First of all, the Marlins just came out of one of the worst seasons in franchise history. EVERYONE IS EXPENDABLE (except Stanton of course)! The core of this team was absolutely pathetic, they had absolutely no heart and a losing mentality. No manager could of fixed them. We were going no where with this team so there really isn't any reason to be throwing fits.
Second of all, these players owed a **** load of money. Why would you still have that on your team after the season we just endured? With the team that we have now, we would prolly be just as bad, but not be paying a ton of money. Hopefully we use the money we can spend a little wiser next time around.
The only player there that hurts in the deal is Reyes. I feel like his contract was fair and was one of the best player on our team. He looked like he enjoyed being here and it's sad to see him go. But JJ had one year left, we weren't gonna keep him... He really hasn't been the same anyways. Buehrle was a good pitcher, but it's not like he was amazing either. Not really all that sad about Boni leaving and Buck sucks.
The prospects we got in return seem like the could be good contributors down the road. We need to get back to what this franchise use to be about; great pitching and great defense. We got a potential 5 tool OF and potentially a great defensive shortstop. The pitcher we got could be solid (hopefully more than that but we'll see) and we got a few arms of our own as well.
The thing i am most pissed off about is the recklessness we showed last offseason coming to bite us in the ***. Right now the FO looks like they do not know how to run a baseball team and embarrassed themselves, the organization, the fans, and even the freakin MLB. Also, this makes me worry a whole lot about potential FAs coming to sign here and Stanton resigning.
I still have faith in this organization that we will make this right. It's obvious that they are going to start from scratch with a new coach, stadium, and team. They will built this team in the image that won us 2 WS.
