SilverBullet Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (Felt like this could be a new thread as most threads lately have gone 10 pages deep and branched off into other conversations...) Just a few tweets from Craig Mish and Jon Heyman setting up the next 8 days as the trade deadline nears...

Bazen Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Replace him as closer immediately! We can’t have a closer that allows a single run or blow any saves! Just not acceptable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 We can’t have a closer that allows a single run or blow any saves! Just not acceptable! yeah man he blew 4 saves this year, another closer would've blown 0 and we'd be in the playoffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Leo Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm surprised a player like Castro doesn't generate more interest. He has a 1.5 WAR, he's very solid and in his prime at 28. Fangraphs calculates his value as a FA at 12-13M per year, and he's making 10M with another year of control at 11. Solid pop for a middle infielder. Glad to see that Ziegler has lots of interest, thankfully he's been much better recently to rehab his value. Hopefully get a couple lottery ticket prospects. Dietrich on the other hand should've been getting 400-500 at bats a season since 2015. Glad Marlins finally saw the light that he's pretty damn solid. Instead we made the masterful move of trading for Martin Prado (the trade actually was fine). That 3year/40M extension after his first year with us was just so so bad. Now we're paying 13.5M for a .580 OPS and need to pay him 15M next year. But hey, he's a leader! Leadership! Intangibles man. Pay that man 15M for intangibles.

MarlinsLou Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It's pretty easy. Definitely move - Barraclough, Dietrich, Ziegler, Maybin, and Castro. First two are having great years for who they are so max out their value as they aren't in a longterm contending plan. Ziegler is part salary dump, part he's been good for the last 6+ weeks and get whatever. Maybin is whatever, clear some space for Dean/Ortega/Sierra/Cooper/Lee/Brinson(DL) and let the kids play. Castro is also part salary dump to get him off the books for next year, and probably get 2 half decent prospect lottery tickets. Rojas and Riddle can man the middle with Diaz primed for an early 2019 call up. Untradeable - Prado, Chen. Obviously eat all the monies to get rid of them Move if you get a beneficial package - Realmuto, Bour, Rojas, Straily, Urena, Conley. These guys value isn't changing between now and the winter when you figure out new contract statuses. No reason to move them without obvious replacements, but if you get a positive deal, sure go for it now. As to Realmuto, only entertain discussions if it is 100% determined he won't take a 4-5 year deal after this season. Don't move - Steckenrider. Is controlled for 5 seasons, this isn't worth it. They need to be keeping guys like this who can blossom into very high end relievers for a long time of control. I considered putting Conley here, but he hits arbitration next year and starts getting a little expensive versus only showing 2 good months as a reliever.

I know, but this is the forum. I always prefer to be over negative here. There is talk among dodgers fans that they get one of our three relievers.

SilverBullet Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 what are you 100 years old? I had ESPN before social media My point is there was a time when even ESPN had to wait to get their news. Everything wasn't reported so instantaneously.

The problem is the Marlins haven't gotten us a Chubbie since we got Carlos Lee and Carlos Zambrano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
