Why are the Marlins trading two of their best players Stupid. Your vote has been counted thank you for voting. TRADING PLACES Five trades that shaped the Marlins franchise . The first dismantling deal came days after the World Series and is likely the worst in team history. Alou who took less to come to Florida and some think should have been the Series MVP was bitter. All three pitchers were busts while Alou has gone on to have a long and memorable career. This deal was all about the money. Piazza lasted a week and Zeile was gone by July in the final dismantling of the world champs. Sanchez was a phenom in but there are questions after shoulder surgery this season. Some consider Lee the best all round first baseman in the game. Lo Duca was a valuable catcher but he and Mota and Encar! nacion are all gone. Penny who beat the Yankees twice in the World Series is one of the finest pitchers in baseball. Had the Marlins hung on to Beckett and Penny they would be the envy of the majors. NASHVILLE It pained him when he traded Derrek Lee. It hurt him to let go of Juan Pierre. As chief architect of the Marlins Larry Beinfest always has found it hard to say goodbye. This time Beinfest said was even tougher. But there is a special side to this one and this one is personal for me. Willis was acquired in the first trade Beinfest made when he became Marlins general manager in . And he and Cabrera became the latest to receive their walking papers in yet another round of cost cutting. In return for the last two links to the World Series winning team the Marlins received six prospects. The bottom line in other words boiled down to dollars. He indicated the Marlins will remain economically challenged until they move into a stadium. We re never going to stop t! rying. Not one penny has come out of the team into Jeffrey Loria s po cket he said. Perhaps no one understands the situation better than Dave Dombrowski the Tigers president and general manager. But I ve been in their spot. It is not as if the Marlins are walking away empty however. Hours later Dombrowski agreed. Miami Herald sportswriter Barry Jackson contributed to this report.
