trade for Cueto anyone? I think he's a FA after next year.

 

 

Brandon McCarthy

 

 

Without pitching a single inning this year? I don't know about that.

 

 

 

Didn't JJ get an option with the Padres? Or something?

Yes and they declined it.

Wasn't it a really cheap option just in case he had gotten injured?

Interesting nugget pointed out by Rosenthal on mlb network -- Jennings drafted shields back in TB

The only interesting nugget to shields is who pays the most years & $$$$$

 

 

 

LMAO, I swear to god I was thinking of former Angels reliver Scot Shields for some reason....HAHAHAHAHahahaha

 

 

Go get this man.

 

 

I hate 4 years for 32 year old pitchers.

 

How is Cole Hamels deal? He would dominate in Miami.

If I'm going to have to overpay a pitcher on a long term deal, I'd rather not have to give up assets.

 

And that's also tough to do with the Shields deal, because I don't want to give up the 12th pick we would have to give up to get it done.

 

Would we still have to give up a pick for Lester?

$23.5m through 2018 w/ a 2019 option. Its a good deal but the phillies are notorousily stingy (they want one dollar for every 50 cents) traders so good luck getting him without giving up EVERYONE

 

 

once a Phillie always a Phillie. keep that jerkass outta here

 

 

i'd absolutely go get Shields.

 

 

I guess Samardzija could be available if the Marlins are interested in dealin...

 

 

I wouldn't deal for smardizja. Unless I remember wrong,advanced metrics say it's all smoke amd mirrors. I would deal for a young controllable infielder

IDK everything trended positively metrics wise for him. He'd probably be quite expensive prospect wise of course

 

 

Loving all the post-Stanton optimism.

 

This is still the Marlins. What's Mark Hendrickson up to these days?

Hitting his head on door frames, probably.

 

 

He's playing pick-up basketball

 

 

Absolutely go after the guy. 4 years is not a bad deal.

 

Cosart and Alvarez are great, but Eovaldi is not going to develop into anything better than a 5th starter. The rest of the guys from last year aren't a solution. Consider trading them or keeping them in AAA for seasoning.

Much more likely: Meanwhile, the Marlins have expressed interest in several free agent pitchers, including right-handers Jason Hammel (10-11, 3.47 ERA for the Cubs and Oakland last season) and Justin Masterson, who battled injuries and was 7-9 with a 5.88 ERA for Cleveland and St. Louis last season but was much better in 2013 for Cleveland (14-10, 3.45).

 

The Marlins also have interest in Arizona left-hander Wade Miley (8-12, 4.34) if the Diamondbacks trade him.

I could live with 2 of those 3.

Hoping Miley wouldn't cost too much in terms of a return.

Hammel and Masterson are both risks, but one is buying high and the other low. I'd be fine with Masterson in Marlins Park.
