Ratchet down the sky is falling stuff at least until 6:01 PM

I said I'll reserve judgment on all the moves until after the deadline.

However, it's still annoying to see other clubs making moves to add while we're collecting more prospects and subtracting from this year's team now.

So if they do nothing to help the 2026 squad, you'll join the chorus of boos at 6:01 PM then also?

I will if they add nothing. Not FUCKTHISTEAM24/7 type boos but boos nonetheless.

I think we will add some pitching

Random thought......where's @Michael these days?

I will say one last thing on the Hicks trade. As long as Conine, Stowers, and Caissie stay healthy, we will be fine. None have them have any history of injuries, right?......

Adding Long in the Brax trade obliterates my injury concerns.

So you’re annoyed they haven’t made additions on YOUR timeline?

Who have we subtracted for our team today other than Hicks? Did I miss something? You’re not implying that Garrett is a loss to this years team are you?

Sherman is 💯 not invested in this team winning. He just wants to take in his free rev sharing money and just turn over the team to keep it cheap AF while duping people into buying into the whole "the future will be bright" nonsense and kicking the can down the road again and again. Ya'll know dis yo

Yes. I'm tired of decades of "we'll go for it next year".

You're also ignoring I literally said I'll reserve judgment on the day's moves until after the deadline. Doesn't mean I can't be frustrated seeing other teams making moves in the meantime.

Considering so far the moves today removed the team's RBI leader, it is gonna take a lot for them to end up better (in 2026) than they were prior to the deadline. But they've got another 2.5 hours to surprise me.

I corrected that post prior to your post.

They were determined NOT to use Garrett, so this trade isn't as annoying as Hicks.

I like the Brax trade a lot honestly. Jace beck has been really good since they converted him to a starter, so I think that will turn out to be a solid piece. But also…the big league squad is WORSE today than it was yesterday. Sooooo yeah, fuckin do something here, Bendix

You keep saying you’re reserving judgment while simultaneously judging.

take a deep breathe and come back to 6:01 PM.

ESPN is so used to the Marlins trading away players, we’re now trading other teams’ players…

ESPN is a fuckin joke. They’re on the brink of bankruptcy and have been pretty irrelevant for years

ESPN also giving us a D+ for the Hicks trade lol.

No they confused us with the Rays when we had that awesome June stretch

oh yeah that is right

The Athletic is giving us an A and B+ from two different writers for the Hicks move.

The ESPN guy was looking at it more from a "this year" view. The Athletic guys were looking at it longer term (i.e. 2-4 years from now 🙄)

The women’s pro basketball/baseball channel is weighing in on the Marlins/Rays trade.

Hicks had a phenomenal April. He was still productive after that, but since May he is 7th in RBIs and 8th in RBI's per PA on the team. Still contributing, but Stowers, Mack, Conine, Heriberto, and Caissie have been more productive. Unless you started Hicks at CF or 2B he would be starting over a guy who has been more productive in that time.

You can try and spin it as much as you want, the team got worse today for 2026 so far. But deadline isn't over yet.
