Wow Marlins, just wow

[Aurel Joliat]

What a move by the Blue Jays !

[DennisReynolds]

Holy **** my head is going to explode. It was good enough that we were going to get Buhrle and Johnson, but REYES?! HOLY ****

[Rafa Nadal]

And the Marlins are back to their 10K fans a night (and that's being generous).

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Props to the Jays for making a bold move. For years we've heard ''Rogers will spend the money when the time is right'' and it was true.

They've needed a legit leadoff hitter, now they have one at a key position.

Johnson can perform like an ace and this will be his FA year, so he'll be very motivated. They still need Romero to bounce back, but that's a nice rotation now with Morrow still there.

Red Sox have big holes, Orioles are unlikely to repeat, Rays don't have the $ to upgrade much and the Yankees are a year older and are apparently dead set on not spending more than 189 M in 2014. The moment to strike was now and they took advantage of it.

As for Florida, I think they got a good young starter in Alvarez and 2 talented SS's, and the pitching prospect Nicolino seems promising, but this completely kills any credibility ownership had left in that market.

[IU Hawks fan]

HAHAHA, this is hilarious. What a pathetic organization the Marlins are.

[Death Taxes Conacher]

Why would a free agent ever sign with the Marlins again?

[Bob Richards]

I love you Marlins. Every time I get sad about the Mets, you always manage to out do us in ridiculous moves.

[PayItForward]

I bet Pujols is happy that he didn't sign with Miami right about now, seeing as this was one of the exact reasons he didn't sign with them.

Considering this:

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Remember: The #Marlins do not award no-trade clauses.

Probably none.

Gotta wonder if the Marlins getting 2 Cubans is their way to get the Cubans back on their good side?

[DennisReynolds]

Jays now have Buck, Mathis, Arencibia, and D'arnaud as catchers who are all capable of being in the big league next season. There are still trades to come by and since Mathis just re-signed with the Jays, I can see Buck/Arencibia being traded unless D'arnaud gets traded for a stud pitcher.

I like that the Marlins are basically now the team Rachel Phelps assembled in Cleveland in the hopes of moving it to Miami.

Please contract the Marlins. I'm sick of this clown franchise. The firesales, the total lack of fans, the new stadium bill being footed by everyone but the owner

Not to mention them bringing out a ****ing half-dead Muhammad Ali and then encouraging the fans to chant his name after everyone went silent while realizing the guy was essentially a corpse

At least this time they didn't win the World Series before throwing everything away

Buck is dead weight, I suspect he'll be DFA'd. He's Mark Teahen of 2012.

Giancarlo Stanton ‏@Giancarlo818

People say that about the flyers.

It would have to be way more cash than the next team if I know there's a strong chance I get moved in a year. Anybody with options should avoid Miami.

"Source: #Marlins will get Jacob Marisnick or Anthony Gose, as well as a catcher -- Arencibia, Wilson or Mathis"

hopefully not gose

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Gregor Chisholm ‏@gregorMLB
A source just informed me that Jake Marisnick will be a part of this reported deal. #BlueJays #Marlins

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Fact: Mike Redmond managed Jacob Marisnick in the minor leagues this year.

If Arencibia in it, that's a 3rd Cuban, heh.
