Can't even imagine how the national media would react to such a move.

I would say the media is pretty well numb to the Marlins way of operating at this point.Amy Adams, AKA Cinnamon MuffLogan Morrison: "If baseball didn't exist, I would probably be ... like a curler. Or a hairstylist."

Media's been talking about the new sign-and-trade possibility for a while now. It's just a matter of time until it happens.
This would actually be the Marlins showing some creativity and foresight, but I'm sure they'd still get blasted for it.

Can someone explain the point of a sign and trade? I mean if you're trying to avoid losing a draft pick but you're giving up a player you've already invested time and money in developing who has the same abilities as the potential draft pick don't you end up with a net loss.

The Mets would lose their first-round pick if they signed Bourn, because they are 11th in the draft this year. They would be 10th, if Pittsburgh hadn't gotten an extra pick for not signing theirs last year.
If they sign and trade, they could give up a second-round-ish prospect for Bourn and come out ahead.poop

We still have about 3 or 4 more offers out of minor league deals(Bobby Abreu,Dice-K,Valverde-even tho reports are conflicting) but nothing major. I do like however that we are signing guys with some talent to minor league deals instead of just guys who have no chance of doing anything for us
There was also some talk bout Tampa liking Bryan Peterson so might be trading him to TB however they are having a major 40 man crunch right now.

In fact teams have already started calling about Dobbs(not offering anything but a prospect)however with Matt Downs being pretty much the same player beside a RHB they think we are willing to trade him and pay Downs less
