I remember reading someone saying Cueto is a target only if they trade a SP. 

The best case scenario would be signing Cueto first and trying to move a SP after that, if you couldn't move a SP then it would never be a bad thing to have a veteran present in the rotation.

I fully agree with you, I see no reason they have to wait and see.

Case in point, he hasn't even tweeted about the Segura deal yet lol.

Should be the opposite.  Get extra and then deal.

After adding 8.5 mil AAV to payroll with the Segura signing, I see Wendle more likely to move now. Maybe a team with a bat will be intrigued by a Wendle + Lopez offer.  Joey is set to earn almost 6 mil.

I was thinking about this last night, and they let BA go, who was projected to get 5.2M.  If Segura is 8.5, they effectively only added 3.3M

Hopefully Kim being slow on this means she's insisting on specific returns.

I’m thinking there’s a better chance of Rojas getting traded if one of them is traded.

One could hope.

Seems to be more interest from other teams in Wendle thus far.

Just can't have a wait and see approach, that would only force them to do something bad.

Yeah because Wendle is better.

From the Marlins perspective, if you trade Wendle, Jazz basically becomes the only left-handed hitter in the lineup. I think that’s concerning.

The redundant guy is actually Rojas because we have other guys who could replace his production (Berti, Groshans, Leblanc, etc.). 

I actually wouldn’t mind keeping both guys because I still like Rojas (unlike most people), but if you trade one, I think it should be Rojas even if you get less in return.

If we want Cueto, should sign him ASAP. Not saying he is super in-demand but odds become likely he signs somewhere else if we wait around for a possible trade.

I put it in the other thread too, but I'll throw it here as well....

So....with BA's projected 5.2M salary this year, that means we've only allotted about 1.3M in new money for this year.  Don't go too crazy, Bruce.

Yup, sign and deal after.  With our luck, we'd deal and then he'd sign somewhere else.

Isn't it crazy that Cueto is still even around? But yea go get him now.

Should we also remove Aguilar's projected salary, too, since he was going to have one more arb year?

This is probably also why she hasn't done anything - ONE THING AT A TIME FOLKS.

not if their own team already has trouble scoring runs when at hitter friendly parks

You're assuming she is even aware of that.

That's ok.  Garcia hits 30HR per year left handed.

If Segura's agent told her he is a switch hitter, she believed it
