I agree Loria is a croak but he has a legit reason for making this trade. Its not like the team made the playoffs or even won 80 games. Buerhle is a solid starter but isnt worth the money he is getting. And Johnson has been hurt alot lately why not dump him for Prospect before they have to resign him? Reyes is the only thing i can see people having a problem with. But once again he is a good player that is really overpaid. It a smart trade for a team that lost 100 games

Yea, if he goes and spends money in free agency to replace those guys in an effort to put a winning team on the field, I'll take back what I said and shut my mouth. But he won't, he's just going to trade Nolasco and Morrison for a couple C-level prospects and head into the spring with a $15 million payroll, suck again this year and collect his revenue sharing check. The trade has nothing to do with baseball. And not that it matters, but they didn't lose 100 games.

Sources: Marlins broke promises

Quote:

Miami Marlins fans are not the only ones feeling betrayed by ownership’s decision to break up the club.

Shortstop Jose Reyes and left-hander Mark Buehrle, two of the five Marlins headed to Toronto in a pending blockbuster, are upset that the team broke verbal promises to them regarding trades, according to major-league sources.

The Marlins do not award no-trade clauses, but club officials, while recruiting Reyes and Buerhle as free agents last offseason, assured both players that they would not be moved, sources said.

Buehrle knew the Marlins’ history of dumping high-priced players, and it concerned him, according to a friend. Team president David Samson, however, told both Buehrle and his wife, Jamie, that the team was committed to a long-term vision, sources said.

The Buehrles have two children — a son, Braden, 5, and a daughter, Brooklyn, 3. They also own a 2-year-old pit bull, Slater. The province of Ontario, where Toronto is located, bans pit bulls.

Jamie, sources said, was emotional in a conversation that she had with Samson after learning of the trade Tuesday. Samson had initiated contact with the Buehrles to inform them that a deal was imminent.

“I spoke to Mark Buerhle. He said he was sorry things didn’t work out,” Samson said in an interview with 790TheTicket, a radio station in Miami. “I said, ‘I’m as sorry as you that things didn’t work out.’”

Samson did not respond to a request to comment on the specifics of this story. Neither did Buerhle’s agent, Jeff Berry.

A source close to Reyes, asked if the shortstop also received verbal assurances from the Marlins that he would not be traded, responded, “The answer is yes. A vehement yes.”

Buerhle, 33, rejected a three-year offer from the Washington Nationals last offseason to sign a four-year, $58 million contract with the Marlins and reunite with his former Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.

Reyes, 29, agreed to a six-year, $106 million deal, also grabbing the best financial package.

On Saturday, both officially could become Blue Jays.

The 12-player trade between the Marlins and Jays is awaiting commissioner Bud Selig’s approval and the completion of physicals. Reyes had been in Dubai, sources said, and did not return to the U.S. until Thursday night.

The Marlins also signed a third free agent last offseason, awarding a three-year, $27 million contract to closer Heath Bell.

It is not known whether the team also told Bell that he would not be traded. But the reliever, after enduring a miserable season in Miami, probably was not disappointed when the Marlins sent him to the Arizona Diamondbacks last month.

Bell declined to speak about his season with the Marlins in an interview with the Arizona media after the trade, saying he wanted to look ahead to his time with the Diamondbacks.

I bet Pujols is sure glad he didn't go to Miami now.

I'm excited too, but wouldn't be surprised if half the team goes on the DL at the same time.

That looks like a last place team to me, probably will finish slightly under 70 wins.

Greg Dobbs is your five hitter? Start printing up those WS tickets.

Might become the 3 hitter within the next few days if Morrison is traded. It's ok, you can be jealous.

On paper, the Blue Jays are a serious contender. I just pray to god that they can stay healthy.

Just imagine if you guys somehow win 70 games next year and Loria comes out and gloat about how fans were wrong and he was right. Would be the ultimate **** you to fans.
