I agree that there is a risk based around the Marlins' history, but realistically - how many teams would be prepared to take that kind of salary on via a trade and give up the prospects/picks to acquire such players as Reyes/Bell/Buehrle (the last two to a less extent). Even if you trade the two arms you just signed, you still have Reyes, Pujols, Ramirez, Morrison, Stanton... that is still a really good hitting club regardless of their staff.
