Blockbuster Bluejays/Marlins Trade

WvGambler · 11-13-12, 06:39 PM

Yea the Marlins just dropped about 6000 trillion dollars. Those fans have to feel Roethlisbergered.

Bcatswin · 11-13-12, 06:42 PM

Marlins get Escobar, Alvarez, Hechavarria, and Nicolino

This is huge

jose21_us · 11-13-12, 06:44 PM

Did this really happen?

paranoyd androyd · 11-13-12, 06:46 PM

overrated trade. marlins doing very well being able to dump reyes' and buehrle's horrible contracts. and johnson has failed to put it together after plenty of time. will definitely help toronto put some butts into seats though.

Bcatswin · 11-13-12, 06:46 PM

So much for that new stadium

CanuckG · 11-13-12, 06:48 PM

Blue Jays don't give up anything really

Bcatswin · 11-13-12, 06:48 PM

Did they trade the fish in the aquarium behind home plate?

easyliving · 11-13-12, 06:49 PM

AL east just got a whole lot more interesting. Get used to the basement Red Sox fans

WvGambler · 11-13-12, 06:49 PM

Johnson pitched well down the stretch. He had serious health issues to overcome. Guy is still a stud

Oh hale no if you have to give up the lil guy I wouldnt do the trade....

zoo youk · 11-13-12, 06:51 PM

what a penetrating steal this is. Jays are officially now contenders in the AL East.

Encarnacion and Bautista RBIs are going to be even higher now (which is insane) with Reyes getting on base in front of them.

Reyes is a huge game changer.

Louisvillekid1 · 11-13-12, 06:52 PM

Al east Fukkin stacked, especially if sox get it together.

zoo youk · 11-13-12, 06:55 PM

why did the Marlins only give this one year? jaysus...they made all these moves to be contenders and shot it to hell..something has to be going on behind the scenes....owners broke or something

BigSpoon · 11-13-12, 07:02 PM

The Blue Jays finally start spending some of that Rogers Communications money. Think their payroll just doubled overnight with this trade.

Wonder if they are going to hire Ozzie Gullien as the new manager too?

paranoyd androyd · 11-13-12, 07:04 PM

and the marlins will win another world series before the jays do

daneblazer · 11-13-12, 07:05 PM

Nicolino will be a hoss

hels · 11-13-12, 07:06 PM

If the Blue Jays were anywhere else but the AL East I would be truly expecting a playoff appearance.

The division is so stacked I can only be optimistic they put a few good win streaks together and get in.

iifold · 11-13-12, 07:09 PM

Realignment must be around the corner...

Whole division is stacked now

paranoyd androyd · 11-13-12, 07:11 PM

the east isn't anything like it used to be. yankees are aging fast with inconsistent pitching, orioles will regress, sox have zero pitching and a bunch of scrub bats. tampa probably has the best short to medium term outlook, but they can't draw and want to move.

Cuse4tw · 11-13-12, 07:12 PM

Reyes is probably excited about this

CanuckG · 11-13-12, 07:15 PM

Stanton just tweeted hes pissed hahahaha

Tigers
Angels
Rangers (without Hamilton)

vs.

AL East

billysink · 11-13-12, 07:16 PM

The Jays have done nothing to address their biggest weakness which was their bullpen.

i'm guessing your being sarcastic but he probably really is. he's still getting paid his monster contract and now goes to an actual possible contender, gets to hit in front of bautista an encarnacion. guy has been playing dysfunctional organizations all his life, yeah i'ts toronto but he might finally get a chance to win

true but you still can't pass a deal like this. pure highway robbery.

CanuckG · 11-13-12, 07:32 PM

Absolute steal

This Fukkin prick never has a bad post, sharpest poster on sbr!

Ghenghis Kahn · 11-13-12, 07:41 PM

it's not the first time the marlins dumped their team. besides, it looked like the stadium was empty the whole season...

CanuckG · 11-13-12, 07:42 PM

Bryce Harper trying to get Stanton to come to the Marlins

Marlins will be the worst team next year.

THE_LOCKSMITH · 11-13-12, 07:46 PM

lol. the marlins totally backloaded the contracts too, only paid Reyes 10 of the 106 million they signed last year and Beuhrle got 6 million of his 4/58

antifoil · 11-13-12, 07:50 PM

haha owner scammed the people to pay for a new stadium. public funding for stadiums is such a great use of government resources.

can't imagine how much that guy made off this fraudulent deal. deserves the people right for voting to pay for it.
