I think I like this for Toronto much more than I did for the Dodgers, in their megadeal.

Jason Parks just tweeted, in a counter move, the Red Sox are now trying to acquire the Braves.

[olboi]

Wow.

 

@jonmorosi

#Marlins opened season with a payroll of roughly $100MM. After this trade, non-arb 2013 obligations will be ~ $16MM. Historic salary dump.

i'm guessing John Farrell really wants his job back right now

[USSoccer]

I hope their stadium gets declared unsafe and shut down

[ctcf]

On a more serious note, I'm somewhat concerned about the ramifications this will have for sports going forward. Any time a team asks for public help building/renovating a stadium, the local and state governments are going to point to this.

When they backloaded all those deals last winter, there were rumblings this could happen. Never though, did I actually think it'd be a year later. Kind of wonder if MLB even lets them get away with it.

From the journalists on twitter it sounds like there is 0% chance the MLB steps in.

[BCVM22]

Some react with anger, some just with incredulity.

MLB needs to do something because Loria just completely screwed that entire town and the players.

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1

2 execs spoke to already said this: Ricky Nolasco will be next to go from #Marlins

[Tryptamine]

#Marlins only team that charges media to park, and you must buy it on their Web site and pay handling fees, too. Cost $78 for 4-game series.

 

Seriously, Bud needs to get that team away from Loria.

I mean, they kinda knew that a year ago when Sampson made those statements saying they don't give a flip about the fans and just wanna make money.

are the blue jays prospects going to miami any good?

[Post Count Padder]

Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun reports that Jeff Mathis will be part of the megadeal with the Marlins.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Juan C. Rodriguez says the Marlins will also get pitching prospect Anthony DeSclafani. It appears that they are the final two players the Fish will receive in addition to Yunel Escobar, Adeiny Hechavarria, Henderson Alvarez, Jake Marisnick and Justin Nicolino. Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buerhle, Emilio Bonifacio and John Buck are headed to Toronto along with a reported $4 million in a deal that could be finalized later Tuesday.

Nicolino and Marisnick are very good prospects. Hechavarria is incredible defensively but that's about it. Jays didn't give up any of D'Arnaud/Sanchez/Syndergaard which is surprising.

[huff]
