Marlins' Trade Deadline Thread (July 30, 6pm)

I talked with a Marlins scout (I noticed his Marlins lanyard and then his MLB ID with team logo) at a Red Sox complex league game the other day, according to him no one on the roster is untouchable and they really hope to be active at the deadline, he also alluded that things were better under Ng at least in the scouting department. 

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize no one  is untouchable. Get rid of cancer Chisholm, maximize tanner Scott return and then be happy with anything else from the scrap heap.

Jazz is probably my second largest disappointment as a Marlin. I still have Hanley as my biggest disappointment. He wrecked his swing and production that one offseason he bulked up to give himself more power and he was never the same afterward. He just got lazier and lazier as well. 

I loved Jazz when he came over and was so disappointed when he had his first major injury but whatever. Then it happened again - what terrible luck! Then there was the Rojas snafu where Miggy (likely) called him a child. No sweat Jazz, I got your back! I like the personality!

Move forward a few more seasons....same shit and he's riding on rep (rep which has largely been fabricated by himself and the bizarre decision to give him a game cover). He is just a moron. 

 

Sorry for shitting on you back in the day Miggy Ro. You knew this guy was a pile of shit long before any of us.

I take no pleasure in realizing he is the Mario Balotelli of baseball.  I wanted him to be a franchise guy as much as anyone.  Unfortunately, he is pretty much worth a bag of baseballs and is a complete clubhouse cancer.   Sell him for whatever the hell we can get.  He is and will always be nothing.  To make a prospect comparison, he is an older Kahlil Watson.  Character does count.

Why even trade him then?

 

 

 

well, i don't think it would cost that much to acquire Jazz as it is so this doesn't bode well lol

 

CLEAR ALL THE SALARY!!!!!

 

but yeah, Jazz needs to be gone asap.

I'm more interested in what they get for Scott in return.

A few thoughts on this:

 

-this latest rebuild will be years longer than thought (hoped)

-Jazz should go regardless - I feel like his attitude may affect the rest of the guys

-this could also be Mish setting himself up for "underpromise, overdeliver" since he's been wrong in the past.

Can't blame the Marlins honestly; they aren't stupid. Jazz is stupid. I mean, JUST PLAY THE RIGHT NOTES

What did I miss? Why is everyone hating on Jazz?

He plays terrible defense and is overrated is my guess

 

Edit: ask. @pollythewog how Jazz's CF play has been this year - he's about the only person left watching the games. I want to say he posts at least once or twice a game about how awful Jazz is in CF.

My main gripe is that he is just an idiot with a terrible baseball IQ. He doesn't seem to care about getting better (i.e. he just keeps doing the same shit with no change) and for his blazing speed the dude is TERRIBLE at stealing bases (again, very low baseball IQ and seems to think his talent alone is all he needs). 

Most of us also kinda get the vibe that he's a clubhouse cancer and maybe Miggy Ro was right all along to call him out on his shit.

Jazz "Potential" Chisholm

He does have a ton of potential, we can't deny that.

The problem is he thinks he's already there and doesn't need to improve or get better at things.

The biggest problem for Jazz is Jazz, and he doesn't see it, because Jazz is in his way.

Legit quality summary there. I can only imagine what he thinks he's going to get as a FA when the time comes.

Trading Jazz is laughable

Why though? He's not doing anything special this year and he hasn't really played much or had a special season in the past. He's literally lived off of his unearned rep for a few years now.  The team isn't winning with him on it this year and he's been injured when they were winning so I don't see how he adds much in the grand scheme of things - he's also going to want WAY more than he's worth because he thinks he's producing at an all-star level year over year.

Stallings OPSing .770 this yeah hahahahaha

Everyone does better once they leave here. It’s not only the team/coaching but the stadium itself is TERRIBLE hitters. Plus playing in front of 15 fans that never get your adrenaline pumped, it’s just a recipe for shitty offense

His contract is like $2.5M this year and he’ll most likely go 20/30 or better if he stays healthy. A 2.5 to 3 WAR player at that price is pretty darn good. He’s also more valuable defensively at 2b. if they’re not going get any good prospects for him they should just hold onto him really. He’ll cost what, like $7M max next year?

Just wanted to chime in with a random stat. 3 out of the top 5 hitters in the NL are former Marlins. What time to be alive. 😃
