FishFan95 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Also, the Miami Herald is reporting that Mack and Morrissette will likely sign this week, so we will have a really good idea as to how much will be available for Watson. https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miami-marlins/article252875053.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go over 5%, then they will lose next year's 1st round pick. They will not do this. my bad. I was going by rouge memory. oopsie. Watson will be signed. Guaranteed. Perdue and Morissette probably go for under slot, they will probably gain a few bucks especially with Morissette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that, like Watson he could be the potential pick that puts them over the budget. I’m no expert, but as @FishFan95 said, we still have that 5% at the risk of losing a first rounder next year. However, I don’t think that’s an option. I would rather lose Mack’s (2.4M) if he wants a premium based on his HS leverage. Sign Watson and get a compensation pick for Mack next year as well?? Hopefully, Watson doesn’t flip flop on his 5M asking price either. I think it’s imperative that they sign Watson with how the FO has done us dirty this year.

They need both cause sorry catching depth is pathetic in this organization and overall in baseball..I believe they can sign them both and honestly I could careless bout other picks as long as Mac and Watson are signed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get Mack at somewhere between slot value and 5% over it actually would be better than not signing him in terms of getting Watson. Failing to sign him would drop the total that they can spend without losing a 1st rounder by $120 K more than his value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlins_09 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Not worried about losing out on a couple of later draft picks in order to sign the big 3. Get Watson, Mack and Morisette done and then figure out the rest from there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_gmac Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 so far only Brady Allen (5th Rnd pick) has signed closed to slot value, the rest has signed under slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroFishOne Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I absolutely hate the way MLB does drafting and player controlled years. The NHL system is so much better for both the players and the owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I still believe they'll sign Watson, I can't imagine they'd be dumb enough to pick him without a plan. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
