No, here.

Veterans wouldn't be a sure thing, either. Look at Dickerson.

Going through the years, look at Morse. Volquez (outside of like two starts). Garrett Jones (albeit with a proper platoon would have been a lot better). Latos.

To be fair, we always seemed to sign the washed up vet, not productive ones.

But agreed, there are no guarantees......I have no problem letting Jazz and Jesus start.  They were not the problem last year - they have things to work on, sure, but they were not the problem.

Maybe it's allowed in the KBO to have an ALL foreign players roster now, lol.

This lockout is really a torment to the fans, but maybe this team still do nothing now without the lockout …

Apparently old friend Joe Espada, Matt Quatraro, and Buck Showalter are finalists for the Mets managing job.  I'd be surprised if it isn't Showalter given he's a known name.

And Max wants Showalter.

Sounds like a merger between HBO Max and Showtime.

I literally had a dream that we brought back Martin Prado.

They were pretty clearly doing things before the lockout, no reason to assume they're gonna stop after the lockout.

I think you misunderstand my post (or I didn't express clearly ), I mean the lockout interrupt the hot stove but it also forces this team to make some early moves. Of course I believe they would continue to make moves after the lockout. 

"Miami has begun to rebuild itself into an interesting team. If they doubled their payroll by spending 70 million per year on three more players, say Correa (32 million per year), Castellanos (23 million per year) and Schwarber (15 million per year), they could be a really competitive team."

It's one of many feedbacks, yeah, why not ?

Ha, it's hard to see one of those happening, let alone all 3.

All three?

We're probably lucky that they want Schwarber and should be happy if they get him but I can't see them doing any more than that if even that. Virtually no team would add all three of those guys together anyways.

They absoultely should.

Though I dare say they really dont need both Castellanos and Schwarber.

But Correa along with one of those two?  Yes sign me up.

This team should be all fucking in on Correa.

And the $325MM to Correa would be much more worthy than the $325MM to Giancarlo. I know want the Marlins to sign Correa is just like want a gas station employee to buy a Ferrari, but you just need that Ferrari to win the racing.

Somehow that makes complete sense 

See if the Rangers want to shed some salary. Trade with them for Seager and Semien.

Also sign Correa and then Story.

Just get as many shortstops as possible.
