Selling Time: Marlins Trade Deadline Discussion

[Big Z]

#Dbacks Ryan Roberts says he was told a trade is on the one yard line.

Isn't Roberts their 3rd baseman?

[Chewford]

That could mean two opposite things depending on which 1 yard line they are referring to.

[tr305]

Um, sign me up

[emkayseven]

Yeah he was designated for assignment so something is brewing with someone

[Mainge]

Um, sign me up

For what?

I'm sorry in advance everyone.

Hanloaf and Beef for Crawford.

Hanloaf and Beef for Crawford.

That would be horrible.

[Erick]

Hanloaf and Beef for Crawford.

I don't like Beef either, but he's more valuable than Carl Crawford.

Don't know exactly where to put this but if we are planning for 2013 you gotta see who is out of options next year. By my count here is the list:

Emilio Bonifacio
Edward Mujica
Wade LeBlanc
Bryan Petersen
Alex Sanabia
Ryan Webb (?)

Anyone have someone to add or dispute my calculations (which could very well be wrong.)

Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS
rival exec: should be "feeding frenzy'' for josh johnson. dominating outing boosts his market. #fish #firesale

I knew if someone would use the fire sale tag, it'd be Jon Heyman.

[Party]

It's only a matter of time before BizBallzMaury starts trolling Twitter. He must have been sleeping during trade.

[emkayseven]

I'm going to have to unfriend him for facebook. He's going to be awful today

[MiamiHomer]

He already sent out his first tweet about it like 15 minutes ago.

[HUGG]

It's every bit of what you'd expect it to be.

No one should post his shit here.

I'm fine with this exodus of players at this point and sort of hope JJ and Ricky are the next two on the move for some offensive talent. The guys being moved are the ones that have been here for a few years and had much expected from them as a unit and it never panned out. With the way top pitchers are getting paid right now, it's not a bad idea to get some young specs that will be MLB ready soon for the rotation again.

Too long have we've been waiting for this core to do something worthwhile and this season was suppose to be the quote defining moment for them and nothing came of it. The Marlins have shown they can and will spend in the last off season and although I'm not satisfied with the current FO and their moves in the past. I'm okay with the idea of moving some of these guys at this point and starting something fresh.
