It's the Marlins job.

It will be available again in less than 6 months.

The F is right next to the G and my hands are always leathery and callused this time of year. Good thing is wifey doesn't beg for back rubs.

Status: offline 		Here’s a schedule of the most important dates facing front offices this winter…

Nov. 2: First day of an exclusive five-day negotiation window which all teams have with their free-agent-eligible players.
Nov. 6: Final day for teams to extend qualifying offers to free agents. Qualifying offers must be submitted by 5pm ET.
Nov. 7: Players become eligible to sign with any team.
Nov. 13: Deadline for players to accept or reject qualifying offers. Players must formally make their decision by 5pm ET.
Nov. 9-12: GM Meetings are held in Florida. While not as active as December’s Winter Meetings, the groundwork for many trades and free-agent signings will take place here, and a few moves figure to be completed.
Dec. 2: Deadline for teams to decide whether or not to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players. The free agent market should expand to some degree on this day, albeit with relatively minor names.
Dec. 7-10: Winter Meetings in Nashville. These four days are among the most chaotic of the year for those who follow trades and free agency — often even more so than the days leading up to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. MLBTR will be providing 24-hour, around-the-clock coverage while the Winter Meetings are in effect. It should be noted that the Rule 5 Draft will be held on the final day of the Winter Meetings.

Pedestrian overall numbers, better after a horrible start,then punctuated by a horrible playoff start.

As had been expected, the Phillies have declined their club option on lefty Cliff Lee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports on Twitter. The veteran will receive a $12.5MM buyout on the option, which was valued at $27.5MM.
