October 1, 20187 yr Maybe one day just maybe they will understand that we weren’t gonna win with those guys. Just maybe.
October 1, 20187 yr Maybe one day just maybe they will understand that we weren’t gonna win with those guys. Just maybe. I love when people reply "But how do you know?" Cause we already saw that team together, it didn't win. Talented players, not a winning group. So they say "Could have signed a couple of arms and been WS favorites!" You ask "Sign who?" Silence.
October 1, 20187 yr He's absolutely right. Basically, going into November, everything looked potentially amazing. Potentially. Ignore that we knew there was a 98% chance we were trading people. Fast forward to now, and, yeah. He's right.

Ignore that we knew there was a 98% chance we were trading people. Fast forward to now, and, yeah. He's right. It's a twisted vision to say everything was amazing then. Yeah we had a 77 win season then and a 63 win season now but besides the win totals it can be argued we're better off now than then as an organization. I think if we had kept the 2017 team then we would have just traded Stanton Gordon Yelich and Ozuna this offseason and then 2019 would have been rock bottom. All Derek Jeter did "wrong", to me, was start the rebuild one year earlier. And in the long run that might prove to have been the right move.

I'm with you, don't get me wrong - just, in the mind's eye, things "looked" great. Specifically because of new ownership. But, here we are. ?

Probably wouldn't have been too far off last year's total had we blown a few less saves too.

Let's assume that the Stanton, Yelich, and Ozuna trades were equal and fair for both teams at the time, when taking their salaries into account of course. Yelich GREATLY improved and the and the Milwaukee prospects GREATLY regressed. Stanton slightly regressed and his prospects are still meh (and Castro has no value). Ozuna regressed but the top two prospects, especially Sierra, were not very good.We've lost all three trades so far, and none of us would make these trades again if we knew what we know now. Any progress the organization has made has been independent of the trades we've made.

I think what people fail to understand is that the Marlins simply do not have the capital to build a winner just like that. We have had PLENTY of teams with a lot of talent, but because we have just never had the revenue, we haven't been able to get over the hump. Think about this for a second: up until last year, a legitimate argument can be made that we had a top five talent in all of baseball dating all the way back to the Miguel Cabrera years. First, Cabrera. Then, Hanley. Then, Stanton. We also had guys like Josh Johnson, Jose, Yelich, Ozuna, etc. sprinkled in. That's great, and if we had the kind of money the Yankees or Red Sox have, you better believe we probably would have built a winner. But we don't. The Marlins basically HAVE to get lucky in absolutely nailing drafts/international prospects/trades in order to win, i.e. the 2015 Royals or the Astros that we are currently watching. Heck, even the Yankees--as spendthrift as they are--have done a TREMENDOUS job of building their team through scouting, superb drafting and shrewd trading. Sans Big G, most of that team is homegrown. So, yeah. It's easy to say, "The Marlins had Stanton, Yelich and Ozuna and they let it all go!!!" but if you do, you're either not comprehending the specifics or you are actively choosing to ignore them to try and make a point. Hopefully, Jeter and Co. can start identifying talent and begin to stockpile it so we can build a winner for the long haul.
October 1, 20187 yr Author Sans Big G, most of that team is homegrown. Stanton counts as a homegrown Yankee though since he was acquired due to a secret conspiracy deal between Cashman and homegrown Yankee Derek Jeter. Jeter being the mastermind behind that deal makes Stanton count as a homegrown Yankee.

October 1, 20187 yr Author Whoa this really happened? According to social media when the deal went down yes it did. And really, when has social media ever been wrong?
October 1, 20187 yr And really, when has social media ever been wrong? Very often, I wonder who you follow because how can you not be aware of that?

October 1, 20187 yr Author Very often, I wonder who you follow because how can you not be aware of that? I only follow Joe Frisaro. That guy is never wrong and always right.
October 1, 20187 yr I only follow Joe Frisaro. That guy is never wrong and always right. What kind of psychopath only follows one person and it is a Marlins beat writer?
