marlinsmaniac Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) This organization would have been in such a different place if he and the other Yelich pieces had reached even some semblance of their potential. Isan was supposed to be the new Dan Uggla, Brinson was gonna be Yelich 2.0, and Harrison was gonna be the new Ozuna. Sigh.

Someone recently said that we literally got the worst possible outcome from that trade. What are the chances of that? When you get a multiple player return you can assume not all will pan out but to have everyone completely fail is kinda wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same basically happened with the Cabrera trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovertical Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Brinson was still a prospect and already in his mid 20s at the time of that trade AND had been traded previously too which is usually a decent sign he's not gonna amount to much more than replacement level imo. Just an idiotic trade to have Brinson as the centerpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke Badenhop was fine and at least Maybin and Miller eventually had good major league careers. Feels like the Yelich trade players won't ever see the majors again.

Sure but dude we traded a future hall of famer for that. That has to go down as top 5 worst trades in history for any team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller and Maybin had good careers eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but they had good careers after they left here, so we traded a hall of famer for basically nothing. I'd agree that Yelich probably hurt more, though, because we already had him on a club-friendly contract and didn't need to trade him.

SilverBullet Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Both trades were bad but we got better players back for Cabrera than we did for Yelich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh that’s a huge if though cause he wasn’t “that” before those years, and he hasn’t been that since. He had a bad back here too so I don’t buy that as the reason for the drop off. He was inflated by the launch angle craze before pitching adjusted to that whole movement and now he’s a power hitter stuck in a slap hitters body.

He is playing at his age 31 season. Unless he would turn into Barry Bonds from a production standpoint he isnt sniffing a hall of fame induction at this point based on his career stats. He really needs another 3-4 seasons of truly elite play to even enter the conversation. But father time is batting 1.000, so the clock is a ticking.

Das Texan Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Also I hope Lew does well out in Japan. By far the best player the Marlins acquired in that deal but he is at best a 4th OF in reality. Truly a great guy though. The real question is who is picking up the great Isan Diaz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
