Giancarlo has been tweeting, seems pretty pissed off to say the least

just heard that the Marlins included the fish in the fish tanks behind home plate in the trade also.
one BP writer suspects that all new players that the Marlins sign will demand strict no trade clauses in their contract. You pay double taxes when your traded to Toronto.

Selig could not neg this trade after the Red Sox/Dodgers deal he approved 3 months ago.

I wouldn't be shocked if we hear next that Stanton was traded overseas
If I was a Marlins fan I would say good riddance to the lot of overpaid underachievers. They overpaid for Reyes, Bell in hopes of getting Pujols.
Signed Guillen as a manager to add more hype and that backfired because he is a big mouth boneheaded idiot.
I would much rather watch a group of young developing talent lose 100 games than a bunch of overpaid old farts win 60. That stadium is an theme park attraction in itself, so if they where smart they would make it multi use (UFC, NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball) to make the money back.
Makes me happy to be a Ranger fan home grown talent with a few key "Intelligent" free agent signings. Now if only they could find a way to put a roof on the stadium.

AA Jacksonville in the 2nd half is going to be awesome.

Sounds like Mike Redmond knew about this and it played a part in him being rewarded the job.
That's what they were talking about on MLB Network earlier.
you don't want to go too crazy - I think they are accountable to their shareholders so you have to show some profit growth, too. Maybe if the Jays improved with this trade they can jack up the price/sub of the Rogers SportsNet and SportsNet One channels.
As to giancarlo, he should just shut up, concentrate on improving his play and enjoy inking a good free agent contract in a few years with another club. He may not be able to control what Miami does in the near term, but if he's a superstar in a few years he'll have a big say in where he will end up and how much he'll get paid.

The difference is the stadium and the shambles the franchise will be left in. The Sox/Dodgers deal was huge but the Red Sox didn't decimate the team.

Are the pro players in Canada taxed the same % as the rest of the citizenry?

No. The are taxed according to their place of residence. Clemens was a Texas resident for tax purposes when he played for the Jays.

Yes and No
Blue Jay players pay a Canadian income tax on their earnings in Canada on home games. It totals about 48%. Blue jay players also pay a Provincial tax. They get up to 35% of that 48 % back of the Federal when they file their taxes at the end of the year from the US. However, some states such as California and New Jersey may not honor tax treaties between Canada and the United States so some players pay both the provincial and state tax regardless of where they live. After that, a Blue jay player is required to pay state and city taxes to all states he played in for his away games accept for games vs the Rangers, Astros, Rays, and Marlins. So 14 games at Fenway Park a season means paying state tax in Massachusetts and city tax to Boston.
Darren Oliver says your tax return playing in Toronto can be 50 +pages.

Hmm thanks. I've actually always wondered this.
JP- I guess you want to kick JPA to the curb to see TDA in the lineup? LOL.
Arencibia is still learning. Hard to trade a catcher that has the ability to hit the longball.
Its much easier when the guy you will replace him with has a skillset like D'arnaud does. He could hit for average and hit HR's.

This is just a crazy trade. Wow. But Marlins fans, wasn't trading Hanley a sign that a fire sale was coming? I just didn't think it would be to all one team :lol: You weren't going to win with the team you had going into 2013...now you can lose much cheaper and improve for the future.
