January 17, 20206 yr I was thinking about the bullpen today and while they've done fine in acquiring potential options for the pen I think they still need to add one solid guaranteed bullpen piece and at least this shows they're still trying to do that.
January 18, 20206 yr I was thinking about the bullpen today and while they've done fine in acquiring potential options for the pen I think they still need to add one solid guaranteed bullpen piece and at least this shows they're still trying to do that. How about Brandon Kintzler.
January 20, 20206 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1219012440681336845[/MEDIA] So he won't choose the Marlins due to we're not as competitive as the others and would trade him in the deadline, right ?

January 20, 20206 yr Who knows? It's the thinking of Frisaro… [MEDIA=twitter]1217565962041462785[/MEDIA]
January 20, 20206 yr So he won't choose the Marlins due to we're not as competitive as the others and would trade him in the deadline, right ? You would think so but not necessarily. There are multiple factors involved and as I read someone say the other day you never know how many veteran players actually would look forward to being highly likely to be traded to a contender at the deadline. Not every player can land a big deal with a top contender. Sometimes being a veteran on a bad team with the intent to be deadline bait is actually an appealing idea. You also never know personal things with how the player feels about the teams. Maybe Strop likes living in Miami? Maybe his other offer is from, say Atlanta but maybe he doesn't like pitching off the mound in Atlanta? Maybe he has friends on our team or likes the coaching staff? Too many factors to consider, it's not always about going to a contender though I will admit that can be a huge factor it's not a foregone conclusion that that's what he will chose. And lastly we don't even know the other teams involved, maybe they aren't even contenders?
January 20, 20206 yr I knew this was coming, but I thought it'd be @SilverBullet I was gonna say "to play baseball."
January 20, 20206 yr So he won't choose the Marlins due to we're not as competitive as the others and would trade him in the deadline, right ? Miami is his best chance to be a closer again.The Brewers have Hader, and the Rangers have Leclerc. It would be in both Strop’s and Miami’s best interest if he regains his past form and racks up some saves in the process.
January 21, 20206 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1219462416767037441[/MEDIA] Did the "305" means Miami ? I don't know how the credibility of this guy because nobody else said something like this.
January 21, 20206 yr Did the "305" means Miami ? I don't know how the credibility of this guy because nobody else said something like this. Yeah, 305 is the Miami area code. Not sure who this guy is, but maybe he's legit?
January 21, 20206 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1219462416767037441[/MEDIA] Well it does not say he ends up with the Marlins. Maybe he is going to opt to play for the new Inter Miami CF?
January 21, 20206 yr Well it does not say he ends up with the Marlins. Maybe he is going to opt to play for the new Inter Miami CF? Or maybe he signs with an NL East team that visits Miami 3 times a season.
January 23, 20206 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1220179402027339783[/MEDIA] Fingers crossed … Is there a player you don’t want to sign?
