rmc523 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) The Marlins continue with the BIG moves.... ...by signing a 31 year old that hasn't pitched in the bigs in 3 years, and had a 6.19 ERA in Triple A for the Pirates last year. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/marlins-kent-emanuel-agree-to-minor-league-deal.html The Marlins are in agreement with left-hander Kent Emanuel on a minor league contract, reports Craig Mish of SportsGrid (on X). He receives a non-roster invitation to MLB Spring Training. A North Carolina product, Emanuel has 10 big league games on his résumé. Those came back during the 2021 campaign, when he logged 17 2/3 innings of 2.55 ERA ball with the Astros. That year was cut short in June by a UCL injury that required surgical repair. Emanuel hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since then, largely because of injuries. Houston waived him at the end of the ’21 campaign. He landed in Philadelphia via claim but opened the next year on the injured list as he worked back from the elbow procedure. Emanuel suffered a shoulder injury late in 2022 while pitching in the minors. Philadelphia let him go at the end of the year without getting him into a major league game. The 31-year-old signed a minor league deal with the Pirates a year ago. He started 13 of 20 appearances for their top affiliate in Indianapolis. Emanuel posted a lackluster 6.19 ERA over 84 1/3 innings, running a slightly below-average 20.1% strikeout rate in the process. Pittsburgh released him in August.

rmc523 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/marlins-to-acquire-darren-mccaughan-designate-peyton-burdick.html The Marlins are acquiring right-hander Darren McCaughan from the Mariners for cash considerations, reports Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald (X link). Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports (on X) that outfielder Peyton Burdick is being designated for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster. The Long Beach State product, who turns 28 next month, saw very brief MLB action with Seattle in 2021 and ’23. He has allowed 13 runs in 14 big league innings. McCaughan has spent most of the last three years working as rotation depth at Triple-A Tacoma. He started 25 games there a season ago, pitching to a 5.83 ERA across 139 innings. His 21.2% strikeout percentage was a little below average, but he kept his walks to a modest 7.2% clip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaiwanMarlins Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Ng developed from the rich team system (Dodgers and Yankees) so she's not used to be cheap and would spends some money, Bendix developed from the poor team system (Rays) so he's used to be cheap and enjoy to be the most cheap, it's why Sherman likes him so much.

But even beyond that, did they really have to DFA one of the few guys who actually showed some potential as a hitter? Seems odd to me. Not particularly consequential, but confusing.

Every one he’s acquired sucks. I’ll be happy if they all way outperform their numbers Rays-style, but I have zero confidence they do. it’s just pathetic that this is how they follow up a playoff season. whether or not Kim’s offseason would’ve been different I don’t know, but just about anything would’ve been better than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 This could be the most boring off-season in team history. At least 1998 had some firesale trades. They sucked but it wasn't boring! And technically the off-season ends when the team reports to spring training IMO which is 5 days away. We could actually go the entire off-season without one FA signing.
