Marlins Waste 111 Million on Jose Reyes

Question

All I can say is wow...111 million for a guy that cannot stay healthy? This deal is mind boggling to me..No question Reyes is a dynamic player when healthy, but I would be shocked if he plays more than 100 games in any single season..

How will the Marlins pay guys by drawing 2,000 fans per game?

Sparky10191 · Answer

Yes. Playing 130 games or less in a season makes this contract over the top. But this is more than that. The Marlins just got an impact player. A player fans can be happy and excited about. And they're not done yet.

It's a good move.

&#xD;&#xA;The Heat had problems drawing fans until they got LBJ and Bosh.&#xD;&#xA;I heard a good arguement about this the other day. Now that they play in a dome...people, who come from all parts of Florida, won&#x27;t have to worry if the game will be played. They won&#x27;t have to worry about it being too hot. They can be confident when they come that they will see a game. &#xD;&#xA;And the more guys they sign...the more excited they&#x27;ll get. The first year is the most important. Fans will go just to see if things have changed. As long as they don&#x27;t go and say "same old Marlins" than people will come back for more.

I have to give Jose Reyes credit for having a great agent. He&#x27;s a Punch and Judy hitter who couldn&#x27;t stay healthy if he was living at the Mayo Clinic.

&#xD;&#xA;With the new park, the hiring of Ozzie, and the splash into free agency, I think they are planning on drawing a touch more than 2,000 per game.

He will pull a hammy hauling all that cash to the bank............

The Rays are a contender, with a dome, and draw about the same as the Marlins, without a dome until now. So, will a dome and new acquisitions give them a 62% increase at the gate to reach the MLB average of 30,666? They still have to prove they want baseball in south Florida. We'll see.

As a cubs fan i know about speed based free agent signings see alfonso soriano. Once Reyes messes up his legs he&#x27;s worse off than crawford and soriano. $100 million down the drain.

Sparky10191 · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Not sure exactly where this new stadium is located but the Rays are located in a very shitty area and the Trop is a joke (I&#x27;ve never been there...but that&#x27;s all I&#x27;ve heard my entire life).&#xD;&#xA;Not sure if tickets went on sale for the Marlins or where this number came from...but the Marlins are expected to get around 2.5 million fans this season. Who knows? But like you said...we&#x27;ll see.
