Can't wait until Stanton leaves that wretched team.
In 18 games .388 .468 .597 1.065
Because the Astros covered everything for Lee.
I would imagine Josh Johnson and Carlos Zambrano are next. Wonder if they will pawn off Heath Bell too.
Wonder what Mark Buerhle's thinking right now.
Trade the entire farm system for Stanton.Can't wait until Stanton leaves that wretched team.
I could see the Marlins going big in the free agent pool again next year.
In fact, I bet this is going to be their strategy every year now. Spend like crazy for free agents and blow up the team at the deadline if they suck.

BREAKING MLB UPDATE - Sources close to Phillies have told me if the Phillies are able to move Pence, Hamilton will be their top Fa target
LULZ.
Oakland supposedly had a deal in place for Hanley and agreed on the players, but they refused to take on his entire remaining salary. The Dodgers said they would pay and got him.

Phillies and Cole Hamels are "extremely close" to a 6-year, $137.5 million extension.
Lineup Prob be
Gwynn/Gordon
M Ellis
Hanley
KeMVP
Ethier
Uribe/Hairston
Loney/Rivera
A.J Ellis

Fixed.Wonder what Jose Reyes is thinking right now.
Yeah, whatever. They'd be way over the luxury tax. Unless they just don't give a fuck anymore.
Hanley should be hitting 5th.
AJ Ellis should not be hitting 8th.
<.300 OBPs in the leadoff spot. Someone give Mattingly a copy of Moneyball.
I really like this trade. Now if only we could get a 1st baseman and another infielder.
I agree. Should have traded Chad for AGon while they had their chance.
Honestly what the Marlins are doing is a good thing. Can't believe they found somebody willing to take Hanley's contract.
That team they built this year sucked. Unload those contracts, pick up whatever prospects you can get and then go for it again. It's worked out well for them in the past.
Last offseason they tried to build a team through FA and it failed. They made huge offers to guys like like Albert and CJ but they chose to sign elsewhere. I think it is going to be tough for them to keep signing a few guys and then blowing it up and starting again each year.
Why? If I am a free agent it's the perfect situation. I get a massive deal and if the team sucks they trade me to a team that is in serious contention. I get all that desperate team money and all that good team success.

I guess but they are totally at the whims of players. Last year the 2 biggest guys they went after turned them down. I think the Marlins are always going to be lower on players lists then teams like the Yankees and Sox.

The Franchise should be awesome with the fire sale.
While promising to put all that extra money back into the team. As if the people of Miami-Dade didn't regret that stadium enough already. Gonna be a field day.It's a good thing they stole all that money from taxpayers to pay for that new stadium.
