redsoxsuck05 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'd rather see him go to STL and vault them back to perennial contender status. I think he's wasted on the has-been Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are willing to pay out more of the contract. Also a location that Stanton may say yes to along with a clear desire to obtain him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Ramos a lot but I mean, come on lol. Yeah this has to be primarily money considering the Cards deal is centered around Alcantra. I like Alcantra but... as the centerpiece? Nah this is them trying to clear off some of the payroll because they took on almost $400M in debt with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxsuck05 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Why would MLB approve the sale if they're selling off their top asset for pennies just to compensate for a lack of $$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The franchise has been running in the red for years, they had to take on about $400M in consolidated debt with the purchase of the team. So they are trimming payroll as much as possible right now to get the franchise back into the black, pay off the debt, then begin anew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, the debt the new Marlins ownership group had to take on would have dropped down to the purchase price. In this case it didn't because they knew they'd be able to trim expenses. It's basically the MLB propping team valuation up at the expense of the Miami fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
