Nobody wants that god awful contract. It was bad when we gave him the intial 3 years 26.5 million dollar deal, and it's still bad.

If Texas can not get Cliff Lee,watch for a Olt for JJ deal.

They are waiting to see if they can get him and if no JJ is #1 on the list and yes they know what exactly we want for him


Also to all the guys who complained when I told u that they were trading Hanley for next to nothing and the responses were we need a Top Prospect. TOLD U SO

If LAD did'nt agree to pay ALL of his salary,he would actually be in Oakland right now for Grant Green and minor league arms with us paying about 18 mil of his contract

[TheMendozaLine]

The moving vans have already carted away Anibal Sanchez, Omar Infante and the deposed face of the franchise, Hanley. So the big question around the Fish Tank is: Is Josh Johnson next?

Well, there's no question the Marlins are going to do a lot of listening -- on Johnson and the rest of this underachieving roster -- in the next six days. But here's our guess on what team Josh Johnson will be pitching for a week from now:

The Miami Marlins.

An official of one club that spoke with the Marlins' brass told the Daily Rumble on Wednesday that he would estimate the odds Johnson stays in Miami at "95 percent."

This, that official said, is not Wayne Huizenga's Marlins. And what's transpiring now is not a fire sale. It's a statement, mostly, that the Marlins of Hanley Ramirez and his friends had proven they couldn't win and wouldn't win. So they're looking for a whole new recipe. But they'll move Johnson only for a monster return.

An executive of another club reports the Marlins say they will trade Johnson only for a package centered around a young, star-caliber player who isn't arbitration-eligible. So who's that? Mike Trout? Stephen Strasburg? Chris Sale?

The list of clubs that are likely to make a run at this guy -- or already have -- includes the Red Sox, Angels, Rangers, White Sox, Blue Jays and Royals. But the message they're hearing back from the Marlins is that Johnson is the toughest player on their roster to trade, with the possible exception of Giancarlo Stanton.

So while the Fish might not be done, and players like Ricky Nolasco, Heath Bell, Gaby Sanchez and Carlos Lee are being made eminently available, The Ace is in a whole different category.

Which probably means, the way this week is trending, that he'll get traded before lunch. Right?

Is TX deal the only way we deal JJ?

Do you think they'll include anything else?

[tjfla]

If it is Texas the young star caliber guy is Mike Olt. Texas has already called on JJ and were told Mike Olt.

As for Carlos Lee,I have heard he is open to join a contender and we should be able to get 1 or 2 decent prospects for him(Texas-Beltre hurt?,NYY-ARod out???)

[Anonymous]

Mike Olt, Leonys Martin, and Cody Buckel.

No idea I just heard they called on him when the Red Sox report came out and our response was Mike Olt and we were told no thanks for now we are looking at others(Also know as Hamels and Lee)

This endears you to no one.

[tjfla]

The only thing about a JJ deal is this

We will NOT give him away!! Beinfest sees him as Greinke value and Wandy Rodriguez is just below Greinke-3 somewhat nice prospects for him???
--------------------

This endears you to no one.

HAHA I could care less if it endears me. Just get a little pissed when I try to tell u guys whats up with us and get a few idiots telling me to F Myself and I got no clue what I am talking about.

Told us nothing.

1. The comments were about Josh Johnson, not Hanley. You were discussing Josh Johnson for quantity value. That's not happening.

2. I'm starting to like Nathan Eovaldi because it seems like the fanbase thinks we dumped Hanley and nothing else. Eovaldi has the potential to be a nice piece. He's a power pitcher who was a top 100 prospect in baseball before the year began.

If Hanley continues to be the Hanley of the past two years, this trade is a win for us. It's only going to suck if he becomes the Hanley of old again. I think I just stated the obvious, but yeah.

Yet you weren't right.

What you said yesterday was basically questions asking us "what about Gose+ for JJ?" That's clearly wrong and not happening.

I told everyone 2 teams were in on Hanley with Baltimore talking Avery,Flaherty,Round 1 pick,and arms and got u dont know what u talking about.

Then said Oakland has jumped ahead when they decided they would take most of his salary(Which is where he would have been if LA didn't take ALL of his salary) for Green and minor league arms

And the Gose+ for JJ question is do u think they would consider that since they were talking to the Blue Jays about JJ

[Big Z]

TJ, do you see us trading Nolasco? Any takers out there?
