A lot fewer times than shitty, unheralded prospects becoming great lol

the problem I have isn’t the fact that he was traded, it was the return. For gods sake what was the point of including the suk-go? Pointless to add a reliever during an obvious rebuild, he’s only on a two year contract so he won’t ven be here when their plan inevitably fails, he got ripped in spring and is getting ripped in the minors. Head is a complete wild card and the other dudes have never had any success in the minors.

It absolutely isn’t!

He will absolutely be gone by then. Bendix said this (Arraez) is the first of a series of difficult decisions the team will have to make cause of the bad start. There is no doubt in my mind they’re trading him

Guys I’m telling you as a guy who went from Marlins to Red Sox, it’s SO much easier than you guys think. As I’ve said I grew up in a house that rooted for The Braves (my dads team) the Red Sox (grandpa) and the Marlins (for no reason other than the hometown team) but the Marlins were the only team I TRULY cared for. At least until the new ownership that was supposed to save this team traded our entire team for what has become only Sandy and unfortunately Chisholm, as a return. Just pick a team, follow them the rest of this season and watch ALL their games, and by the end of the season you’re a fan believe me. I haven’t watched a Marlins game in years (even last year) but I watch every Red Sox game. They develop their prospects, the chips they get back in trades produce, they sign players when they need them, they have a plan that they actually execute and they always find a way to compete in the toughest division in baseball. It’s literally been like getting out of an abusive relationship and marrying a firefighter that loves me and the kids 😂

They did man…not even ONE top 5 prospect from their system. Why? They have a logjam of shortstops on that team, we couldn’t get ONE back? The prospects all look like shit.

The way you have to look at this is would you have traded Pablo for this “haul”? Absolutely not….pablo netted a batting title champion and some still didn’t like the return.

Why the fuck trade him for the same bullshit package of 5 crap prospects!? How many fucking times!? This guys is a bonafide all star level player that excels at his particular role on a team (elite level on base abilities) you can’t trade him for ONE can’t miss fucking player from a team that just happens to have an extra CF, or 1B, or Starter, or whatever fucjing need you’re trying to fill!? They weren’t gonna sign him I get that. But other teams trade a rental player and get back cornerstone players and it’s just never the case with this stupid ass team. No matter who is the fuckihg owner, GM, Assiant GM, concubine, janitor, etc!! Honestly what the fuck?

I’m done 100%. ban me

I’d say let’s see how he does once that scouting report makes its way around where guys start to lay off the slider that starts out of the zone and never ends up a strike and he isn’t facing a team as bad as the Rockies.

I mean at this point call up Banfield. He sucks too but maybe something clicks and he gets 6 hits 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good lord, this franchise sucks man. They sign and DEVELOP one of the top 5 right handed hitters in history and we couldn’t keep him around.

Just another sign that the culture in the dugout SUCKS and when you let someone like Jazz play that laid back swagger diva role, you can’t enforce against it from others and you get shit like that. I’ve coached travel ball for years and I can tell you that kind of shit for sure starts in the dugout. Even kids can understand the concept “I don’t need you to be perfect, but no one can out-hustle you” so either that instruction is not being put into their heads or these guys are the wrong fit for what they’re trying to do. Either way something has to give.

And worse, you know that they knew Bendix’s plan was to essentially tank this roster and tear it down cause it isn’t “his” vision before they officially hired him and they still didn’t capitalize.

Honestly I thought he should have been shipped out after last season so they can capitalize on any value he may have had. But I understood that, from an optics perspective, they couldn’t trade the “star” player they’ve been pushing and the name all the kids talk about after finally getting to the playoffs. But if they knew they were going to completely botch this season anyway they should have done it!
