Since Texas is in bankrupcy they have to get MLB Approval before taking on salary however MLB has told them if they get the team to send cash along with the deal,that would be even better.

Reason why SF got Michael Main instead of lesser prospect

However MLB has to sign off on any deal anyway that involves over a million bucks

I keep hearing we like Beau Jones(LOOGY who is in AA) but the sticking point is how much better the other prospect will be as well as us asking for another low level prospect and Texas saying no to a 3rd prospect

Beau Jones is no Loogy

vs lefties .364
vs righties .135

Jones is also a C level prospect so that 2nd piece better be a B-

Marlins are NOT close to deal with #Rangers on Cantu. Can't agree on players. #Rockies have stepped up bid for him & #Giants still in mix.

maybe Cantu goes 4-4 tonite and the Giants feel they HAVE to have them then

Like I said.... can't agree on amount of smoke in the bag

[LocoMarlinFan]

Money might be holding up a Jorge Cantu-Rangers deal, as the Rangers can't add any payroll and would want the Marlins to pick up the entire $2.25MM tab.

Do it god damnit!!!! This is our only chance to get something decent for Cantu.

[Big Z]

Aren't we supposed to pay for the remainder of Cantus contract regardless, if he's shipped to TX, as TX can't take on more payroll? Maybe we are just waiting to see what else is offered for Cantu by other teams.

#marlins looking or big prospect back from rangers for cantu, apparently.

DO IT

[Ralph]

If they pay his salary then they should get something good. Big not so much but a Robbie Ross yessir.

[Ramp]

a wet paper bag is fine with me

[Fritz]

Grocery size or lunch size?

[FishFanInPA]

what's the use of it being wet? You are relenting and it's costing us.

[Nick]

We should trade for Walker.
