December 20, 20178 yr Yes! Now just get that #2 starter and we'll be World champions in 2018! You happy now @taiwanmarlin?
December 20, 20178 yr Is this a major league deal? If it is, this is why we can't exactly predict the 2018 roster yet because I expect several more signings like this... stop gap guys signed to fill roster spots, eat innings, take at bats, and, best case scenario, become trade bait down the line. The Braves have done this quite a bit the last few seasons successfully. Could be wise here too.
December 20, 20178 yr Yes, the braves have done this but not successfully. Last 3 years have been 67,68 and 72 wins. What it would do is just keep us looking like a low rung major league team instead of a minor league team masquerading as major league. But this did result in bringing back Fredi.
December 20, 20178 yr Yes, the braves have done this but not successfully. I didn't mean success as in leading to more on-field wins. I meant in signing cheap veterans to fill gaps and then trading them for even a small return down the line. The Marlins probably would be wise to do this here and there as well. edit: I may be wrong thinking it was the Braves doing this, off the top of my head I remembered them signing Bartolo Colon and RA Dickey as stop gaps but then I remembered neither of them were traded away. But in general there are many times when rebuilding teams sign stop gap guys to eventually trade them away)
December 20, 20178 yr Holy cow Turner is only 26!? Didn't realize just how young he was when he was here.
December 20, 20178 yr Reminder that Turner came to us as the main piece of a salary dump - Aníbal Sanchez and Omar Infante to the Tigers. Of course, Aníbal came here in the Beckett/Lowell salary dump. As Elton John would say, it’s the circle of life
December 20, 20178 yr Holy cow Turner is only 26!? Didn't realize just how young he was when he was here. And he still throws 96. Too bad he can't figure it out.

December 20, 20178 yr It's not funny at all You wanted them to add pitching and didn't say anyone specific so this is who they could get... still thinking adding pitching is the right way to go?
December 20, 20178 yr Whoever doesn't like this move I say blame the lady crying at the town hall meeting. She seems like a great person to blame from now on.

December 20, 20178 yr Bring back Solano next. He's a FA. Robert Andino is next. Solano should wait for his turn.
December 20, 20178 yr You wanted them to add pitching and didn't say anyone specific so this is who they could get... still thinking adding pitching is the right way to go? Are you kidding me !? I said thousand times we need Lynn,Darvish and Arrieta…but you guys always said it's 100% wrong to sign top tier FA SP,so what ever.
