Marlins Sign Heath Bell to 3 year, $27 Million Deal

[Bobbob1313]

'Cause everyone should have a 37-38 year old closer.

I'm going to like this deal just to spite you.

[jOOj]

He's VERY good. I'm ringing my bell right now.

[HUGG]

I just can't fucking believe they weren't willing to pay 3 million less for a closer who is nowhere near is good.

Fucking pricks. I'm pissed they're spending 3 million more of their money to make the team better.

FUCK YOU LORIA

[Big Z]

Maybe his cousin (Drake Bell), will sing on super saturdays.

[HUGG]

Loria could have spent that $3 million on some paintings!

Dick.

[jOOj]

Take a look to the sky just before you die.

[HUGG]

I'm only including the first year of his deal cause we're just gonna trade him after the season like all our free agent signings.

BECAUSE LORIA IS THE WORST

GOOD COMP MIBS

I wasn't comparing what they did last year. But Bell is 34. He's more likely to start to decline in production since he's getting on the back side of his career.

[Fritz]

I like the deal because the team is better and it's not my money.

[HUGG]

And still be better than whatshisname.

We're gonna pay Bell's contract for this season at least when we non-tender Nunez and Volstad.

This is why you have always been for me PCIII

And Juan Carlos already started his decline in production. He's not that good.

[HUGG]

Plus he lied about his name and age.

WHAT ELSE IS HE LYING ABOUT!?

[Party]

He's lying about his WHIP I feel it.

[HUGG]

People who falsify their information don't make 6 million a year in MY AMERICA

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

But there are other good closer options out on the market that are younger. If Bell were closer to 30, I would have no problem with this. He's good. But we're going to be paying him $9 million a year until he turns 37 and possibly until he turns 38. Would much rather have gone after Madson or one of the other younger closers.
