We should go get that Brinson guy. If not, ill settle for Monte. 

 

If interest in Floro is high, go for it. Assuming a good return.

I was always told that if I'm gonna remain very active I should always use protection. 

I wonder if anyone has interest in Bass.

Really, what kind of reply do you expect?  Of course, the answer is "Bonefish Grill".  Such a straight man.

Only seafood I like is shrimp

I love shrimp but that's borderline not even seafood anymore considering how differently it's used compared to other seafood. It's like another form of chicken at this point.

Nationals selling off from the mlb roster way more than the Marlins are.

wasn't there another tweet someone posted on one of the 17 threads we having going that basically said all of the rumored CF's are not happening for the Marlins.  Who else is left as our "CF of the future"?  I get the excitement over the Marte deal but other than that it's been a pretty ho-hum non-exciting deadline compared to what Mish was saying was going to happen originally. I was hoping for some new bats that would actually make me tune in to some games the rest of the season. I have a hard time getting hyped over watching a pitcher, save for a very few in my lifetime.

This is my one issue with the approach. We already have the post hype CF prospects who's value is down. Unlike Luzardo, I have no confidence in this organization fixing a broken position player.

I'm sure plenty of fishermen and marine biologists do. What does this have to do with the baseball club?

Shrimp, the chicken of the sea!

He does this constantly, I have no idea how he became a moderator here.

Is Mish trying to hint at a big name in CF? Because the only name that makes sense would be Ketel Marte just due to history and actual trade ability for us. Who knows what the DBacks actually value him at too.

Completely agree. Also why I’m scared that this CF move might be for Jo Adell. He fits the mold of what they’ve looked for recently. 
 

We really need a Bryan Reynolds type. I would even settle for Brandon Marsh. Just go get someone with a big league approach

Mish ruled out Ketel Marte last night as well as Buxton and Mullens.

The one he did not completely rule out (although he said was highly unlikely) was Bryan Reynolds. He also said that Jo Adell is someone he thinks would make sense, but the Angels asking price would be too high. He did not get into Brandon Marsh much.

You can put up with a terrible batting average if the guy is at least walking to get on base. Since Duvall is doing neither, he is not worth as much as the metrics say he is. I say move him.

They should but won’t 

Get Luke Voit!

Ketel and Bryan Reynolds are 1 and 2 for me personally. I’d be willing to move Pablo + for either guy 

Bryan Reynolds is interesting. They could package Richard with him and add a closer as well. Get ready to jump into next year and get running right away.

It is all such a coin flip...but after Alfaro and Brinson...and Monte and Diaz...please try to give me someone that I trust in this lineup to replace the guy they just got rid of.

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. 

You weren't a fan of, "cash & a player to be named later?"

by kissing ass and whining  

Keibert Ruiz expected to go to Nats in a Scherzer / Trea deal...  I wonder if we coulda traded for Ruiz with some pitching prospects...
