FishFan95 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, SilverBullet said: Alcantara or Leon? Well they want a new catcher to replace Alfaro. If that falls through, I am sure they will give Leon a lifetime contract. They might also try to lock up the other Sandy... But that's neither here nor there. Preferably the team would like to acquire another Sandy. Just like they are doing with Jesus. Always looking for a 3rd to complete the set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mish basically said that half of all teams have to rebuild their pen in one way or another every single year. Marlins will be no different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like the type of player who is perfect to jettison at the deadline and I don't see an urgency in keeping him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mish's gut was that he will stay after renegotiating the mutual option before the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda nice that being sellers doesn't mean "everything must go" like it used to for the Marlins. I'm loving this "sell while buying for the future" deadline approach that this FO has done a couple times now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk613 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I’d trade Duvall to be honest, he’d make a good 4th OF but should not be a full time starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t say great D, good maybe. Power comes in spurts and the low batting average is absolutely terrible.. again decent 4th OF for a contender but other then that he should not be starting other then a start here and there to relive the actually starting OFers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All (including mine) have been made after the trade. I ended up shipping a blank to Chicago and having EPS customize mine according to team specs. Also.... Piazza needs to coach for the Marlins. I need to update my jersey. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the dig at white guys here - in particular since that seems to be a large part of why Aguilar is so beloved. I think it's moreso he plays a better than expected defense and is their only legit big power guy so despite obp being something like .270 he sticks around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still hope they're not too attached to him to the point it would take some huge overpay to acquire him like they're stating with Miggy, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Duvall is doing neither, he is not worth as much as the metrics say he is. I say move him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's worth more than whatever it is they were offering. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
