July 28, 20232 yr Who? Nevermind, just looked him up. Longtime Yankees pitcher. Never heard of him before but I guess he is a well known pitcher. Good, I guess? Edited July 28, 20232 yr by SirFishFan
July 28, 20232 yr Interesting move - must not be a lot of faith in Puk. I am hoping Pul can figure it out and be a long term option.
July 28, 20232 yr Author People really confused on this guy? He was with the Phillies too as well as Mets and Yankees. He's not an obscure player.
July 28, 20232 yr Author Glad to see Kim is clearly adding. These are "easy upgrades" at this point. Just go for it.
July 28, 20232 yr Just now, SilverBullet said: People really confused on this guy? He was with the Phillies too as well as Mets and Yankees. Not a random guy I think. Well to be honest I hardly keep up with other teams bullpens so even though I’m sure Robertson has pitched many times vs the Marlins over the years I don’t think I have ever heard that name before. The only rival relief pitchers I can name off the top of my head are like Craig Kimbrel, Edwin Diaz, Ranger Suarez(just because Ranger is not a real name) and Aroldis Chapman(but don’t even remember what team he currently plays for- Reds, maybe?). 😂

I just recognize this name from over the years. Didn't think he was an obscure name at all.
July 28, 20232 yr Author Got him for 2 snot nosed punk teenagers! "Omg dont trade away our prospects for a playoff run!!!!" Kiss my booty... trade all those loser kids outta here cuz I want a winning season!
July 28, 20232 yr It clearly solves a problem but this is a an overpay for 2 months of a relief pitcher.
July 28, 20232 yr Wtf, we gave away both of those guys for a 38 year old. Massive massive overpay. Hate it. Hope I'm wrong.
July 28, 20232 yr Hahahaha some of you are overreacting a little bit as far as the exchange of players.. I’m sure all of us remember in 2003 when the Marlins traded their number 1 overall pick Adrian Gonzalez as well as Ryan Snare and another minor leaguer for a several month rental of Ugeth Urbina. This deal for Robertson is nothing compared to that deal in 2003.
July 28, 20232 yr Those of you calling this an overpay, be honest: you'd never heard of those two guys before today. They are both teenagers. The odds that either guy ever plays in a Major League Baseball game are well under 10%. Plus, they're position players, we were going to ruin their development anyway.

Every single prospect the marlins trade is considered an all star even though they were never heard of the day before. Look up Bryan Chourio and Jose Salas (were those the real names) for proof of that.

Kiss my booty... trade all those loser kids outta here cuz I want a winning season! Must hoard every prospect even if we have to look up who they are before saying we should hoard them.
July 28, 20232 yr David Robertson is a veteran reliever with playoff experience. Solid acquisition for a good price considering we didn’t trade any of our big chips yet. Hopefully they are traded next for bigger moves.
July 28, 20232 yr Last post before others reply since I’m spamming at this point… Rookie League players are not projectable. I need to find a stat but I’m assuming most never make it. I’ll trade the entire rookie league for guys to help this season.
