I think any top free agent will make a NTC a mandatory thing after this and the Sox/Dodgers trade.
You can't avoid it, blackace. M's are desperate, they're gonna make a bonehead decision

Mike Wilner just said if Texas decides to get rid of Ogando the Jays will trade Arencibia for him

Jacob Turner is going to be the ace of the Marlins staff!

Nice to see this thread get some action today. Was near dead for awhile there. We need these trades more often!

I think most jays fans weren't even expecting a Buerhle type of pitcher this offseason, much less an ace in J Johnson and Jose freakin Reyes.
If the can pry Ogando from Texas for JPA then...... This is too much for me. At least keeping Lind will be easier to swallow.

We give up a lead like were Loria giving up his team.
I've wanted JJ since before the Trade Deadline.
i think even if he walks after a year you still win this deal.

we all wanted him. What were the rumors at the trade deadline for him?
I don't think there were any specific rumours, just that he might be available. I figured the Jays had the talent to make the deal and it would give them 1.5 years to look at him and decide on an extension. Seemed like a good match at the time.
Why? Its not like Stern doesn't allow teams to do sneaky evil shit all the time.
Witness Donald Sterling's entire time as the Clippers owner.
Dare I even mention the Sonics? The Grizzlies? The Hornets?
Yes please.

Johnson, Morrow, Romero, Buerhle, Happ with Drabek and Hutch on the shelf and McGowan's arm falling off 
Rockies have pinstripes.

But the Nats won the NL East this year.
Seriously you guys, it has to be Colorado.
Imagine seeing this: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=23997285&c_id=mlb every home game. First 90+ homer MLB season.

holy fucking shit, Loria
dude is a monster
Let us think on it, council. It will happen.
Teams that wear purple need not apply.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
I have faith in Jack..
I can imagine giving one year too long, but I doubt they will give Josh an ARod like contract
He's actually working with the Yankees now.

Andre Ethier for Giancarlo Stanton. Straight up.
Let's do this, Ned.

What a sad day for Miami. I feel the same way Jon does. I have no affiliation with the Marlins whatsoever, but this trade is horseshit. And I don't understand the rationale behind having a brand new stadium built and then nuking the entire team. What purpose does the stadium serve if no one will want to attend games now? I would NEVER attend a single Brewers game again if Attanasio did something like this.
Congrats to the Jays fans here. Toronto just played the phenomenal hand they were dealt, and it should make the AL East even more interesting to watch for the next couple years. Poor Farrell.

SO. MUCH. TALENT.
Seriously. If I'm ever in Miami during the summer, I am not going to pay to watch the Marlins.

What's humorous is that the Marlins kicked everyone's ass in May.
They were 29-22 and only 0.5 out of first behind the Nationals on June 1. They had one bad month and immediately started dismantling the team, trading Hanley Ramirez and then Omar Infante/Anibal Sanchez.
They gave up because of one bad month.

Mets also have pinstripes...
Lucas Duda for Giancarlo Stanton. Marlins save money and get rid of that Tweeting malcontent Stanton. Win Win!

Marlins have zero reason to trade Stanton. Dude is cost controlled for awhile and is only going to gain value as he continues to put up numbers, plus his highlight reel homeruns are the closest thing they have to a draw with that shitty fanbase.
