6 hours ago6 hr And if they aren't buying, why keep Sandy? I don't get it. He's improved his value. Only signed through 2027 (which may not happen). Unless they plan to extend him (doubt), what's the point of keeping him?I just sometimes feel like this team doesn't have a plan and just decides on a whim what to do.

4 hours ago4 hr The problem with trading Sandy is that the pitching rotation is very thin to begin with. I'm not sure this an area where you can just keep moving chips towards the future and expect to be competitive.

That doesn't make sense to me.He'll never have more value than

While Miami isn’t expected to act as a pure seller, the Fish appear more open to making some sell-side moves if they bring back help in other areas of need. There have already been reports that they’re open to offers on catcher/designated hitter Liam Hicks. Today, the trio of Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon and Katie Woo at The Athletic report that Miami will at least listen to offers on controllable bats, including shortstop Otto Lopez, second baseman Xavier Edwards and outfielder Heriberto Hernández. The Athletic’s report suggests that pitchers Sandy Alcantara, Max Meyer, Eury Pérez and young catcher Joe Mack are largely believed to be off limits.It’s always worth emphasizing this year: listening on players of this nature is far different from shopping them. Miami certainly isn’t in a rush to push someone like Lopez or Edwards out the door, but there’s no harm in seeing what offers could materialize in what increasingly looks like a seller’s market. Several clubs are on the lookout for infield help and/or right-handed bats, all of which looks to be in short supply.More at the link above.
4 hours ago4 hr Otto and X are club controlled til 2030. They'll need a massive return to trade either one I am sure and I hope.
3 hours ago3 hr Thank God I have all this experience as a Miserable Mets fan to help me through this trying time of being a POOR Miserable Marlins fan too.
3 hours ago3 hr With the prospect of a floor and the upper teams possibly needing to cut payroll for a ceiling, now would be the time to BUY relatively expensive contracts by taking prospects in return too for moderate prospects. The free for all and overpayment for players when a floor hits and 12 teams need to reach for it is going to be bonkers. Thats how in the NBA players like Parsons and Mosgov got 4 years at 98 and 64 million when comparables before the lockout were 20-25 million.Buy "overpriced" talent now while its expensive money wise because medicore talent is about to get paid to reach the cap. I can see Sherman spending 50 Million for a year of Adeiny Hechevaria to reach the floor next year out of spite.
