Who Says There's No Time Clock in Baseball?

For the Marlins at least, every year it's comes down to the wire on whether they'll get that damned sales-tax rebate from the Florida Legislature. Again it's the last week of the session, and to make things more exciting the Sun-Sentinel renews hope that this year's proposals are not totally dead, with quotes such as "There are high-level negotiations going on,"..."In this process, I don't think it's over until it's over,"...."I think that a lot of things happen in the last days of session that no one can possibly imagine."..."I never say never."

Meanwhile, according to Ken Rosenthal, other teams may also be looking at that clock while licking their chops - he feels passage of the stadium bill increases the chances of a trade for Dontrelle, as "the Marlins no longer would fear the political ramifications of such a move."
