After constant trade rumors, Marlins send Jesús Luzardo to rival Phillies

They say you can only judge a trade over time. Not true. That was just an awful ... make that pathetic... deal.

Pretty soon the Marlins will need just a single walk-up-to -the-plate song for the entire team: Randy Newman's "Short People."

So we gave up a highly talented left-handed starting pitcher in favor of... an Adeiny Hechavarria type and a Magneuris Sierra type.

...Actually, comparing these two prospects to those two names might be a compliment. I don't see them coming anywhere close to making a major impact on the major league level.

I've come to learn something over the past year. Peter Bendix and his crew can be many things. But talent evaluators, they are not. Maybe I should be glad we got screwed by the lottery. Even if we got the #1 overall in the 2025 draft, Bendix and his crew would've found a way to screw it up.

They make Jeffrey Loria seem not that bad after all. 

Honestly, I'd compare Peter Bendix more to Gary Denbo. And honestly, from what it looks like, he's making Gary Denbo look good.

That's not a good sign of things to come.

Bendix says Caba is going to be a superstar! And to think I thought this was a bad deal for the Marlins.

The Marlins will be fielding a pretty good tripple a team next year.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have traded him mid season to a contender desperate for reinforcements?  Same with Burger...   Not sure I see the strategic value of the pre-season trade... Anyone care to chime in?

Funny, as I was reading about Caba I was muttering under my breath was anyone ever excited about Adeiny Hechavarria.  Wow!  I can't get excited over a guy with 0 power and an

too funny, as I was reading about Caba I kept muttering Adeiny Hechavarria under my breath.  Wow!  Yeah, I can't get excited about a guy with 0 power and an OPS of .670.  That output just doesn't move the scoreboard and makes zero impact where it matters.

Might as well trade Xavier Edwards now.

Our AAA guys are better hitters than the guys we got from this trade.

Let that sink in.
