Finding the “hidden gem” - Righty reliever edition

This entry was not in the plans, as the Marlins entered the offseason firmly convinced they needed an established closer (i.e., no “hidden gem”) for next year. Turns out as of today that they not only still need that closer, but now they’ve lost their best bullpen arm in Ronny Henríquez. Although never truly a closer, Ronny was more a “setup” man and the best performer in high leverage situations. Himself a waiver claim, Henríquez came out of nowhere last winter and sized his opportunity. A

Finding "The hidden gem" - Lefty Reliever edition

It is not a secret that the Marlins have improvement opportunities for relievers, particularly left-handed, both corner infielders, and could use a glove-first OF, even though Sanoja can do the job. It is also not a secret that the ownership is, to put it mildly, reluctant to spend in free agency, for whatever reason. Having said that, allow me to propose a group of low-risk and high-upside lefty FA relievers who might settle for a minor league deal entering next season. My favourite: LHP C

Checking out the Non-tendered List

After Friday afternoon, the free agent list got longer. The outlet MLB trade rumours published the non-tender player lists for both the National and the American Leagues, and there are names the Marlins should seriously consider to offer a job, at least to my perspective. Considering today’s roster and the needs this offseason: CL, LHP reliever, 1B/3B; the names are listed in these same groups from most logical fits to “nice to have”-s. Let’s get it on: CLOSER Best Option: RHP Jas

Yet another Offseason Blueprint

One week ago, Ely started this fun exercise where everyone can see what the wish list looks like for the Marlins this offseason, and I promised my own version of it. Last week, I was away on holiday and didn't have the time to write it down. During the week, many roster moves happened, the most commented - and probably unpopular - was Troy Johnston claimed off waivers by the Rockies. Yesterday, I found that M.J.S. posted his own Blueprint. Now it's my turn, and once again, I do this with my wish

Is there any hope left this offseason?

As reported by Christina de Nicola, Spring Training for the 2025 season will somehow begin next week. Although pitchers and catchers begin workouts in Jupiter, FLA, there is still a considerable amount of uncertainty about Miami's roster. After Braxton Garrett was reported out of the season due to UCL surgery, the most common question is whether the FO will bring an innings-eater Starter, with potential candidates on the menu. Another approach is to bring an expensive contract from other team. L

My Offseason Blueprint

It is that time of the year when we all want to play being Peter Bendix (or whatever he can do with cheap Uncle Bruce behind him). Last year, my offseason blueprint would have had some good results: At catcher, Grandal was injured for a while but still had a very decent season; Perdomo at SS also visited the IL but still had a solid bat and a very good glove; Jake Fraley was a below-average corner OF, more adequate as a 4th OF but still would have preferred him over DLC; Sam Moll had an excellen

      Luis Claro  »  1993 fan from start

      Llevaba 13 Año sin team de baseball.En 1980 dejé mi país y así mi equipo Industriales de la capital, La Habana,única provincia entonces Ese año de 1993, los Marlins de Florida debutan en MLB.Aun recuerdo algunos jugadores: Benito Santiago (R),Charly Huff(L),Carr y Destrade, entre otros si no me falla la memoria.No podía asistir a los juegos era caro para mi,pero los veía por TV o la mayoría en la voz de quien más,en mi opinión amo a los Marlins:el inigualable en inmortal HOF Rafael(felo) Ramírez.Entre sus comentarios y mis visiones por TV, comenzé a tildar de traidores a los que apoyaban a Mets,yanquis y cubs ,sin darme cuenta que ellos nacieron o se criaron en esos lugares como yo lo hice en La Habana,admirando a Industriales.No todos son como aquélla niña con el letrero que decía,si mal no recuerdo:,, "Lo siento papi yo nací en Chicago,pero amo a los marlins.Yo los amo también.Como no hacerlo.Se lo merecen, sobretodo ahora después de esa demostración del año pasado
      Los seguiré hasta que Dios me lo permita
