only applied to the last two months of the season. You're taking the average monthly salary, not diving the entire contract value over the actual time period he's working. At least that's how I understand it.

why would i, because i'm a rational person?

as far as i'm concerned for 400k i trust him to put up a 5 era more than i trust hensley to do that. dig that we got a lefty, and like others have said he's just a placeholder till west or miller dig their heads out of their asses.

and especially considering we all wanted to give dontrelle a look, why the fuck not give someone who can still find the strike zone SOMETIMES a look? voss isn't anything special. we've got relief arms for now and for the future. if you're going to lose sleep over losing a lhrp then my goodness.

best case scenario? robertson puts up a 4 era and we win some ballgames

likely scenario? he puts up a 5 era, heads to the pen as a long reliever or a loogy once we want to call up miller or west or vandenhurk

worst case scenario? he sucks and we're out jay fucking voss and 400k. big deal.

[Todd]

I was being a smartass.

This just screams "move that didnt really need to be made". A move to make a move.

[emkayseven]

it's a move to get a lefty in the rotation and to get a 5 starter who's thrown a meaningful mlb start since 2006

[nny]

Nobody is losing sleep. That doesn't mean it's not dumb. We gained nothing and gave up something. Regardless of how important that something is, it's still something.

Again though, if you don't sign him until August, you're then paying him $1mil in each of the final 2 months.

In actuality, this is a $6mil deal pro rated when August comes around. So he's being paid as if it was a $6mil deal for the final 2 months.

WE AREN'T GOING TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE OUR ROTATION SUCKS

Don't respond to this with, "This move is going to put us in the playoffs?"

The crazy screamo whiney responses are just fucking dumb in here

We haven't had much to complain about since they decided to put a patch on the jersey, now they got a cheap pitcher, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
