TaiwanMarlins Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The Marlins only have interest in bringing back Jeff Francoeur orChris Johnson if there’s an injury on the current roster. The two veterans haven’t generated much buzz this offseason, as Johnson has only been linked to the Marlins while Francoeur has at least received some interest from both Miami and Atlanta. It seems like the Marlins will go into Spring Training and possibly the season itself with just a four-man bench, something president of baseball operations Michael Hill calls “a calculated risk on our part. We’re comfortable with where we sit right now.” That said, Hill told Jackson and other reporters that the door wasn’t totally closed on another addition: “There are still players out there and that’s not to say we still may not do something before Opening Day.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaiwanMarlins Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Wood’s market has begun to generate more buzz in recent days, though the veteran southpaw has seen his name pop up in rumors for much of the winter. Besides the Yankees, Padres and Cubs, the Marlins and Blue Jays were also linked to Wood at different times this offseason, and either of those clubs still makes sense as one or both of the mystery teams pursuing the left-hander (though Miami has made a number of other pitching additions).

SilverBullet Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The Orioles announced this morning that they’ve signed veteran corner infielderChris Johnson to a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League Spring Training. Good. Didn't want him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishMan1997 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Wasn't a fan of Johnson. Like Dobbs, Helms, and Jeff Baker; he didn't produce enough last year as a corner infielder. Orioles AAA Norfolk manager is Ron Johnson, Chris' dad. That's the major reason he chose there. Johnson is making $9 million this year still with that awful contract.

Admin Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So now starting the bidding war for Francouer between Marlins and Braves. Minor league deal vs minor league deal! FWIW fish won't be signing him unless there's an injury and he is still out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Our roster is set. It would take a major injury to change the 63 guys we have going into camp right now and from there the 25 guys breaking camp in April are pretty much set too.
