January 22, 20215 yr I don't think we're making enough mention that this isn't a one year, stop gap, pretend we're contending and then trade 'em for a prospect at the deadline, type of deal. Giving him two years with an option for a third is a clear sign that they're trying to solidify the bullpen for a longer period because the hope is to be contending the next several seasons. And if 2021 is, understandably, not a contending year then at least they have Bass in the pen for another run in '22 and possibly '23. Just saying that it could have been real easy to bring in relievers on one year deals only and they've avoided that.

Agree with all of it. and regarding contention, the 2010’s giants won multiple championships on the back of great pitching and mediocre hitting so we definitely have a chance to surprise!

We did the hard part of the rebuild; went from zero SP to making it an organization strength. Now we have to sure up the pen to make sure those good starts from young pitchers don’t go to waste

January 22, 20215 yr So who's locked up in the pen so far? How many more relievers do we need to be happy with the pen going into ST?

It could also mean that if we suck and he pitches well, we’d get more at the trade deadline since he’s not a stopgap.

January 22, 20215 yr @SonOfJack Really missed a great chance to name the thread "Fish signed A. Bass"

But it would be great if we have a lineup that much better than "mediocre ".
January 23, 20215 yr Maybe the Cubs just want to wait for the teams that lose out on Realmuto's bidding war to engage in the bidding war of Contreras, so they won't to accept the offer from us even it's a much fair offer.

Definitely lol I have a feeling they’ll sign one of Nick Markakis/Eddie Rosario/Ben Gamel/Adam Duvall and to a much lesser degree Puig and Céspedes since they both are coming off lost years so their value should be relatively low right now. Also, Contreras is still on the table 👀 Edited January 23, 20215 yr by marlinsmaniac

January 23, 20215 yr Pretty damn good signing for the Marlins. Add another couple of top relievers like this and that pen will be pretty fucking solid.
