Reading between lines they ain’t signing a single FA this off season. Makes sense as goal is to lose 100 games

They’ll sign free agents but it’ll be lower end roster fill kind of guys

Maybe a very cheap bullpen arm but dix is signaling they are very comfortable with current positive players internally

They missed out on the 1st Overall pick this year so now they’re really embarrassed. Now they have to run it back and try again. Even if they would have gotten Holliday they wouldn’t have spent much, if at all, but now they’re really going scorched earth and hoping media and fans don’t raise any more stink past the winter. That’s my educated guess, at least.

Eh, I don’t think we need to read between the lines for that conclusion - I think it’s a headline.

Maybe but I think the narrative is different. Not a coincidence that Burger was traded practically the same day like your saying, but I’m convinced that they didn’t want the first pick so they can continue their rebuilding process. The lottery is rigged they all know what’s going on. Marlins wasn’t ever going to spend.

Create a narrative to push agenda. MLB Draft importance isn’t the same as the NFL or NBA. You don’t tank because you missed out on the top 3 picks.

What’s your timeline for a daddy dix squad having a winning record?

I thought they could have been a powerhouse in 2026. Sandy & Eury would be fully built up for innings while the young core got their hard knocks in 2025. We had a great opportunity with youth + experience + a key free agent addition but they went the Rays model, sustained success without actually winning. No wonder Skip wanted out.

But to answer your question anything is possible but highly unlikely. We seen it before all the fire sales and rebuilds which is a dice game that rarely works without key free agents. The answer really is based on when they are willing to spend.

Milquetoast with a punchable face. What a combo.

Also:

“The Marlins have less than $40 million in payroll commitments next season. Asked when the team will begin spending money, Bendix said: “It’s hard to have a specific answer”…Bendix wouldn’t rule out signing a free agent”

Holy fudge

he’s an AI bot. i mean nothing behind the eyes at all. could care less about any of the questions he’s getting, and honestly why should he.
