January 29, 20197 yr I'd push for Mejia + Paddack. Don't know if San Diego would do that though, especially without the window.
January 29, 20197 yr Trammell plus India is what I'd want from Cincy. I think Trammell would be the "easiest" of those top 3 to get, if they trade any of them. Again they may not be willing without a window.
January 29, 20197 yr Barnhardt is a far superior defender. Its about cost per dollar spent basically. Do you allocate your dollars elsewhere within your budget? Basically is the added offensive numbers worth the far superior long term price tag, primarily in any possible extension signed, you figure 8 mil or so arby next year and then who knows what after. Barnhardt is at 4 mil AAV. So its really down to dollars and cents. lol Far superior defensively? JT is the best all around catcher for a reason. 1) Statcast the past four years has proven he's the fastest, as he led that category the past 4 seasons. 2) JT has the best pop time in the league because he has the 3rd strongest arm and the 3rd fastest exchange rate. 3) Those things allow JT to have one of the best caught stealing percentages in the league 4) JT has improved his power every year and he's been hitting the ball better every year. 5) JT's last 4 years Def rating according to fangraphs - 8.8 / 10.3 / 12.6 / 7.9 = 9.9 AVG meanwhile Barnhart 5.9 / 11 / 14.9 / 5.5 = 9.325 AVG So yeah, not only is JT, FAR superior with the bat, he's actually faster, stronger arm, better pop time, better defensively and he's better at framing (he's average at it but Barnhart is awful at it) https://www.mlb.com/news/jt-realmuto-may-be-mlbs-best-catcher/c-282201118 https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=10200&position=C https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=11739&position=C https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/sortable/index.php?cid=1918718 Since I took you to school, here are my sources. The MLB article is by far the most interesting. And last by not least, you don't get better and build for the future by trading away the best catcher in baseball and letting the team get value out of an OK 28 year old catcher who isn't getting better and won't be part of this team long-term.

January 29, 20197 yr http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2018?list=sd Hmm ... we should try to get those kids Paddack and Naylor!
January 29, 20197 yr It's a big show for Mike Hill and I believe he won't screw it up. A really big shoe.... [ATTACH]2661._xfImport[/ATTACH]
January 29, 20197 yr Didn't get enough sleep last night? I remember my dream which is rare and it ties into that. This is really what I remember. I had a dream where I was having trouble falling asleep so in my dream I was thinking "Oh no I am going to get no sleep and be tired all day tomorrow" but I actually was sleeping and that was just my dream. I wonder what it means.
January 29, 20197 yr Move on from the Reds, they are trying to get a sale item. Chris Sale? He's on the Red Sox.
January 29, 20197 yr The only negative from having so many teams interested, is that our top guys that will decide on it, have to focus on one deal at a time and can't be having serious negotiations with multiple teams at the same time. It's a process, teams probably have time slots or appointments and hence it's taking so long. And also since there are so many teams involved Marlins continuously will wait to see if the other team will beat it. Really wish this would resolve itself soon however. And I can't help but think that teams just don't take us seriously because we're the Marlins and the optics of giving the Marlins a top 20-30 prospect for a guy that isn't a household name could blow up in their faces if JT somehow gets hurt or if the top prospect we get in return turns into a star a Stanton or Jose Fernandez type player for us. Or maybe the Marlins are butt-hurt after the Yelich deal and really are asking for an insane amount, like Trammel, India, another top 7-15 pitcher and OF and barnhart. Who knows really. Really hoping for a deal this week. Gotta feel like teams are tired of this, just like they are of Machado and Harper.
January 29, 20197 yr there's a strong rumor that Harper will make a decision today, so this will speed up any JT talks
January 29, 20197 yr Mish is the best at replying to fans. It's true, I even have no enough time to read all that.
