He got a lot of guys who were close to ready, such as Marsee, Pauley, Mazur, Snelling (those last three in one trade lol), Agustin, Stowers, Norby ...Also got some other guys like Deyvison who are still a work in progress but in due time ...Right now the Jake Burger trade in the offseason is looking like a wash.
July 27, 2025Jul 27 Have the Tigers reached out for any of our guys yet?What if we could wrench Max Clark from them?... nah he's probably untouchable.
July 28, 2025Jul 28 Okay. This is the dream deadline for the Marlins:Marlins trade Eddy, Bender, Fortes and maybe a mid range prospect to the Cubs for Owen Caissie AND Jaxson Wiggins.In separate deals trade Jesus Sanchez, Cal Quantrill, and maybe another reliever for guys in the low minors with around a 3 year development track.Promote Robby Snelling, Caissie, Marsee, and Mack. Insert all into the starting lineup. Demote Jack Winnkler. Bench Dane and Wagaman (your days are numbered). Start Heriberto at 1B (he has some playing time there as a pro). Promote Mazur and a couple of other guys for the bullpen. May get tricky with 40 man roster decisions unless they get bold and DFA some guys like George Soriano.Post Deadline team:Starting Position playersC- Joe Mack1B- Heriberto (just about all games vs lefty starters, some vs righties) and Hicks (most of the games vs righty starters- he will also get spot starts at C)2B- X3B- Pauly (mostly vs righties) and Sanoja (mostly vs lefties- will also get spot starts all over the diamond)SS- OttoLF- StowersCF- Marsee, sometimes DaneRF- CaissieDH- Gus, spot starts form others to keep them fresherStarting Rotation:EurySandyJunkSnellingEither Mazur or Bellozo until Weathers is healthy

Idc how good they are.Eddy and Bender for those two, fine. Fortes separate deal to bring up Mack.

Fortes separate deal to bring up Mack.Maybe it is a bit of an overpay, but I do like Caissie and Wiggins. But the team should hold out for full value and keep Eddy if the other team does not budge.

July 29, 2025Jul 29 No one is happier that the Marlins have lost two in a row right before the deadline than Bruce.

It’s just about being balanced. Ending this year on a high note is also just generally good and will get fans excited for next season. Sell pieces that make sense, but don’t just totally shit on the team.
July 29, 2025Jul 29 The only reason Bendix wants to trade Luzardo, Sandy and Cabrera is because Sherman told him he's a cheap ass.

Smith every time, who has done fairly well this year.Luzardo being gone is not a problem.
July 29, 2025Jul 29 Hope we remain firm on Cabrera. With three years of team control after this year, it needs to be a god damn haul. If not, keep him around. Edited July 29, 2025Jul 29 by WSE
