Yep. The truth is, both Loney and Martin were both disappointing, Loney moreso.

Both looked like they could be top players at their positions.

Talking about a circus in the MLB, the two biggest ones were in Boston and Miami.

ANOTHER MARLINS FIRE SALE!!! Worst organization in the MLB, and the worst owner in the MLB, Jeffory Loria!

[Diddy]

Also the Marlins payroll is now $16 million, so maybe the A-Rod to Miami deal can go through.

@Giancarlo818

Alright, I'm pissed off!!! Plain & Simple

Demand a trade Giancarlo, you will be irrelevant in Miami while you are still there.

yet another marlins firesale

I said during last season they were doing it.

Everyone down here is making a big deal but when you take a step back and analyze the moves, they just traded an immature Ramirez who is due $36.5 million over the next two years and is batting just .245 in his last 776 PAs in the last two years and is a liability on defense. A second baseman who doesn't really WOW in any category, a starting pitcher who will be a FA next year and command a huge raise even though he's just back of the rotation pitcher and a 36-year old left specialist.

Also, who is to say that they don't spend again next offseason and hopefully learn from their mistakes.

*ahem*

The Marlins should not exist anymore. They should merge with the Mets.

[Yisman]

They absolutely should be contracted, and that conman Loria should be forced to repay the city. Take all of his assets.

It was bad enough when they changed from the 'Florida Marlins', which they'd been since their origin...

[Cakes]

The Metlins might be able to win 84-87 games next season.

Last place finish for the Red Sox this year. Awesome.

[statjeff22]

This must be a record for a team abandoning any attempt to pump up attendance based on a new ballpark.

Blue Jays GM: Lets trade

Marlins GM: Who do you want?
