Marlins Trade: Thoughts?

[MDtransplant757]

Uhhh. No.

I would do Bundy, Wilson, and Cisco for Fernandez though.

I would do bundy, matusz drake/brach

Baltimore Receives:

Jose Fernandez, RHP (ML) -- expected low-seven figure arb in 2016, under control through 2018

Martin Prado, 3B (ML) -- owed $11 MM in 2016 ($3 MM to be paid by Yankees)

Miami Receives:

Manny Machado, 3B (ML) -- expected ~$6 MM arb in 2016, under control through 2018

No, no, no. No pitcher-for-Hall of Famer deals. Not even a pitcher who could be a HOFer if his arm stays intact for a long time and his attitude problems are overblown.

Right yet Again. There would be a revolt if we traded Machado. Led by fangraphs and by your average joe fan.

A Jose Fernandez for Yasiel Puig deal might make sense (for everyone except Don Mattingly).

I don't see it happening, maybe if we throw Gonzales in, it might, but I don't see it

Unless retirement has mellowed Bonds – unless, frankly, it has made him patient as a monk – he, like everyone else who walks into the petri dish of palace intrigue that is the Miami Marlins organization, will be done in by its well-worn dysfunction. For there is no greater set of fools in baseball than Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria and president David Samson, and no matter how many great baseball men pervade their offices ... the amphisbaena atop the org chart will counteract any positives with its serial boobery.

Bonds is set to join the Marlins as a hitting coach...and would return to the game that seven years ago forsook him because of lingering embarrassment over his steroid usage. While the stigma against PEDs hasn’t lessened significantly, baseball cannot forever blackball a mind as keen as Bonds’.

...

“It’s never gonna get better,” ... “It’s never gonna get fixed, as long as they’re running things.”

This goes well beyond the shadiness of Loria and Samson’s lies to get public funding for their stadium or how they funneled cash from the Marlins to themselves or their refusal to spend revenue-sharing dollars on major league payroll or even the con job that turned into a fire sale. This is simple and straightforward: Their refusal to allow knowledgeable baseball people to run their baseball team inhibits whatever advantages those baseball people may otherwise bring.

Most of the issues... stem from the meddlesome nature of Loria and Samson, whose presence around the major league clubhouse isn’t just some irksome quirk. At one point during the 2015 season, Marlins manager Dan Jennings held a team meeting and asked the players how to improve the atmosphere around the team, according to multiple people present. The players’ top request: Keep Samson and other front-office types out of the clubhouse.

“It was like Festivus,” one source said. Marlins players were incensed that the luxurious 767 about which Samson bragged during spring training – a custom-designed airplane he told reporters would help the Marlins’ on-field performance – never materialized. They were tired of him approaching players after the game – especially after losses – to talk about their play. In the Marlins’ clubhouse, nobody is immune to the whims of Loria and Samson – not $325 million man Giancarlo Stanton, not the just-called-up minor leaguer making $500,000 and certainly not anybody on the coaching staff.

At the end of October, the Marlins fired Jennings. Once an advocate of the front office, Jennings had become too close with the players, and to Marlins upper management this is a sin. Never mind that this is the goal in 29 other franchise, to have a manager in tune with players and cognizant of the front office’s goals. In Miami, this is a threat, because the Marlins’ history shows that debasing players may as well be an organizational mandate.
