Michael 2,115 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 ... I didn't know you could do that, actually. Does Pop then have to be on our MLB roster all season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SilverBullet 2,272 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hey @taiwanmarlin look the Marlins added both pop and bullpen help at the same time! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 2,272 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 55 minutes ago, Michael said: I know how this went down... Kim Ng called the DBacks asking if they could get back the HOF pitcher that Mike Hill traded to Arizona last year, in a hurry Kim just said "That pitcher, Zach something..." and the DBacks sent over Zach Pop instead of Zac Gallen. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 2,272 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 So, serious question now, in a deal like this, is this one of those prearranged trades where the Marlins told the Dbacks to draft Pop to complete this trade? Or did the Dbacks draft Pop without the Marlins knowledge and then the Marlins came calling for the trade? I'm pretty sure this is a Marlins-led draft pick that Arizona just facilitates for them to complete this trade. Not sure why Arizona would waste a draft pick here but we shall see.

SongInTheAir 395 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 So here's the best thing about this: he's good. Here's the second best thing about it: If he pitches well, we can say he gave the bullpen some pop. If he doesn't, we can call him Zach Poop. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and that’s probably the trade off for being able to have the option to keep the player down in the minors while they develop instead of being forced to use a roster spot on the Rule 5 guy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffreysfishfry 153 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I was hoping to see some of Taiwanmarlins takes in this thread. Hope our message board workhorse didn't gallop away for good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taiwanmarlin 363 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It's just ridiculous some people think the full of the 40-man roster would limit this team to further upgrade the roster, didn't they know the team could remove someone from the 40-man at any time ?
