Marlins Pathetic Payroll

[love_that_reefer]

After the Marlins trade of Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis, the payroll for the Marlins is now $8 million. This is ****ing ridiculous!! Kevin Gregg is now the highest paid player and he makes $850,000!! The Marlins need to move away from Miami ASAP. Screw the new stadium and pick up and leave. The fans don't care and obviously you don't care. Sad thing is the Marlins win it all in 2011.

I'm with you reef! Get rid of the Marlins, Nationals, Royals, Rays, Twins and A's and go with a four-division, 24-team MLB. Baseball will be better off.

No contractions, just move the ******* team some place where people will go to the games.

A third New York City team should be in order.

Portland, Vegas, Oklahoma City. Any city with fans dying for MLB team.

[browntown653]

I doubt Oklahoma City is dying for an MLB team.

[love_that_reefer]

They are dying for any pro team.

Isn't Oklahoma City the largest city in the US with no professional sports team?

[love_that_reefer]

Since I am just incredibly busy, why don't you look that up Leo?

[HollywoodLeo]

Austin, Texas is actually the correct answer

[HollywoodLeo]

I guess it's not even that far up the list

Austin, Tx
El Paso, Tx
Louiville, Ky
Las Vegas, Nv
Oklahoma City, Ok

Memphis wouldn't be bad. They already have a stadium and its not too far from where I live Louisville is too close to Cincy.

[HollywoodLeo]

I'd definitely go to Memphis occasionally when the Padres go to play the Marlins. (Or whatever they'd change their name to)

Although, I just remembered Memphis has the Grizzlies, so they don't really belong on that list.

I disagree, Marlins can go. Rays, Royals, Nats, Twins and the A's are actually good. If you want to dump them because they play low ball that's just sad, low ball is one o fhte ways GMs can run a baseball. It's very interesting to see how it would go. Nats pulled good trades lately, Royals are signing lots of free agents, Rays are off to a fresh start and smart moves, Twins and A's have been good through the past years.

If getting rid of Elijah Dukes counts as a smart move for the Devil Rays, that would make acquiring Dukes a dumb move and hence, not one of the "good trades lately" for the Nationals.
