Former Marlins playing in TB/Yankees Series

[Rob V]

Just having mixed feelings watching our former players play for other teams in the Playoffs after being discarded by the Fish for not being in their future plans for one reason or another. Yankees have Jazz, Weathers and Stanton while TB has Victor Mesa Jr, Liam Hicks and Nick Fortes. Mesa Jr ripped 14 Hrs the 2nd half and was on fire in Sept thus getting the start in game 1, Wow! Weathers, who pitched a solid inning in relief for the Yankees, was a trade that should never have been made as well as Liam Hicks who also started game 1 for the Division winning Rays and hit one off the wall for a double. Smh at the Fish Brass for whiffing on Victor Mesa Jr, who was signed out of Cuba and given a long look, who the Rays are now projecting as their CF of the future after scooping him up for free this past year after we Dfa'd him. 🤔🤨😤

The Marlins make the 3rd Wild Card if they retained Ryan Weathers, and put Junk (or Phillips, or Gusto) in the bullpen.

Change my mind.

Watching Victor Mesa Jr start all 3 games for TB and homering for the 15th time, being in the center of all the conversations after his catch attempt in RF was interfered with, then being the main interview after the game ended was kinda surreal for me. Seeing this kid signed for 1M out of Cuba as a 17 yr old by the Fish up to him being DFA'd this past spring by Miami and scooped up by TB brings me mixed feelings. Gotta feel good for the kid who looks excited as hell and is definitely making the most of this opportunity he's had all year long with the Rays where their Mgr now calls him their CF of the future. Blunder by the Fish? Yes, this is a major one as we went all out trading Cabbie for Owen Caisse when we had Mesa Jr primed and ready to breakout in the show this past Spring. Looks like all he needed was a chance.  🤔😤
