What ever happened to trading for Zambrano? Was under the impression he wouldn't take much to get..

Last I heard, Epstein is up for giving him another chance.

[kusch]

On a realistic note, what would it take to get Gio? Logan and Yelich, or more even?

[TheMendozaLine]

Apparently Heyman said on MLB Network that offer is for ~$250 million

[MiamiHomer]

He was speculating that it could be that high. Nothing definite.

How do 10/5 rights work? Isnt it ten years in MLB, and five with same team? So wouldnt that mean if we keep Pujols for the first five years he would have 10/5 rights anyway? Or are we admitting that three years in this doesnt work and we firesale everyone?

#Marlins pres David Samson says: "There will NOT be a free agent signed that includes a no-trade clause." So team sticking with policy.

Damn straight.

Correct.

sadly i think so. I think our best bet would be Garza. A Gaby package could work if you give the right peoeple.

I would give Yelich for Gio, if it didnt include LoMo or Stanton. From what i hear, Yelich is the real deal...

[Valid]

It's not unreasonable to think that.

Thinking it is one thing, but making it seem like a factual statement (which is what it seemed like he was doing) is another.

[Fishfan79]

If we did sign him, should we pencil in Stanton for 45 home runs?

[Valid]

Honestly, I don't think it would be too farfetched to pencil him in for 45 even if we don't sign Pujols.

I was watching and did not think it seemed that he was doing that at all. I think you are being a little sensitive.

Fair enough.
