So does this mean we aren't trying to acquire one?

I hope not. But that comment is kind of a buzzkill after the moves made today.

That tweet is out of context. She was asked who the next CF is and could it be from outside the organization or from within and she said it could be either but that possibilities from within the organization would include Monte, Mags, Brinson, and Burdick. 

Mish mentioned Burdick because he's the only one of the 4 who isn't in the majors and hasn't been yet. 

The question was pretty much just "who can play CF in the organization".

Craig Mish is doing a twitter spaces right now. He just said the Marlins will NOT be in on Mullins, Buxton, or Ketel Marte. I repeat they will not be getting either of those three this deadline.

Trading for Buxton would have been a stupid idiotic move anyway.

Mish also said that the Marlins are weighing their options with Duvall. His gut says that the Marlins retain him for at least 1 year. Perhaps with a renegotiated mutual option before the end of the season.

When asked about Reynolds, he says very unlikely. Suggests that Marlins could target a post hype top prospect that has seen their value dip recently, similar to Luzardo.

 

So the huge exciting moves were adding a pitcher? What happened to acquiring our future CF and C or maybe both lol

Mish says that the thing he is most certain about is that the starting catcher for the Marlins next year will be someone who is not in the organization right now. Whether that is a deadline acquisition, or FA, whatever, they are moving on from Alfaro.

Bleier, Thompson/Poteet, and Nicolas/Eder/McCambley for Angels' CF Brandon Marsh.

They need pitching.

Who says no??

No way that was it. With that said, there's still no guarantee this gets done by Friday. Could even happen in the offseason.

Read this 4 times and I'm not even sure what this means. They're not sure if they'll trade him or they now realize he's worth trading and they've suddenly got less than 2 days to do it? Or is another attempt at ab extension possible? Very unclear tweet.

Marsh was asked about. Mish has not heard that name discussed. At the same time, he did not find out that Oakland was in on Marte until about 30 minutes before he broke the story. He did say the Angels would be a good match as they need pitching.

They apparently gave him lowball offer that everyone knew he would reject just to get the ball rolling. They were going planning to up the offer, but decided that they will see if his trade market develops. They will give it until the deadline. If no one wows them, then they will keep him and then continue negotiating.

Also, Ng made it clear that the 2022 roster is unfinished, what they've got now is not what will be there in 2022, they're not done making moves. 

Complete Mish notes:

Mish really gave the impression that major pieces in the big leagues (except bullpen) are unlikely to go at the deadline unless the other team wows them. Aguilar is a maybe (most likely not) trade candidate. Duvall is probably 50-50. Pablo and Cooper might get traded, but they will wait until the offseason when they are healthy. No momentum on BA extension. Maybe early talks on Sandy extension. They want a new catcher (mentioned Travis d'Arnaud as FA target) and a post hype prospect that is MLB ready for CF. Someone who's value is down. A lot like Luzardo. (So no Mullens, Buxton, Ketel etc.)  They don't want to trade with the division. They really don't want to trade with the Braves.

And the operative word is 2022. They might make their moves in the offseason rather than deadline. They aren't gonna force anything.

Alcantara or Leon? 

The primary focus is catcher and CF but nobody has mentioned that they'll once again have to rebuild the bullpen for 2022 as well.
