TaiwanMarlins Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 A digression, what happened to Ken Rosenthal ? He didn't tweet anything in two days when many baseball moves were happening, it's just unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say vacation considering its New Years week but I can't remember him ever going days without a tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rydawg Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm probably in the minority here but I want the Marlins to stand pat. We have a glut of hitting prospects that we need to sort out. Harrison, Chisholm, L Diaz and Sanchez are probably not going to get many ABs this year with Dickerson, Cooper, Aguilar, Ramirez, and even Berti taking up most of the ABs. Not to mention that we have another wave of hitters not too far off either in Bleday, Scott, Burdick, Misner and Salas. Let's find out who's the real deal before we start adding any more free agents. The only exception in my opinion should be a proven closer or a experienced late inning arm to protect wins for our young pitchers. Trades for young proven controllable players like Wilson Contreras are a different story of course. I'm always open to improving our young talent. Just my two cents. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then dont bitch when the Marlins fail to make the playoffs or have depressed attendance when thats allowed at some point in 2021. Just saying. Marlins should be all in trying to acquire a catcher though. They also need an outfielder who doesnt suck. Cant wait fora Bleday to arrive. The entire outfield is a dumpster fire the likes of my Cardinals. Maybe a competent GM in Kim Ng will do what the St. Louis management has failed to even acknowledge is an issue in 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why they should be all in trying to trade from their surplus to acquire a catcher NOW instead of later. They should be all in on the fire sale thats the Chicago Cubs to get Contreras on the cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlinsmaniac Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I was in the camp of signing Mccann but since he’s gone I think the marlins should definitely be going for Contreras. And sign Rosario and some bullpen arms for gods sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're barking up the wrong tree about the bitching. I was against the rebuild initially but now that we're here let's finish it the right way without shortcuts is all I'm saying. Also, I did say was in favor of trades and I mentioned Contreras specifically. I just don't want the Dickerson or Joyce type of stop gaps anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaiwanMarlins Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Bottom line, improve the team, signing or trading, just improve the team, fans would showing if you give them a team that worth their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaiwanMarlins Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 What annoying me the most was almost there is no any rumor about this team, it's two months into the off-season already and besides what Ng said about the bullpen staff then there is nothing about who this team targeting in the social media. I know until something happens rumors are just rumors but at least it would gives you something to hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the reason is that it's unclear when the season is going to start. I don't believe ST will start on time. If the Marlins are serious about bullpen help, Brad Hand is probably the best cost-effective option out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Brad Hand would be a nice get but he will have enough suitors that I think his price tag will go up and the Marlins could probably get multiple pieces for whatever Hand will cost.
