It’s going to be Laureano 

 

 

 

Here's an idea.

Laureano and Tony Kemp - Something like Bleday/Burdick, Salas/Eder, Lewis, and maybe Fulton? Laureano has 3 years of control and Kemp 2. They are cheap payroll wise. This is painful with giving away 4 guys we like, but this is the preserve Watson/Eury/Cabrera/Meyer hypothetical trade idea. I think Oakland goes for it for radically upgraded 3rd and 4th players.

Sign Soler. Let's bash.

Sign Ryan Tepera and Daniel Duffy, for similar money to Kenley

Dump Aguilar and Bass for payroll savings.

Stallings, Fortes/Jackson
Cooper (Anderson plays here a bit)
Jazz 
Rojas, Wendle
Anderson (Wendle plays here a bit)
Sanchez, T. Kemp
Laureano
Garcia, DLC
Soler(DH)

Sandy, Rogers, Pablo, Hernandez, Luzardo
Floro, Bender, Tepera, Cabrera, Pop
Duffy, Bleier, Okert 

Duffy, Hernandez, and Cabrera are 100-120 IP pitchers thrown in waves. Effectively, they are 300+ innings over a SP and 2 RP spots which lines up. I know Duffy is a little banged up, but we're going upside and..... Sixto and Meyer are coming

 

This works

 

Edit - This works if you accept a 28 day circus in CF until Laureano is off suspension. I will accept that if it keeps the core top 4 prospects. Pray to god Sanchez/Garcia/Kemp can do it.

I still have hope too, but this situation is all too familiar...

Y'all remember that scene in 42 when Pee Wee Reese puts his arm around Jackie Robinson and says maybe today we'll all be 42?

@Admin you heard the man.

Also I think we do want an "Anderson Cooper" platoon at 1B. That would be fun.

Annoyance level rose today but I still have some hope left.

I seriously applaud you for having hope left.  It feels all-too-similar to the usual waiting around hoping they can get someone good for cheap while everyone else signs with other clubs and then they're just going to tell us they feel good going into this season with their prospects, etc so the other actual proven MLBers were never really on the radar.  I really REALLY hope I'm wrong but a lot of people are being scooped up now and this lack of....anything...well it's really irritating.

Did we really want Schwarber so badly or something? Seems like we were all good yesterday and today Schwarber signs and we're all going insane.

I think its just the continued trend of guys we're targeting or free agents in general going elsewhere (including divisional rivals) while we do squat.

Ok but Kyle Schwarber shouldn't have been the tipping point. He can't play CF for us.

Time to panic, right？

I think it's more of another + FA signed so the teams that were looking at him might start looking closer at some of the guys the Marlins are linked to and thus there will be more effort to sign some guys that we ARE interested in (supposedly)

I wonder if we're saying we're interested in those guys to get Atlanta to overspend on them. Hmmmm.

I don't know if the Marlins FO are on that level.

Not really seeing any trusted sources on Twitter right now posting about the possibility of a signing.... is that a sign to worry?

It's the fact that there is no "Marlins seriously pursuing X" report, while we are getting those reports out of other clubs. Not saying it's not happening, but we can't say it's happening either.

It's also watching division rivals get better. Our moves will essentially counter their moves, which means we aren't getting relatively better. We are just keeping up.

The saddest is, we can talk here all day long about what they can do but in the end of the day we're not Sherman or Ng. Just hope I have the chance to post the video of Peter Pratt dancing ……

If the FO does not get big name FAs, are there any major league ready Top Prospects worth trading pitching for? Especially CF prospects?

Mish is the only one baseball journalist who cares the Marlins, but even he silenced.
