The Union Wants Bud Selig To Force The Marlins To Spend More Money
Here's the projected payroll for the 2013 Miami Marlins. After a fire sale that began with trading star shortstop Hanley Ramirez and ended with trading star shortstop Jose Reyes (and everyone else), this isn't a rebuilding year. It's austerity straight from Christine Lagarde's desk....

The Marlins' Megadeal Could Be Good For Miami If Jeffrey Loria Didn't Exist
It took almost a week, but everyone's taken their physicals and the commissioner's office has signed off on the crazypants deal.

The Marlins Specifically Promised Not To Trade Jose Reyes And Mark Buehrle, Traded Jose Reyes And Mark Buehrle
Need another reason to hate the Marlins?

Mayor Of Miami Writes Letter To Bud Selig Imploring Him To Stop The Marlins Trade
It's not just Marlins fans and baseball bloggers that are mad at Jeffrey Loria for gutting the Marlins roster yet again.

Despite All Outward Appearances, Not Every Miami Marlin Was Traded Today [UPDATE]
So the Miami Marlins are officially the unintended comedic shitshow of the offseason, having traded away some high-priced talent to the Toronto Blue Jays for prospects, a so-so shortstop of questionable judgment, an old recliner, and a $20 gift card to Waffle House (or something). But wait! What of ...

The Miami Marlins Are A Hilarious Disgrace
Here is what has happened in the last year of the Miami Marlins, formerly d/b/a Florida Marlins: They swindled the citizens of Miami for a new stadium and drew the SEC's notice. They filched Jose Reyes from a franchise that has actual fans but no money and a municipal government that refuses to be ...

When He Was A Player, The Marlins' New Manager Did Basically Everything Naked
Mike Redmond is the new administrative face of the failed Marlins. He got that job presumably because he's a reliable, steadfast leader. A grit guy. A scrapper. A serious fellow, unlike Ozzie, that putz....

Mike Redmond Is The Marlins' New Manager
Which no-hit catcher was going to get this offseason's first managerial job? Mike Matheny got his last year. Would it be Brad Ausmus, the Ivy Leaguer who delighted the Red Sox? Sal Fasano, who won Eastern League manager of the year in 2011? Nah, it's gonna be Mike Redmond, Heyman reports....

That Damn Marlins Fan Was Behind The Plate Again Last Night At The World Series
Perhaps you noticed a douchey-looking gent behind home plate during NLCS Game 7, wearing a bright orange Marlins jersey and Marlins visor worn sideways. If not, you definitely saw him in the same seat tonight, still wearing the Marlins shirt though in a panda hat (that he later changed to a differe...

The Marlins Have Fired Ozzie Guillen
The Marlins have fired manager Ozzie Guillen, reports everybody, after a hilarious 69-93 season that included a five-game suspension, a feud with his closer, and a premature reality-show cancellation, and fell short of everyone's expectations. The Marlins were apparently unaware of Guillen's body of...

The Marlins Ate $8 Million Worth Of Salary To Get Rid Of "Bitter Pariah" Heath Bell
The Miami Marlins traded Heath Bell away to the Arizona Diamondbacks—well, gave him away and promised to pay part of his salary, more than traded—and the Miami Herald dispatch announcing his departure made sure to give him a good kneecapping on the way out....

The First Season Of Marlins Park Was A Tremendous Failure
The Miami Marlins opened their new ballpark in April to much pomp and fanfare and cringe-inducing spectacle, and there were great hopes that the empty orange seats that had come to represent the very idea of baseball in South Florida would fast become but a memory. Funny thing about that! The team, ...

Adam Greenberg Is Getting A Topps Card
Adam Greenberg got his much anticipated first official major-league at-bat last night. R.A. Dickey struck him out on three pitches, but Topps thought his "dedication, hard work & persistence" were worthy of being immortalized on a baseball card. The stats on the back of that card are going to look p...

Adam Greenberg Finally Got To Swing The Bat In A Major League Baseball Game
Adam Greenberg finally got his first official MLB at-bat tonight, seven years after getting hit in the head in his only plate appearance. Unfortunately, it came against R.A. Dickey, who whiffed him on three pitches, something the presumptive NL Cy Young Award-winner specializes in. Regardless, good ...
