Marlins Acquire Fernando Rodney

Featured Replies

Also, consider that this is a good time to go for it.

 

Two of the Mets best pitchers have bone spurs in their elbow, Kershaw is on the DL, etc. Good time to try. 

 

 

I'm cool with this trade. Who was Chris Paddack a month ago? 

 

If you think the FO is blowing off an addition of an SP you're an idiot. They will get someone. 

 

But hopefully now Donnie will not push Chen, Koehler, whoever that extra inning because of the pen.

 

 

When the fish signed Guthrie and people bitched that this means no SP trade, I thought they were joking. Maybe they weren't. One move doesn't preclude another move.

 

Paddock was worth Rodney AND Pomeranz!

 

 

 

Yep

 

Not a Hall of Famer but a shot to have an ACE down the line.  Would be nice to have especially considering that Jose staying here long term is far from certain.  Probably even unlikely.  If this team were a reliever away from having a real shot at WS I wouldn't be so upset.  But unless you get 2 quality SP we aren't contenders.  Koehler should have been sent to the PEN and that would have negated the need for Rodney.  Then you go all in with 2 SP and we are in business.  Mike Hill can go fuck himself....  WITH A RAKE!

Yes.  That would have been a better trade.  Even if it was Paddack plus lesser prospects.

It's not what Rodney was worth (it's a fine trade on paper), it's context of the situation on what is needed. We have 0 prospects. We can't afford to give up someone like Paddack who's ceiling is really high. He's super polished for his age, throwing harder, etc. 

 

 

When we traded for Urbina - 

 

 

 

A lot of replies hating the deal. Ended up being an ok move? For the doubters, no, we don't win that WS without Urbina.

 

should i list our 2003 SP again?

I think we can give Paddack up because we have 0 prospects. Paddack isn't saving our franchise. At this point, the team needs to win now. The prospects they had are in the big leagues. There's nothing in the minor leagues so they have to do everything possible to win these next couple years. Every team has a window to compete, and ours is now. By the time Paddack is ready, Jose will be pitching for the Dodgers. We're waiting for that?

 

 

I'm sure San Diego tossed in 5 million considering the player they were getting back

 

OH SNAP [uSER=5078]@pollyvonwog[/uSER] is getting slayed!

I hear you but that's a pretty cynical way to look at this franchise lol

 

Paddack was the only SP's starts I actually looked forward too. Was going to see him when I'm down in WPB in July. Humbug
