August 2, 20224 yr Not sure what team would meet the demands for Lopez if the Marlins are looking for ready-now young talent. Any team who wants him is in win now mode, which means they won't want to give up MLB ready players.

They do have to trade at least half of Aguilar, Cooper, Lewin, Berti, Wendle, Rojas, Anderson, Bass, Floro, Bleier, and Okert (who all have control besides Aguilar so it can also happen in December), but no rush with Pablo.

Lots of trades happening...I don't even see the Marlins being mentioned anywhere except these really sad broad statements..."Marlins are open to trade..." I just picture an awkward kid hoping to make it into a pickup game holding a ball...or wanting to dance and no one is interested. I can't wait to hear about Bleier being traded for cash considerations or a PTBNL just because another GM felt sorry for making Ng sit on hold for 45 minutes. I agree with your point they should be doing something (or have an explosive offseason), but to quib... If they traded Bleier for $1 in cash considerations, they save $4,250,000 in payroll over the next 3 seasons ($500k this year versus a CC replacement, full $3.5 next year, and $250k buyout in 2024). That buys you Floro and Okert next year in a straight wash so to speak. I'd do that quickly. I'd be happy with this bullpen: Floro, Bender, Pop, Poteet, _____ Scott, Okert, Garret/Rogers (this is the keep Pablo bullpen, someone gets shot to pen of these two) Get a guy with options for last spot (or I guess keep Bass even and Pop/Bender/Garrett have options) and your call-up pool is him, Neidert, Sixto, and eventually Eury and Eder. They should find some more relievers with options for injuries, but they can take 2-3 shots at another "Head" or "Yacabonis" they can put in AAA. and see if they get a "Nick Anderson." This is where it really sucks that blank line isn't Meyer or Cabrera, but oh well. Just saying, dumping Bleier would be great.

Yeah I have no confidence they do anything noteworthy, either now or in the offseason. 4 minutes ago, SonOfJack said: The way that’s worded, it’s implied he delivered with last year’s deadline comments.

August 2, 20224 yr Just now, taiwanmarlin said: I only know 2023 is their last chance. You've been saying that every year. And when they suck in 2023 you'll say 2024 is their last chance. Nobody bounces from hopeful to hopeless and quickly or as often as you do.
August 2, 20224 yr Do journalists get paid in any way based on their tweets? Because at the end of the day this is all still work for these guys and if their articles are what is gonna bring them their income I'm now wondering why they even bother to tweet any info. What's the point of the tweets if the articles are what they need people to view? If I get paid for something I'm not giving up fragments of it for free.

You've answered your own question here - the tweets are the gateway to the article and drives audience.
