Going to really put to bed some of those attendance jokes!

I expect Tampa to do the same cause Florida.

Gotta be one of the rule 5 guys that will be usurped. Though I do believe Hoyt is due for a regression, might as well stick with a known evil than someone who hasn’t even pitched in the majors

Jeremy Jeffress or Keone Kela

I'm still annoyed that the Marlins released Jesus TInoco last year.

He only pitched 5.0 innings, but didn't give up any runs or even any hits, yeah, maybe he gave up 3 BB and only had 3 K in those 5 innings, but still, he seemed like a decent, solid bullpen peice that the Marlins had, and they released him!

Every time Dugger came in to give up 4-5 runs, I always would shake my head about Tinoco getting released, especially with the performance of some of the guys from the bullpen last year. There is no guarentee that he would have been great, but still I would have liked to see how well he would have performed in a full season out of the bullpen.

 

Oh well, He is a Colorado Rockie now.

Does it have to be someone with the same letter to start both their first and last names or can it be someone else?

I can live with that lol At least you were actually a New Yorker with a family of real Yankee fans. I just can't stand the people who are bandwagon "Yankee Fans" just cause they have money and won a few championships.

Plus, i'm sure you know even the best yankee fans are insufferable tools so there's also that influencing my distain lol

Yes believe me I know "fake" Yankee fans everywhere and they're awful. Drives me nuts how many people around here who have been in Florida for decades yet they say they hate the Marlins because they're Yankee fans and many are not even from NY. I'm like, you know you live in Miami right? It's ok to be supportive of the local team as well as another team for other reasons. The annoying part is when their "other reasons" aren't even good ones.

Great.

Again, they're never done looking to upgrade. People gotta stop saying the roster is final. Even once the games and the season starts the roster is always open to upgrades. And if they thought they were getting Kintzler then it means they thought another reliever is needed so why would they not add one after Kintzler backed out?

I still wonder who is being cut from the roster for Duvall and this potential new reliever.

Also...

To be fair, Fish Army has been a beacon of negativity lately. 🙃 lol.

"According to its website, the WELL Health-Safety Rating focuses on operational policies, maintenance protocols and emergency plans to keep spaces clean and sanitized, provide essential health benefits and services, communicate health and safety efforts, help everyone prepare for an emergency as well as assess air and water quality in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the successful completion of third-party documentation review, Marlins Park would be awarded the WELL Health-Safety Rating, which would let everyone entering the facility know that evidence-based measures have been adopted and verified."

Basically by certifying the health and safety rating of Marlins Park they can open up quicker and get more people in more confidently and thus moving business along quicker than if they didn't. I'm glad the Marlins are going for this, good move.

Feels like he’s been one for quite awhile. 

Baseball just needs to start - I am done with this off season.

Which one is the best option available now ?

I am not sure but my preferred choice is David Robertson who apparently looked good at his showcase today. He knows Jeter which may help too.

Because now that Matt Joyce is gone, Marlins need some help in that department?
