FishFan95 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 I don't understand this move International scouting has been one of the organizational strengths. Can't fault them on Victor Victor Mesa who was coveted by the entire league. Makes you wonder if there was something going on beneath the seams. If it was performance based, then they will probably have to fire nearly the entire FO based on the enormous bar that they just set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMarlinsProject Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 We've signed several potential difference makers in the past few years. Part of the master plan was finding some big-time IFAs. Remains to be seen what happened/happens here. Right now it is a curious firing at best.

Craig Mish said on the Fish Stripes pregame stream that the timing of it makes him think that they have a guy in mind to replace him. Also considering they offered him a separate position, they were not completely dissatisfied in his work. But those are just Mish's hunches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Let's not jump the gun on this one. He wasn't flat out fired he's being reassigned. Fired implies you absolutely suck at your job so they want you out of there immediately. It's still possible that he did well but that they think a replacement could be better for the organization. How the story is presented sure can make a difference in how its perceived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought - include "Yankees" on your resume applying to the Marlins, and you got the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Maybe the Marlins can reassign Mattingly then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have a problem with him sticking around the organization and/or on the coach staff, as he does seem to be a good clubhouse guy, but he shouldn't be managing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
