Marlins 2013 Off-season Thread

[Bobbob1313]

Didn't everyone get mad at them for signing Kevin Kouzmanoff to a minor-league deal last offseason?

Now y'all are getting mad at them for not signing Mat Gamel?
--------------------
I guess Gamel is three years younger than Kouzmanoff, with an even worse MLB track record. So it's not at all the same!
--------------------

I would rather have us take a chance on him and if he gets hurt again O well then rather than find a 35 yr old on the FA market

Can you just spell out "oh" next time? It's literally just one extra key stroke, man.

How about Abreu at 3B??

Josh Wall was claimed by LAA

So Dan Uggla for 2B in 2014 at $3M a season? I might actually support such a move...ugh.

We'd get better production from Dietrich. And he's cheaper and not an Affliction-wearing dbag.



(assuming Loria ever allows him to play for the Marlins again)

Hill and Jennings extended through 2018 via Miami Herald

[Nick]

They'll be fired by next year.

[AdamRavs]

We can extend front office people all the time but not extend say Stanton?

[Fritz]

Well, extending a dude for $500,000 a year and $20,000,000 a year is a big difference.

[emkayseven]

he wouldn't be 20M a year if we had Longoria'd him

/mk7

[Beef]

Plus he doesn't deserve 20M

[AdamRavs]

But he will get 20m a yr from someone. If we have zero intentions of signing him just deal him now.

@Buster_ESPN: The Angels want pitching,and sources say they've indicated a willingness to other teams to trade Peter Bourjos or/and Mark Trumbo to get it.

Twitter

Trumbo's been linked to Marlins before and we have plenty of pitching. Would be great if he could play 3rd base, but I'm not sure he can.

[emkayseven]

no chance they trade the pitcher that would be required to get trumbo back...and no chance they go to arbitration with trumbo

[marlinsfan24]

Unlikely the Angels do it, but I'd do Henderson Alvarez for Trumbo.
