Would you have (Miami Marlins edition)???

Logan Morrison:

hey @JonHeymanCBS I just read that we got mathematically eliminated from the 2013 playoffs. Is that true?

[Rynoplasty]

We didn't want to give Reyes or Buehrle those stupid contracts last year when they were freely available on the market and Miami signed them. Why would we want to take them on now at the price of Castro+?

Logan morrison for cubs broadcasting spot

[RedHeadsRule]

I wouldn't, no. The package is too quantity over quality-ish for my liking in return for Castro, and the best player in return would a SS which wouldn't be much of, if any, of an upgrade (surely not in a few years). With his injury history, we probably wouldn't get many years out of JJ, then we'd be paying for the back end of Reyes and Buerhle instead of reaping the benefits of Starlin's prime years + flexibility.

[shrek]

we are taking in way too much salary and we would have to give up a little more than just castro

If we could somehow pry LoMo from that sinking ship and sign McCarthy, we'd at least have the best 1-2 Twitter punch in baseball. New market inefficiency?

[Jack the Ripper]

I was actually curious about how a tax would work for players playing in another country that has a much higher tax rate

[CubsFanBudMan74]

i would yes


soler/baez/almora and some still getting developed while we contend in this weak dviision? hell yeah

an i would try like hard to get price when hes available

[gaughan333]

I don't know if Tex, Arod, Granderson really make you a contender. They also add like 50+ million a year onto your payroll, making Price that much harder to get.

[northsider]

Rather stick on our current path then take that deal and put together a "meh" team that has the possibility to be good.

tex and Arod add 50+ Million, I think Granderson makes a good deal more than Castro as well.

No I wouldnt do it.

You would What?

No GM should have made the deal that Toronto did. Some are scared to second guess AA but I think he gave up way too much in what was clearly a salary dump. To give up two top prospects and to pay the majority of all of those salaries as well is a rip off. They will be fighting for years to get from out of those deals unless they can flip Johnson or Reyes.

[ABE32]

I would throw out and offer for LOMO and Nolasco. Soriano/Russell/Marmol and a filler for LOMO and Nolasco We pay all of Soris salary. Nolasco has 1 year and 11.5 million remaining
