Marlins Trade Everyone to Toronto, Receive lifetime supply of Maple Syrup

You can't fucking do this the second year of a new stadium

If you have Loria, you can and you do.

My son will be raised as a Red Sox fan.

what's going to happen if we go out and sign Josh Hamilton now?

[Party]

[AdamRavs]

what's going to happen if we go out and sign Josh Hamilton now?

You mean BJ Upton?

[Ramp]

what's going to happen if we go out and sign Josh Hamilton now?

I would do a line

[Chewford]

what's going to happen if we go out and sign Josh Hamilton now?

That is another thing on the official list of things that are never going to happen, right after Bono finding what he's looking for.

[oakelmpine]

If you were going to go after Grienke you would have been better off extending Johnson. So I am thinking...no.

I doubt they have any plans of locking up Stanton either. Because that costs money. Loria would rather be ass fucked by a pinecone than spend money.

I think this it is very obvious that Stanton is not in their plans.

They have bent over the Marlins fanbase yet once again. Loria just needs to be gone.

Fans really came out last year when they spent the money and the team sucked...who cares? The fans will come if they start winning. They likely weren't going to win in 13 regardless of the scenario. The team was built to win in 2012 and 2012 was a failure. I'm glad these players won't be here in the latter years of their backloaded contracts.

The fans are not going to come Erick. Maybe this is your youthful exuberance showing and not having really lived through 98 or fully got 05 while it was happening, but this is the third epic meltdown of the franchise in 15 years. And this time there is no world series ring AND a new stadium that taxpayers predominantly paid for.

It's over with this ownership. If this is Loria making the team more attractive to sell to a new owner, so he can say "nothing is on the books, do what you will," cool, I get that. But if these guys stick around, no one is going to support them. Not even if they sign 4 premium free agents in 2 years. No one will believe they will be around.

There is no confidence left. No one is going to believe or trust them. Not now, not ever. It's over until they sell.

[Ramp]

well if they were winning, fans would show up

[Namaste]

Sandro is doing a thing and I'm trying to figure out why

[Ramp]

weren't you thinging like 8 pages ago?

[oakelmpine]

If Toronto ate all the monies, which I am assuming

Nolasco makes $11.5
Webb will make $1 in arb
Dobbs makes $1.5
um....
Turner makes like $1
so does Cox (major league contract) $1

Escobar has got to make a few million

Bell makes $4
Ozzie $2.5

2013 payroll is around... let's say $30 million including Ozzie

Lou I just saw on the MLB Networrk scroll, as of right now, the Marlins have $20.2 million in contracts committed to 5 starters right now.

It's tragic. If Selig allows this trade, it will be obvious he cares nothing (which we already suspected) about baseball in South Florida.

I don't care that he is thinging.

I'm wondering why he is thinging about this thing.

It's best if you stay out of it.
