Never thought I would say this, but I am really excited for the upcoming baseball season.
Selig let the mid-season Boston/LA trade go through which had similar circumstances so there should be no surprise that this trade went through. The Marlins didn't win with this group anyhow, and even if this deal gives a massive middle finger to Marlins fans, it's probably better for the team in the long run.Nik V.

I don't think there was ever any real chance it would be vetoed. After all, Selig is the guy who oversaw the last two times the Marlins did this.

Me too. It's pretty nice.

And yet at the time of his firing the Jays were last in the AL East.Potvin29 said:Justin said:John Gibbons brings back memories of Alex Rios, Russ Adams, Shea Hillenbrand, Ted Lilly, Gustavo Chacin, Josh Towers, and Miguel Batista.

He also led the Jays to their only better-than-3rd place finish since 1993.
