Why could the Marlins not get Manny and LA was able?

[whormoan]

The Marlins couldn't give away an extra bag of balls? The Dodgers don't even have to pay Manny, didn't give away Kemp or Ethier, and can let Manny walk if he doesn't work out. Can't imagine why the Marlins couldn't make it work

Of course, I'm just a fan so I don't really know why stuff like that happens.
But I think one factor, which the media never mentions, is the relationship between the player's agent and the team's management.

Completely lost amidst all this trade hype is the fact Anibal Sanchez returns tonight. If can get back to his pre-injury form, the starting rotation will be completely revamped with 3 new additions in the past month. That is bigger than any trade, yet no one talks about it.

 

[Mr.Smith]

I really like the Marlins tonight, but its pouring right now

 

[Mr.Smith]

Manny is a bigger name than he is worth right now. I like the trade for Boston. it may work out for LA too. I cant see Manny in Florida, he's more interested in his next contract than in trying to win games right now.

Anibal had about as good a numbers as anyone in 2006. It's just a question of the injury and what he will have coming back. He was decent in his rehab starts.

Why couldn't Marlins nab Manny?

 

[Mr.Smith]

LETS GO

 

[JakeT.]

Rockies win it tonight fellas. Anibal is not ready to return.

 

[Mr.Smith]

de la Rosa is doing his "Rudy" from the Bad News Bears impression.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Marlins were a little reluctant to part with Tucker in the trade and Pitts asked for another minor league and they had some second thoughts.

Sometimes it's better to say nothing and be thought a fool rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

 

[Mr.Smith]

Marlins could be a sleeper with their rotation now

 

[Mamon]

josh johnson is as good as anyone.

 

[DennizdaMenace]

Because the Marlins are about 1.5 games out of first place without that asshole...

Why pay one guy the same salary as you are practically paying the entire team?..Not good this guy for fish..Cancer..

Fuk Manny being Manny

Boston is paying almost the entire remainder of the salary. Florida wanted him

Yes I know they are..But he is still earning just about the Marlin`s salary..They looked at him..but did not want him bad enough to deal Hermedia for a clown who may be here 2 months..

Just another sound move by Marlin`s management letting this clown pass..Better for overall team morale too as we witnessed tonight..

Baseball is not an individual sport..I dont care how much each position player earns..Its a team sport..

Thats why the Japanese are champions of the world..Not the USA
