He’s got a lot of insider/illegal trading to do to cover those contracts

Chris Taylor and Garcia...exactly as expected.

Does this make this team a contender?

If they get a good catcher and guys stay healthy then yes. Big ifs though.

I could be misreading you here, but are you seriously comparing Christian Yelich to Adam freaking Duvall? If so, then I don't know what to tell you.

No that would be an invalid characterization of my point. 

I was pointing out the arguments and I was comparing the infighting and finger pointing to the continuous infighting and finger pointing between Marlinsbaseball.com members after the last misstep season made by a Marlins management team. 

I can't wait until the Marlins make another (bigger) move soon and these forums do a complete 180. Already starting to sense a thawing here...

Looks like Taylor is likely to come to the NL East.

I would really dislike Rosario for anything other than a 4th OF at most.

 Spending on more OF? I remember a time when it looked like we had so many promising OF prospects. 

I'd rather have "too much" than not enough.......and you can always trade a surplus for other needs (like we're seeing with pitching).

Actually if it's a longer deal the Marlins might be able to spread the money out in a way that fits them better. A thought?

Maybe.....as long as it's not some mega dollars amount.  7-8 years is a long time though.

Also for the record, I have maybe 15% confidence in ownership actually giving Kim a real budget to work with and thats being fairly generous.

Full disclosure.  

I will also not be surprised if by the end of this winter season we start to call Craig Mish the boy that cried wolf.   I hope I'm proven wrong on both fronts.  

I have no clue how they are going to solve catcher, and have every expectation they are just waiting for Gary Sanchez to be non tendered to 'solve' catcher and that will set this pitching staff back having him around, tbqh. 

He very well might be, just as he was at the deadline.  But you can't skewer or praise him until the results happen either way.

Didn’t realize he’s been below average defense his whole career. Wasn’t he drafted for his defense and high floor hitting?

Just the hitting. Don't think he was ever a good defender. Matt Dominguez, however ...

Get in my DeLorean, travel to July, tell Jeter he is a fucking moron, sign Marte to an extension in July.

Problem solved. 

Padres have interest in Alfaro... I'm stunned. Whatever they offer just take it.

No matter how many great moves they have in this off-season wouldn't cover up of this ridiculous mistake.
