Michael Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Normal for this time of year at least. And we were one of if not the last team to do something of this sort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 So long to the great Justin Twine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinsmaniac Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Justin Twine?! Are you fucking kidding me?! Derek Jeter has no idea how to run a major league team! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbanCastillo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Getting rid of Andrew Miller twice now...is it Jeter's fault, or does this one still fall on Loria? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Let's not overlook the fact that Jeter let go of Lebron too. I know he's not a baseball player but might as well give him a chance and at worst he brings great publicity to the Marlins. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I watch the minor leaguers on a regular basis, well at least the three teams playing in Florida, the ones on the list I had heard of hadn't impressed me much, good news there will be a new crop of farm players soon enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an enigma that dude, has pretty elite level k/9 but walks almost as many hitters as he strikes out (over 20BB/9 in lincoln last season!!!). I feel bad for the guy, it must be incredibly frustrating that all that's holding him back is he can't throw strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'm pretty sure that a group like this and probably even more players get released through the course of a normal season and the only reason this seems newsworthy is because they were released in one big chunk in the midst of a pandemic while no games were going on. Bottom line, there's more player turnover in every organization every year than people realize and no one bats an eye at these cuts any other year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we were one of the last teams to do it, which would go against normal perception/narratives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo-Realistic Billy Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 There are indeed a few names to note on this list. The aforementioned Twine, who was built like a turret gun, but listed as a second baseman (unfortunately, he never showed much game power). And there's McKenzie Mills, who is the guy we traded for in the Bour trade (though scuttlebutt is they were looking to get rid of Bour more than anything). Beggs is noteworthy for his presence in MLB The Show this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Hall of Famer released with a tweet -- shameful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
