The reason why people think the Marlins got a bad deal is because they simply did not get enough back for Uggla's 2011 season. Yes, he's only available for one more year until he becomes a free agent, but considering the Type A draft compensation and his likely performance in 2011, he was probably worth more than what they received. The big market teams weren't necessarily lining up because they didn't need Uggla, but there were a number of clubs who apparently were interested. Sure, this could have been the best offer, but if it was, why wouldn't the Marlins opt to just take the draft picks after 2011? Why pull a deal for a player and get little future value in return? Why instead take a deal that was decently BELOW market? Those are the questions Marlins fans want to know. MarlinsMaaku,

It might have been the best available , Remember Uggla has been on the trading block all year , and if he is the superstar he thinks he is. where were the big market teams and the teams in need of hitting..? No one wants to pay above market for a guy in his 30's, a choker and a statue on D. Can the Braves sign him..? or did they trade for a one year rental..? Why do people think the Marlins got a bad deal for Uggla..?
