Following the latest Miami Marlins fire sale that will send Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, John Buck and Emilio Bonfacio to the Toronto Blue Jays in yet another despicable move by team owner Jeffrey Loria, a couple of the players are speaking out and saying that management lied to them. Reyes and Beuhrle are saying that the Marlins gave them verbal guarantees that they would not be traded. They both signed long term free agent deals with Miami less than one year ago.
And now, they are headed to Toronto and very upset.
Guess what? Too bad.
I will be the first to tell you that this is just another disgusting action by the worst owner in all of professional sports. Hell, I said that this team should be contracted if Major League Baseball cannot take over full control of the organization. That is how strongly I feel about my pure and utter loathing toward Loria and the Marlins.
But I do not, however, feel badly for Reyes or Buehrle.
Did the Marlins lie and give them verbal assu...

If you thought Giancarlo Stanton was thinking irrationally when he ripped the Miami Marlins on Twitter earlier this week and would later apologize, think again. The 23-year-old outfielder is still upset, and he was not shy about making his feelings known when speaking with MLB.com’s Peter Gammons on Thursday night. “I do not like this at all,” Stanton said. “This is the ‘winning...

Okay Mets fans; what is your lasting memory of former shortstop Jose Reyes? For me, a lifelong Mets fan who has been with the team through good and bad (mostly bad), mine is his final game in Queens.
With a batting title in his grasp, Reyes laid down arguably the best bunt of his career to date and beat it out for a single. The hit raised his batting average to .337 and gave...

It sure was an exciting week last week, between the blockbuster trade and the signing of Melky Cabrera. You've seen already two different responses to the blockbuster trade, and I do also share the positive feelings about the Melky signing (although I have to respectfully disagree with the lineup configuration described in the previous post and the idea that Kinsler might be...
