I mean they sign Joe Reyes for106 million they have Hanley on the payroll and every time I read a baseball article I see the Marlins are involved. I dont know about any of you but a new ball park and logo wont make me spend any more money than I normally would. Im a die hard Yankee fan and have been since I was 8. I still havent been to the new Yankee Stadium. Is a new ballpark really going to make the Marlins that much better off financially? What about in three years from now when the novelty has worn off? They offer Pujols 220$ over 10 years which is fine but where the fuck will they get the money and who is going to trade for him when he is 35 making 25 mill a season?
They offered CJ wilson 17 million a year. I understand people will say they can trade these guys off but like I said how are you going to trade these big ass contracts in a few years? Lets say they sign Pujols. Now you have 106+220 plus Hanleys 16 mill/. year they already have -342 million gauranteed over the next some odd years. You think anyone is going to take on Hanleys contract and attitude? Or his 16 mill a year. Sorry but if you want a SS who hasnt been that good for the last 2 years well then your an idiot!
Any answers? Where will the Marlins get the money to pay these guys when the novelty of the new park wears down? You either have the fans or you dont. And judging by the attendance the last decade they dont.
