I NEED THE UPDATES ON THE ALEX GORDON!

Probably an indication the organizers didn't want to scramble for a backup in case he leaves and doesn't want to do it. Not that I'm holding out hope he stays.

Consider me fully on board the "trade for Marcell Ozuna" train.

I'm not sure what his value is right now, (I've seen him connected with Cleveland, but can't imagine Carrasco or Salazar is on the table) but he's a young (four years of control remaining) player with good power who played a quality CF in 2014, given regular PT.

He and his agent (Scott Boras) feuded with the Marlins last year, which I think affected his performance. But put him in this clubhouse, with Spanish-speaking guys like Salvador Perez and Edinson Volquez to lead him, and I think questions about his focus and dedication to the game can be positively answered.

It sounds like he will be playing 2016 somewhere else. Why not KC?

He'd still be cheap this year, doesn't hit arbitration until 2017, and would be controlled through 2020. If he hits, all of a sudden you've got a cornerstone OF piece around which you can build.

I'm not sure what it would cost/what Miami would want back, but SP is likely to be part of it.

Don't think the Royals have the ammo to swim in this pool. But it's interesting nonetheless.

My initial guess would be: Boston.

Dombrowski loves to trade prospects, and the Red Sox still have several studs for him to trade away.

Another Boras client. Guess they're really pissed at him.

Agent Boras rips Marlins for demotion of Ozuna

I'd be scared to death to acquire Fernandez. I just can't see him last very long with the arm strain. Would love Ozuna but with 3 cost controlled years i don't want to see the sticker price on trading for him

The Royals don't have enough to get him, anyway. Dombrowski will do what Dombrowski does, and empty his farm system to get him.

I'd not be surprised to see 4 of their top 10 prospects + Henry Owens moved to the Fish. Something like Devers (no. 2), Johnson (No. 3), Benitendi (No. 4) and Kepech (No. 6).

No idea what Ozuna's cost will be. The Marlins have kind of Colby Rasmus-ed him/his value.

But if they're trading Jose Fernandez, too, that probably indicates that team is no longer trying to compete (as this window was built around Fernandez and Stanton), and they might be willing to take more value that's farther away from MLB in return for Ozuna, which would help KC.

Loria might be the worst owner in sports.

There's little doubt he is.

Miami gets tons of revenue sharing money, which is a gigantic joke considering it's a huge market and they have a brand-new stadium Loria tricked Miami taxpayers into funding.

It's his wife's money, though, that made it possible for him to buy the team. Don't think he has much control of the purse strings.

Miami could be a baseball mecca if the right ownership group was in place. First of all its Miami, second the Latin influence, no income tax, beautiful weather, women etc. Free agents should flock there. It's amazing how shitty the owner is to screw up, what should be a model franchise.

Miami has never drawn well for any of their sports.

Heat sell out every night. Dolphins drew well for years.

Warm weather climates where people have a million other options for things to do don't tend to breed rabid sports fans.
