Photo-Realistic Billy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Why? It's not our job. Let the Marlins get it done. I... I thought we were all secretly Marlins employees? Except for @Das Texan, who is transparently David Samson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 [MEDIA=twitter]1210966342033170436[/MEDIA] You see, these Mish tweets sometimes feel completely opposite of what everyone else is saying about the team. If this team is really gonna add either Puig or Dickerson and still adds even more offense beyond that I don't think any Marlins fan can really complain because these are significant upgrades for us. But it seems like we still gotta wait and see if this actually happens or not. The more Mish tweets these things out the more anxious I get for the answers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I hate you all. I think they are going to sign someone soon. Prove me right, Jeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I think the White Sox aren't much closer than us to being a contender, but they just do their best to try to win as many games as possible by signing those FAs. White Sox will at worst be the 2nd place team in that division right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Safe to say Puig won’t be happening with the news on Dickerson. He likely didn’t want to settle for a short deal or wanted more than they believed he was worth. Smart move to pivot to Dickerson if that’s the case though.

I was down with Puig coming here but there's a chance this was really the better move. I think either is a solid pick up for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Now I'm curious about the Mish tweet this morning saying they could still add after this move. Where else could they even realistically add offense to this team now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_gmac Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Indians are not better. I fins this offensive and racist coming from a texan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else could they even realistically add offense to this team now? Did he specifically say add offense? Cause they could definitely add a solid bullpen arm or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many many moves that could be made to improve the ballclub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many many moves that could be made to improve the ballclub. This is a common misunderstanding, but the records from the previous season do not carry over to the next year. While the Marlins may finish in last place in 2020, they will have to earn that right anew in the coming season. Not even Spring Training losses will count towards that effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many many moves that could be made to improve the ballclub. I know but after this move they would start eliminating guys who are supposedly penciled into the starting lineup like Rojas Anderson Alfaro Diaz etc. So realistically there aren't many other moves they could make that wouldn't dramatically affect that.

Admin Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 [MEDIA=twitter]1211047965294551040[/MEDIA] Yep, couldn't let Dickerson go elsewhere and wind up with no option left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh very very good sign there! Old front office sits on their butts and twiddles their thumbs then everyone else signs and they say "oh we tried." I like this more proactive approach. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 My prediction was that one would sign and then the Marlins would get desperate for the other and amp up their efforts then. Good to see they didn't wait for that desperation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaiwanMarlins Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 [MEDIA=twitter]1217934239443845121[/MEDIA] It won't surprise me if Puig has no choice but accept our 1year /8~10MM contract offer eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
