Jesús Luzardo (back) heads to IL; Braxton Garrett (elbow) scratched from start

FO really bungled this one if they can’t get top end prospect talent for Luzardo.

They should've traded Luzardo during the offseason. There, I said it.

They boned themselves by trying to feign "competitiveness." By not trading Luzardo in the offseason, they put themselves in the literal worst case scenario: Worst team in Baseball (I don't count the White Sox and Rockies as real baseball franchises), and has next to nothing to trade away to get prospects for the future. Now Luzardo sucks and is hurt, and now they can't get anything for him in return.

I thought they were on the right track by shipping Arraez at the start of May, but they had a winning record in May, and that somehow convinced them to not ship off any more pieces.

It's painful being a fan of a team that's bad and has no clue how to steer the team in the direction it needs to go.

Completely agree with the lack of direction, worst place to be is stuck in the middle indecisive.  Terrible team at the MLB level and by all accounts one of the worst farm systems as well, especially at the every day positional players, that has to be hard to accomplish.

No identity, no all stars. Perhaps Sanchez is a long-term keeper?

And Dillon Head already out for the year, lovely.

Why is Max Myers still in Jacksonville. If he reaches the maximum pitches they have allotted for him shut him down then. If that is August or early September. What difference does it make. We have no shot at the playoffs. 

Is Max Meyer injured or is he in the "dog house". There must be a rational explanation why he hasn't been recalled with all of these injuries to the Marlins pitching staff.

So f***ing true.

Depends on your definition of "rational," but July 21 is the magic date that Meyer can return while guaranteeing that his free agency gets pushed back a full year. Service time manipulation.

If he's and his agent is smart they should negotiate any extention with the Marlins and recoup the money he is losing for being relegated to the minors when he is clearly ready. In fact I would not be surprised if the Marlins are unable to sign him to an extension.
