Most interesting points from both sides. AA's comment that there would be no deal without Bonifacio. The Marlins saying there would be no deal without Mathis. These are professional baseball front offices just 8 years ago.
The Marlins in turn traded Yunel for Deitrich, Disco for Latos, Hech for Braxton Lee, Marisnick (and others) for Jarrod Cosart and Nicolino was released. They just have a terrible front office and owner. Starting a trade talk by guaranteeing a world series is the most fantasy baseball thing I've ever heard (and something I said this offseason)
Further...BA's writeups for Thor and Nicolino at the time of the trade
That's right Marlins...always take the mid rotation lefty over the top of the rotation potential. And they have continued that trend throughout the decade.
