Bret Hart Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 2020 : 3M 2021 : 4M club option or 250K buyout So, it's a 3.25M guaranteed contract for 1 year. Not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Hart Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 35-year-old veteran, had some closing exp as well as 1x all star. Not a huge strikeout induced reliever but it's smart movement both FO and the player. He has been looking for rebounding place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 This guy was amazing when he was second baseman for the Rangers all those years. Surprised he's trying to be a pitcher now but oh well whatever it takes to revive his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Good signing, he got a lot less than I thought he would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanofthefish Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 So who comes off the 40? I not sure they need Wallach with Alfaro and Cervelli, maybe Conley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 So who comes off the 40? I not sure they need Wallach with Alfaro and Cervelli, maybe Conley? They still need Wallach and they claim they aren't giving up on Conley yet. What team can go without a possible third catcher especially with Cervellis injury history?

fanofthefish Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 They can find a catcher at the end of spring training after all the cuts have been made and store him in AAA if needed, pretty much why they have Lavarnway there now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Maybe Dugger gets the DFA for the 40-man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Maybe Dugger gets the DFA for the 40-man? He really shouldn't, if any of the rotation candidates get injured Dugger is next in line. We're kinda thin on rotation options that are actually ready for the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I guess we will find out soon, the Kintzler signing should be official one day this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Kintzler is great against lefties, which we won't see because Mattingly will use him mostly against righties. Because stats don't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 the Kintzler signing should be official one day this week. For just one day? So when it becomes official then the next day it won't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlins_09 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 For just one day? So when it becomes official then the next day it won't? He’ll get traded for some kid in rookie ball #CheapJeter /s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you’re trying to say, but they didn’t overpay for Kintzler. They paid him market value. I believe what you’re trying to say is they didn’t simply settle for the cheaper option. They went and got the guy they thought was a better fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Kintzler had other options and the Marlins overpaid him to make sure he comes here. You're probably right but that scenario crossed my mind too.

SongInTheAir Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Kintzler and Strop are very different pitchers. Having both in the bullpen would have been nice, but if we had to pick one, I'm glad it was Kintzler. I just hope Mattingly uses him correctly (he won't).
