Also cost us a couple outs over the years by having his wrong foot on the bag and being unable to stretch to his full-ass 6'-6" frame.

Then again that would have ended his season.

This does not change the fact that Bell is worse defensively lol

Gonna be awesome when Weathers wins Cy Young next year.

I didn't know ol' Dave had another son pitching in MLB aside from Ryan.

Sure it does!

Bell will be fine. Offense is what we needed and got.

Josh Bell

vs RHP: .686 OPS

vs LHP: .736 OPS

Garrett Cooper 

vs RHP: .682 OPS

vs LHP: .871 OPS 

We got worse at 1B today by a fairly significant margin. All they had to do was get a left handed platoon bat and 1B could’ve been solved relatively cheaply in the short term.

Same old marlins 

Marlins should sign him for league min

Not sure what the fuss is.  Eder was the only real prospect we lost today. The Weathers move could be brilliant.  

Segura is gone and that's a win. Burger is much better.

Cooper is a decent player but not a game changer. Bell has a little more upside. I have no problem with this move. 

I'd have a problem standing pat and not trying.  We are better today even if only a little.  

Bring up Amaya to replace Wendle and improve our infield defense.  That would be nice, also.

Cooper’s k% and bb% are career worsts

Just points to the fact that even at his career worst, he’s still better than what Josh Bell is today 

I’m truly failing to see how anyone has any faith that Ryan weathers turns into anything. Especially as a starter. 

He hasn’t had success at any level of his professional baseball career lol.

Well let’s hope bell magically reverts 😆

IS THIS THE SAME RYDAWG FROM THE OTHER DAY WHEN WE LOST MARCO HERNANDEZ AND RONALD VARGAS??? 

Let's also not forget Cooper was gone after this season. Bell is here for 2024.

I figured people should be at least happy about Segura going because of all the noise on here

Weathers has first round pedigree and his velo has been good this year 

Can't believe there's a game today. With the deadline at 6pm and not midnight, the trade deadline should be a set off day so that teams don't have to go crazy with roster moves at 6pm for a game within the hour. 

Feels like a lot of short benches tonight .

Everyone breathe. 🙂

If he can turn anything into a good SP, what’s the point in always having top prospects? Trade Sandy and Eury for big bats and keep going to the trash can for arms

If by first round pedigree you mean his dad was a big leaguer, then yes 

Edited August 1, 20233 yr by marlins_09

Amaya stinks, not sure why people keep asking for him.

The SS situation will just be a Wendle/Berti platoon. Or if Wendle continues to not hit at all, Berti might just become the full-time SS.

There’s no reason for Berti to really play the OF anymore so he can be used more at SS.

I’m not sure that’s a good thing lol 

I'm going to give Kim a grade of D overall on the deadline deals.  The best trade by far was the initial trade for Robertson.

I don't see any reason to have traded for Weathers as he sucks.  He's been shitty in the minors and the majors - why not just play another shitty pitcher there?

Burger seems like a truly awful guy to insert into the lineup that already struggles to get on base as it is.  I'm not that upset over Eder being moved but I just don't think Burger will do very well overall.  I read that he plays pretty shitty defense as well and I'm guessing it's because he's a big boi and probably not that mobile over there. Couple that with he's been one of the worst in MLB for two months and...yeah.  It seemingly spells disaster.

Also, the Segura "trade" was a poorly disguised salary dump.  I would have rather kept Cooper and Watson and just released Segura but Brucey didn't want to pay the money so off goes Khalil to get someone to take Segura off our hands. 

I don't see how any of these moves are going to translate to helping this club this season down the stretch at all.  The Weathers trade is still the most baffling of all to me though - it seems like a trade last year's team would have made because they could have him pitch in games that don't matter so Mel could see what he has to work with in the offseason.  There is literally no reason they needed to trade for this pile of shit.  Even for those of you saying it's because other guys will need rest - it still makes no sense because they could have called someone else up or even signed someone out of the indpendent leagues and likely not gotten a much worse, if at all, guy. 

Hope I'm 100% wrong here but I think she did a truly shitty job this deadline overall.

The fact the Guardians released Jean gives me a smile
