As I said earlier I think this would be a mistake if true.

Off-field issues, on-field issues. Don't see the appeal here.

I don't love it but it's a flyer all the way. If it clicks it's great, if not then who cares. I don't think he's blocking anyone and he's at worst just another arm in the mix. I wish it wasn't him but I like that they might be taking a gamble.

He is infinitely better than the Mr Coaxley character on twitter.

Think I'm missing something here.

He flies under the radar. @MrCoaxley over on Twitter.  @pollythewog is a fan of his.

MrCoaxley is a great follow. Highly recommend him!

Sounds awful.

We should start a rival site to the clown show fish stripes. How about fish polka dots?

There could be a section called “Polly’s place”

And what about the other fish stripes writer who “confirmed” it?

And they disabled replies which was probably a wise move.

Clowns.

It takes a lot to make a guy like Mish seem credible in this day and age.

While these clowns were trying to be first they learned the lesson it seems Mish might have learned.  

Its more important to be right than first.  

 

Morons.

I think there were 2 of them who confirmed it lol

That's hilarious

You know you gotta be real bad to suddenly start making Mish the more credible source on marlinsbaseball.com

That Kiefer guy actually "broke" something a few weeks back though so that's mildly interesting? Did he totally jump the gun but something is brewing with Chapman or was he just fed a flat out lie?

I certainly have concerns, but as a low-value flyer, why not?

Sounds like they're working on something perhaps, but maybe he thought they're farther along than they are?

I respect Fish Stripes cuz they work hard but you absolutely have to understand who and what they are.

I had a thought that maybe he got something from "Chapman's people"?

It could be said that the Marlins have gone beyond just showing "interest".  They have also "checked in" and "keeping an eye on Chapman "according to sources per MLB Trade Rumors. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/miami-marlins  

"Miami becomes the first team known to have checked in on the seven-time All-Star reliever this offseason, though Heyman suggests there are multiple clubs in the mix.

While the Fish are apparently keeping an eye on Chapman, it’s not clear how strong their interest is. Barry Jackson and Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reported this afternoon the Marlins hadn’t put forth a formal offer. "

Kiefer said Miami was the frontrunner for Cueto a few days before he signed.
