May 4, 20242 yr Guys… ”The Padres also received nearly $7.9 million in cash considerations, leaving them responsible only for the major league minimum salary for Arraez.”

May 4, 20242 yr 9 hours ago, Admin said: I’m not mad. I like Arraez but i accepted he wasn’t going to be signed long term anyway. The trades are coming and better to get them done earlier if the offer is good. Head looks legit exciting. Though he is 2-3 years away and in A-ball so who knows really how that ends up. This would have been my take if it wasn't just the same cycle being repeated over and over again. Best case scenario with Head is that he gets really good and then we trade him for prospects at a future fire sale and then once again people are going "Oh we got some exciting prospects back! Can't wait to see what they become!"

May 4, 20242 yr Wild how quickly so many are like "eh, Arraez wasnt sticking around so its no big deal that we're starting another rebuild! Yay for more prospects!" You all must like the feeling of recurring heartburn.

I think people target Bendix too much with the stuff that has gone down. He has flaws for sure, but Sherman is the current big problem this team has.

Yes about Bendix good point. He's doing what he's directed to do and in theory this "could" actually work to make a winner one day. He deserves the time to make it happen, dare I say his clock hasn't started yet!? Lol We were all frustrated with Kim her first season too!

May 4, 20242 yr Damn, for some reason I thought this was Arraez's last year under club control....but he doesn't hit free agency until after 2025. That makes this trade happening now slightly more puzzling.
May 4, 20242 yr If sherman just wants a yes man, can we atleast get one that doesn't have the biggest punch me face on the planet? Imagining that clown negotiating is terrifying
May 4, 20242 yr Peter Bendix has officially replaced David Samson as the least likeable Marlins front office guy. Also fuck this dumpster fire.

May 4, 20242 yr Arraez is an amazing hitter and an amazing clubhouse guy. He was also the 76th best player in MLB last year.
May 4, 20242 yr "too good to pass up" lol. Ah you'd think we would get numb to this stuff by now. Just stinks man, was a lot of fun to watch him play. I mean Dillon Head's a good piece, but we're talking 2027 even IF he works out. Maybe CF of the future as they'll probably have dealt Jazz by then lol. Once they indicated Marsee was included it was a little less awful since maybe at least one of them (Marsee/Martorella) pans out. Marsee had a really nice '23 though has slipped this year. Martorella, interestingly at this time last year Fangraphs had him as the #5 Pads prospect. He didn't really fall off much at all since then either though the HR haven't kept pace in AA, but average & OPB are decent. Both of them look like they have better walk rates than most of the current Marlins, so that could be one thing Bendix is looking for. Send them both to AAA so I can watch 🙂. Prospect watching is about the only joy left in being a Marlins fan lol

May 4, 20242 yr I think the worst part about being a Marlins fan is the team is always so close to being a legit contender if they would just make standard, common sense moves that any other normal sports organization would make

Arraez wins batting title 2 years in a row, makes the all star team 2 years in row, wins the silver slugger 2 years in a row. But Jazz Chisholm gets put on the cover of video games and stars in tv commercials and Marlins dump Arraez and pays another team to take him. 😂 And Avi gets to stay and make $12 mil this year. Sheesh this is silly. 😂

I don't think there was a need for a full rebuild now if they had just done other things better.
