November 23, 20187 yr Should the Marlins take a chance and maybe sign Matt Harvey to say a 1yr deal? Maybe.
November 23, 20187 yr D. SAMSON AINT HERE NO MO BOIIIii!!!!! He did trash the Marlins a couple weeks ago, remember?
November 23, 20187 yr Definitely. Best-case scenario, he pitches well and makes some nice trade bait at the deadline. Worst-case scenario, he sucks on a one-year deal. Very low-risk, high-reward.
November 23, 20187 yr Not at all unless he is interested in becoming a possible really good reliever. This year needs to be about evaluating the young starters we have that are ML ready now or will be at some point next year. We might not have a defined rotation moving forward, but we have a ton of options from the last couple years of trades that we need to see what we have this year before hopefully moving on with 5 guys in 2020. Just this year alone between guys we already have in the majors and those that will be ready at some point next year we have Urena, Chen, Straily (likely dealt though), Alcantara, Richards, Lopez, Caleb Smith, Neidert, Gallen, Merandy, Dugger, Yamamoto, Beggs. Not all of them will come up this year and there will obviously be struggles and injury, but we need to evaluate our own talent first and foremost. Im all for adding possible deadline candidates to flip for 1 year deals, but they should be for veteran bats and relievers.

If the market is the same as last year, you sign as many vets as possible and trade them at the deadline like Toronto did. First round picks and signing bonuses are in the millions. If you sign a few free agents, trade them at the deadline if they excel then you got some prospects. It's another way of stockpiling talent. Sign players and trade them, rebuild quicker by spending money and trading vets when the deadline comes. All you need is a few SP, a few hitters and a few relievers and you can possibly walk away with quality talent. Remember Ugy Urbina and Adrian Gonzalez. You take those deals if your close.

All you need is a few SP, a few hitters and a few relievers and you can possibly walk away with quality talent. Remember Ugy Urbina and Adrian Gonzalez. You take those deals if your close. You can do that at other positions like RP and for hitters. Evaluating our own talent and seeing what we have is more important than the possibility of a flip in the rotation. We simply have too many SP's we need to evaluate this year to do this. Maybe if there are a ton of injuries in spring training but not otherwise.
