August 22, 20206 yr D-Backs send: Starling Marte Marlins send: Caleb Smith Humberto Mejia Julio Frias -------------- Blue Jays send: Griffin Conine Marlins send: Jonathan Villar -------------- Restricted List sends: Isan Diaz Marlins send: Gratuity
August 22, 20206 yr Good. I'm confident they won't mortgage the future for this deadline either. Smart moves.
August 22, 20206 yr Barlow, Staumont, and Rosenthal having good seasons so far. I'd figure Rosenthal would draw the most interest. Watched Staumont last night, his pitches are filthy.

August 22, 20206 yr Hopefully the team waits til most, if not all COVID bullpen guys return before making any trades, but I guess this is kinda cutting it close. Eh ... I just hope we don't go overboard with trading prospects for relievers again.
August 22, 20206 yr The Fernando Rodney trade will always make me not want to trade for relievers or closers.
August 22, 20206 yr Staumont intrigues me cause if we grabbed him, he's under club control for a few years ... but, IDK. He's got a sinker averaging 98.7 mph, so that's fun. His curve drops down to low 80's ... You know if we can steal him for ... not much, why not?

August 22, 20206 yr I would trade an OF prospect for Staumont. Could be stupid but whatever, he looks like a cheat code right now. Hindsight is 20/20, but I kind of miss Nick Anderson right now. Maybe Jesus Sanchez will make us forget about him soon.

If you're wearing a Stanton or Sheffield jersey in 2020 I'd believe you telling me that you are actually a Marlins fan. If you are wearing a Pudge or Reyes jersey in 2020 that tells me you haven't watched a Marlins game since 2003 or you haven't visited Marlins Park since your neighbor invited you to a game in 2012.

But a bandwagon fan ONLY has that jersey because they got it that one time they went to a game or right before the new ballpark opened and they haven't actually followed the team since then.

If you’re still wearing a Reyes Marlins Jersey, you should go to the corner

August 22, 20206 yr Here's my thoughts right now ... Do we NEED to buy bullpen arms? Everyone has been reinstated, so here's who we'll have coming back soon: Sandy (starter so one person goes to bullpen) Caleb (starter so one more person goes to bullpen) Stanek Vesia Neidert Holloway Yimi Garcia Urena (yes I know) Brigham We've got A LOT of pitchers coming back SOON. Hoyt has been effective. Tarpley looked pretty good last time out (last night). Bleier is back and he looked good before injury. So ... do we ABSOLUTELY HAVE to go get bullpen arms? Can this not be a case of, "our best acquisitions will be the returns from the IL"? Our rotation soon will be Pablo, Sixto, Sandy, Caleb, Elieser. Mejia and Castano can either be optioned or go to the bullpen (Castano most likely to the alternate site and Mejia to bullpen). I don't know if we need to be buyers - don't sell, either, just kind of ... stand pat and let these guys return.
