Toronto’s not a bad place to
land (I do love Canada and Canadians). But I understand why Reyes is still so angry at his former boss for trading him after just one season in Little Havana. It
was further proof that Marlins ownership cares nothing about the players or the
fans, who will end up paying through their noses for that brand spanking new
stadium.
After leaving the New York
Mets, Reyes probably thought he would find stability and peace in South Florida. But
that didn’t last very long as he was traded this past offseason to the Blue
Jays. At least Reyes will still be paid very well to play baseball north of the
border.
Reyes is not the only former
Marlin to vent against his former bosses. Mr. Perfect Mark Buehrle called the
Marlins a bunch of liars after the huge trade that made the Jays instant
contenders for the American League East division title (thanks a lot, Loria). I
doubt many free agents will be willing to sign with the Marlins, who refuse to
give no-trade clauses, despite the lure of sunny South Florida.
The Marlins have screwed
their fans left and right, but they’re not the only ones getting screwed over. Even
time can’t heal all wounds.
