I'd much rather they sign Matt Capps, to save the Twins from themselves.

May the Schwartz be with you
Marlins....wow lol
Bill Smith isn't there to self destruct the twins anymore.

Never too late, become a Rays fan!
Glad to see the Marlins are being aggressive in their pursuit of winning. They do the whole blow it up and build it up again thing right. Maybe the Mets can learn a thing or two about it.
Sorry avatar buddy.

He's not, but Gardenhire is pushing to bring back "Cappy." I'd be fine bringing him back for $1-$2 million as a middle reliever, but they're talking about bringing him back as the closer. I have much more trust in TR than I did in Smith, but there's too much smoke around this for there not to be fire.
If they're going to sign a mediocre former Twins closer, bring back Rauch or Hawkins.
I'll sign him for 4/160.
He's got a wicked shuuto.

Maybe the Texas Rangers can actually seal the deal this year.

any way we can spin David Wright to the Padres for Omar Minaya? Obviously Sandy is not cut out for this job. I mean we are getting rid of latins- but we're getting rid of the wrong ones.
We'd have to take back some filler I guess. I'm thinking Wright for Minaya/Orlando Hudson.
What do you guys think?

So the Fish sign Heath Bell and Jose Reyes and now there's talk we're close to singing CJ Wilson this week.

Supposedly, when the Fish courted Pujols, they showed him photoshopped into the new uniforms. I can imagine that was a horrible idea...

Yeah I honestly don't get this at all unless teams were scared by red flags regarding his health. A large chunk of his value comes from his speed and when that's gone then he's basically just Carl Crawford.
Still a totally fair signing by the Marlins. They really do it the right way. Don't waste any money at all when you're in the cellar and then go big and go for it all. Other teams could learn some things from Miami.
Like how to cook the books and swindle gajillions of dollars from local taxpayers and moronic politicians
It was unquestionably his health. That injury last season cost him a few million dollars.
And the Mets get a third rounder out of this... Meet the Mets.

Even though I know it'll never happen, how funny would it be to see the Mets sign Rollins?
Not funny at all? I'd have to question Alderson's mental state if something like this were to go down.

Jayson Stark: "Now that the Marlins have Reyes and Bell, they are planning to 'aggressively pursue' Albert Pujols in the next 48 hours."
So my dream of seeing Reyes, Pujols, and someone else rise out of a floor in South Beach is well within reach now?
Good times.
I suppose they better do this shit before the feds start reviewing their books.

I don't Miami qualifies for a big baseball market. You're just a triple L here.

They'd better get CJ Wilson and Cespedes too before the feds freeze their assets.

Guess this is the kind of thing Miami has to do to bring fans to the games.

Jon Heyman is reporting that Hanley Ramirez already agreed to move to 3B before they agreed with Reyes.

Hey, at least now we know Pujols isn't signing with Miami!
...or is he? thatsthetwistshamalaylans.jpg

I can't wait for the hour long show where he decides he's taking his talents to south beach.

Full transcript of Sandy's presser is up. Cliff notes - Mets are super broke.
The roster is not complete, but you had used the term 'not punting' earlier this offseason. That still holds true? What does that mean?
"I think it holds true from an overall standpoint. Will we be favored going into spring training given what may or may not happen? And keep in mind all of this is speculation at this point. If we get all our players back healthy, which would count among them people like Johan Santana, we'll be fine."
Sandy is more delusional than the average Mets fan. Great.
