Even Marquis is losing interest in us?

From MLBTR MLB.com's Bill Ladson spoke with Marquis, who seemed very interested in pitching for the Nationals. Marquis indicated that he likes serving as a mentor for younger pitchers and wants to be part of a team that "making the moves that is necessary to get themselves back to being a winning organization." He pointed to several moves the Nationals have made that suggest they are that team.

When a guy who was saying he wanted to play for the Mets

has now decided the Nationals are a better decision, you know things are rough. I’m not really that high on Marquis, who’s coming off of a career season, but I found it kind of funny that he’d probably rather play for the Nats at this point.

Don't worry

we’re focused on Bay and Molina

with those two a rotation of Santana, Pelfrey, Ollie, Maine and ??? can go the distance

actually i'll bet the Mets secret plan is to go back to the old school 4 man rotation

just Santana, Pelf, Ollie, and Maine.

still two

to many.

The two man rotation would free up a lot of roster space for backup catchers

i see the logic in this

with ollie in a 5 man rotation

it is still a 4 man rotation

Asking a General Manager to slim down his budget is like asking an alcoholic to blow up a distillery.

actually with ollie in the rotation its a 3 man

he counts for -1 pitchers.

Marquis, slowly edging away from the Mets

and towards the Nationals…

This is unreal.

Wait, what good moves made by Nats?

Signing Ivan Rodriguez to a 2 year deal?

I still say (by which I mean pray)

Bryce Harper is gonna fall to us. I’m just waiting for him to demand a $100 million signing bonus, scaring off the smaller market teams in front of us. Of course, then the Wilpons won’t want to pay up and he’ll end up going to the Yankees.
