November 17, 20187 yr "any package for him should begin with at least one elite prospect and/or a young big leaguer Miami can control for the next half decade or so." and/or !? I think it's only "and".
November 17, 20187 yr "any package for him should begin with at least one elite prospect and/or a young big leaguer Miami can control for the next half decade or so." and/or !? I think it's only "and". The young big leaguer would need to be a guy like Acuna or that wouldn’t make sense.
November 17, 20187 yr Anyone see the "rumor" that the Marlins would take Puig or Bellinger for JT? Some people really have no clue how this stuff works.
November 17, 20187 yr Anyone see the "rumor" that the Marlins would take Puig or Bellinger for JT? Some people really have no clue how this stuff works. Every fan base has dumb fans. A Yankee fan suggested Austine Romine is on the same level as JT so he should be the primary guy going back to Miami, not Gary Sanchez as Sanchez is better. You read that right, he thinks Sanchez for JT straight up is unfair to the Yanks.

November 18, 20187 yr Anyone see the "rumor" that the Marlins would take Puig or Bellinger for JT? Some people really have no clue how this stuff works. I hadn’t seen this and then a friend texted that to me last night (marlins fan too). He pointed out that he and JT are the same age but I mean cmon. If we are moving JT we need all the return to be in the form of prospects Bellinger has some intrigue but I’d still want prospects in addition to him
November 18, 20187 yr People think every trade is like a video game trade where you have to equal each major leaguer with another major leaguer from the other team. It just doesn't always work that way and it definitely isn't what the Marlins are trying to do now.
November 18, 20187 yr If we are moving JT we need all the return to be in the form of prospects IDK, I'd much rather have the centerpiece be an established pre-arb guy. Bellinger for example is already a 4-win player at age 23 w/ 4 years of control left. That's extremely valuable. I'd take that over multiple Top 100 guys every time.
November 19, 20187 yr IDK, I'd much rather have the centerpiece be an established pre-arb guy. Bellinger for example is already a 4-win player at age 23 w/ 4 years of control left. That's extremely valuable. I'd take that over multiple Top 100 guys every time. I agree, I say take bellinger, two high ceiling pitching prospects that are 1-2 years away, and another low minors hitter. Realmuto is gonna walk in two years anyway, and bellinger is a verified stud at another premium position.
November 19, 20187 yr Plus he already hit for the cycle at marlins park so the adjustment would be easy...
November 19, 20187 yr Didn't know if this belonged in the offseason thread or this JT thread, but the Nats just signed Kurt Suzuki to a 2 year, $10M deal.
November 19, 20187 yr Didn't know if this belonged in the offseason thread or this JT thread, but the Nats just signed Kurt Suzuki to a 2 year, $10M deal. Braves need a catcher then at least start Flowers.

But it still needs to be Bellinger plus some players

Realmuto is gonna walk in two years anyway, and bellinger is a verified stud at another premium position. FWIW I think the chances of the Dodgers including Bellinger in any deal are pretty slim (even though I said that's the kind of centerpiece I'd want for JT). There's not really any precedent that I can think of for a pre-arb player of his caliber being traded. I think any trade involving him and JT would have to be a lot closer to 1 for 1 for the Dodgers to actually consider it. I'd be happy with a 1 for 1 swap because he's already shown elite offensive potential at the MLB level, but I realize many will want more in return.
November 20, 20187 yr Didn't know if this belonged in the offseason thread or this JT thread, but the Nats just signed Kurt Suzuki to a 2 year, $10M deal. Starting or backup, a 35 years old catcher may be a backup.
November 20, 20187 yr Starting or backup, a 35 years old catcher may be a backup. Starting catcher is the plan as of now.
November 20, 20187 yr A little surprised with that age. Age is only a factor if he isn't producing, Kurt Suzuki is still productive.
November 20, 20187 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1064678380946247680[/MEDIA] What would he said if Astros sends him to Miami ?
November 20, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, taiwanmarlin said: [MEDIA=twitter]1064678380946247680[/MEDIA] Oh now forget that guy. If he's gonna complain about being traded to a rebuilding team why would we want him?
