The Athletic has a blurb about us flirting with CBA trouble and risking a MLBPA grievance.

We’re required to carry a luxury-tax payroll more than 1.5 times what they receive in revenue sharing. We’re getting roughly $70M next year, so we’d have to have a luxury tax payroll of $105M at the end of next season, and we’re currently at $83M.

They go on to mention 45% of that $83M is unrelated to the current roster (players not on the team anymore or player benefits, pre arb bonus pool etc.).

So at some point we’ll have to actually spend money. It’s ridiculous.

They could take on bad contracts to get prospects in return lol

Pete: “We can get these awesome prospects if we take this bad contract.”

Bruce: "A bad contract? Like Ozzie Albies’ deal? Man that was such a bad contract for him.”

Pete: “N … yes, kind of like that, maybe.”

Pitcher. Uninspiring. Should have gone to college.

I dunno has some decent stuff with weird arm angle and has been injured. Seems like a classic daddy dix/rays turn into a good RP move with low risk

So many in Marlins Twitter land itself ejaculating themselves over the Mervis acquisition as of its really that significant for a rather insignificant piece.

This should be a back page deal that is becuase its the Marlins front page news.

Sub 2% of him actually contributing a positive WAR next year but he’ll still get 300ab. He’s still better than Brujan somehow though, another daddy dix stroke of genius

Also hard to blame them or the beat writers as they have nothing else to talk about as the team intentionally loses 100+ games until 2027
