Kind of related but has anyone seen the dimensions of the new Marlins park? Here they are overlaid on Petco.

With new stadium Marlins are willing to go from $80 million payroll to $120 which is how they can make these offers. Let's see how that works out in Miami. It may not be sustainable even with a new stadium.

Pujols acquaintance guesses -- just a guess -- marlins need to be $40M over to beat #stlcards. That's $240M.

Pujols has home, restaurants, charity in st. louis. Hard to see him leaving for extra $20M. 1 agent guesses $250M gives miami hope.

That makes sense.
Plus playing in a packed stadium full of knowledgeable, rabid fans instead of half-full grave yards of retirees and illegal aliens.

Jon Heyman is nothing but a mouthpiece for Scott Boras and whatever other agent wants to feed him information.

He has also said that the Marlins have raised their offer to 13 years, which is almost certainly 100% bullshit.

In order to maintain any degree of dignity or credibility, Heyman should probably just say that someone hacked his account. He's leaving SI for CBS soon anyway, so there's some believability to it.

If it's Heyman, just ignore it.

(EDIT: It appears heyman's old SI account has been hacked...so nevermind; Heyman's still full of shit, though)

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but Pujols' agent is a raging d**kbag. I have no doubt he's advising his client to take the highest offer.

Even if Lozano wasn't a raging dickbag he'd be telling him that, he's started his own agency and is in direct competition with Boras/Fielder this offseason. Now if Albert is letting his raging dickbag of an agent make his decisions for him then, that's his own damn problem.

Hmm, the Marlins don't want to add a NTC. You have to be a genius to figure that one out.

Mi_chief_fan · 12-06-2011, 03:19 PM

I'd like to ask Marlins fans (both of them) the same thing I asked my Cub fan friends: who's your pitching rotation? After Johnson (who was injured most of last year), you've got a whole lot of ??????, not to mention Reyes is only good for 2/3 of a season, and Heath Bell is also declining.

I don't know, I still haven't lost hope that he regains his sanity and realizes STL, as a career choice, is still the better option.

But who knows; maybe they'll trade Sanchez or Morrison to STL, i'd take LoMo as my new 1b if I had to.

Same could be asked about the Cardinals, after Wainwright/Carpenter.

kcpasco · 12-06-2011, 03:25 PM

So is Albert taking his talents to South Beach?

Cardinals are making it known to other teams that Lohse is available. To clear room for Buehrle? To clear room for Pujols? We'll see.

Not sure what they plan on getting for him. He doesn't seem like someone that would net much in the off season given his salary.

And has he even agreed to accept a trade?

Are you serious.

Garcia is a solid 3.

They have the top two ranked pitching prospects in the minor leagues.
