June 30, 201610 yr Single A Prospect in return. Not sure who. This actually hurts my fantasy team because it appears that Rodney will not be closer.
June 30, 201610 yr I'm pretty surprised by this move. Who is your closer, Rodney or AJ? And isn't there a bigger priority to address, namely SP?
June 30, 201610 yr BTW, that team option for only 2 mil in 2017 is definitely a big part of this trade. That's a good contract to acquire.
June 30, 201610 yr I'm pretty surprised by this move. Who is your closer, Rodney or AJ? And isn't there a bigger priority to address, namely SP? Its not one or the other, they can do both
June 30, 201610 yr This actually hurts my fantasy team because it appears that Rodney will not be closer. Nobody knows that yet, just speculation
June 30, 201610 yr Author Nobody knows that yet, just speculation Barry Jackson said but I guess we are not certain.
June 30, 201610 yr Barry Jackson said but I guess we are not certain. I would think Ramos keeps his gig too but its up to Don to decide
June 30, 201610 yr Marlins basically saying they won't add a significant starter by making this move?
June 30, 201610 yr So far I like this. He's not pricey, his stats are phenomenal, that club option is money in the bank, strengthens our pen. Good problem to have having two closers now. Gotta see who the prospect is but loving this so far.
June 30, 201610 yr Marlins basically saying they won't add a significant starter by making this move? Not at all. Still a month until the trade deadline and we're buyers. I wholeheartedly expect more moves.
June 30, 201610 yr Ramos is better than Rodney whose walks are still a little troubling. I am just curious how they slot them. Maybe Phelps 7, Rodney 8, Ramos 9 Bearclaw comes in the 6th when Conley, TK or Nicolino can't barely make it past 5 innings.
June 30, 201610 yr Reminiscent of trading Gonzalez for Urbina in 2003 Because Urbina and Rodney are both Dominican? You racist bastard.
June 30, 201610 yr Also, Dodgers get Bud Norris and you gotta believe that is because of Kershaw going on DL.
June 30, 201610 yr Because Urbina and Rodney are both Dominican? You racist bastard. Please use parentheses.
June 30, 201610 yr Also, Dodgers get Bud Norris and you gotta believe that is because of Kershaw going on DL. Barely will notice that swap
June 30, 201610 yr Honestly, it makes more sense to put AJ as a setup where he's more capable of going more than 1 inning if needed. It would just be a rare move and I guess unfair to AJ who's done good for this team.
June 30, 201610 yr OK GUYS and @canada-marlin24 who is the odd man out of the bullpen now? Ellington or Dunn?
June 30, 201610 yr Honestly, it makes more sense to put AJ as a setup where he's more capable of going more than 1 inning if needed. It would just be a rare move and I guess unfair to AJ who's done good for this team. It reminds me of the Nats demoting Storen for Papelbon
