Marlins Designate Cox, Hernandez, Reed and Scott Maine for Assignment

[Miamarlin21]

They already are giving up on Cox? Nice trade guys.

[emkayseven]

said in the other thread, maybe they figure no one will touch his salary and they'll be able to get him off the 40 man, but if someone does want his salary they'll give him up

[Miamarlin21]

But like why do they keep a guy like Caminero still on the roster over Cox, who was pretty good. I know he struggled last year, but that is a very short leash.

Maybe we're all thinking about this wrong. Maybe they're trying to tank the season and try to out suck the Astros to get the first pick in the draft.

Is there an awesome prospect out there? Won't they just go for the cheaper alternative?

Because Cox makes 750k even in the minors

Edward Mujica for nothing, in Beinfest we trust! :notworthy

Carlos Rodon!!!

Mujica blows anyway

[Beef]

That's not what matters here, ever.

Because Cox sucks and Caminero throws 100, perhaps.

[Beef]

But no other team has ever traded their crappy middle reliever for a guy that didn't turn out to be an all-star. This should be the last straw.

LoMo, Ceda and Silverio all placed on the 60-day disabled list. The earliest they can be activated is May 31

Shouldn't it be retroactive? so they all could be activated earlier than that.

They still like Cox,just trying to sneak him thru waivers which alot of teams try this time of year. Thinking is try to get him off now rather than June when no other guys are on the wire but him

Reed,Maine,Gorkys are whatever

Caminero won't get DFA because he throws 100,doesn't have tons of innings on his arm and long as he can control his pitches he is useful
