Well, maybe the club shouldn’t have traded everyone else that was good and then screwed around with trading him.
Mariano being the first unanimous guy just seems like an anti-climax. Very unsatisfying result and he's frankly not deserving of holding that distinction.
Very strange that it was a reliever of all things.
I would like to know who the no voters were on Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson and when I think of a comparable modern hitter, that guy, and understand the distinction here.

Mariano shouldnt have even got 1 vote. He never did anything on a legitimate team.

The complaints about Realmuto's situation have ONLY come from his representation or teams/fans of teams who want to trade for him. Those complaints are usually both self-serving and short-sighted.
Not only do the Marlins not owe him a trade, they don't owe him an explanation of their plans for the franchise either - and they certainly don't owe him a trade to the city of his choice. He's an employee, and a handsomely-paid one at that. He's going to make almost $6 million this year no matter where he plays and lives, and expecting anything more than that when you've publicly expressed that you don't want to have anything to do with the organization is ridiculous.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
I don't disagree, but just seems like they settled on who that guy would be. Granted, I don't see any world beaters coming down the pipe for the HOF in the short term, except Jeter, who is WILDLY overrated in his own right.... probably more so than Rivera, that could've been the one. It's sad when you look at guys in his general bWAR vicinity like Larry Walker, Schilling and Scott Rolen that are struggling to get votes and he'll be the next unanimous guy. Makes me sick.
They jumped on the price for JD when he agreed because he's actually been better than both Machado and Harper the past 5 years, even when missing nearly a full year. If healthy (and he looked pretty damn healthy to me with Cleveland and the physical came back fine) he could easily put up a better 2019 than either player at possibly close to half the price... so many of you are down playing just how good at baseball JD is. If he stays healthy, he will be a better overall player than Manny Hustle or Harper and will compete for NL MVP

Because even though he wants out he still shows up and puts 150% every day and plays his ass off. Pushing for a trade because you don't want to be somewhere is perfectly fine. And it's an agents job to seek his clients happiness... not wanting to be there and still putting up fantastic numbers and playing your ass off anyway is certainly a good soldier mentality... but clv gonna argue any dumb thing he wants to
