Offishial news, 1/9/24: Davis returns; spring training ticket prices
Ely Sussman posted an article in Marlins
Here's what you should know with 79 days to go until Marlins Opening Day... Monday’s winter ball notes: In the Dominican Republic, 3B Vidal Bruján went 0-for-4 and RHP Anderson Pilar pitched in relief (1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K).The Marlins re-signed Jonathan Davis to a minor league deal. Davis was something of a good-luck charm last year, playing regularly during the hottest stretch of Miami's 2023 season despite merely putting up replacement-level production himself. He missed the second half of the campaign while rehabbing from meniscus surgery. The Marlins don't have a conventional backup center fielder on their 40-man roster, so Davis has a potential path back to the majors if he impresses in spring training.https://fishonfirst.com/news/jonathan-davis-re-signs-with-marlins-contract-details/Single-game tickets to Marlins Grapefruit League games have gone on sale to the general public. The standard price is $42 per ticket for reserved box seats at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, but it's juiced to $56 per ticket when the Yankees and Phillies come to town. That seems inflated compared to last spring, doesn't it? For context, there are literally thousands of Marlins Opening Day tickets available for less than $42.Elsewhere around baseball, the Cardinals hired Chaim Bloom as an advisor to the president of baseball operations. It figures to be a short-term gig for Bloom—who was previously chief baseball officer for the Red Sox—until he pursues another opportunity to run his own front office.With 129 BBWAA ballots entered into Ryan Thibodaux’s Hall of Fame tracker, former Marlin Gary Sheffield has received 76.7% of the vote (needs 75.0% for election). I’ll continue updating his status in Offishial News as more ballots come in.Episode 6 of "The New Standard" reflects on Jazz Chisholm Jr. hitting grand slams in consecutive games.Show your Miami Dolphins pride during their NFL playoff run by shopping for new gear from our partners at FOCO.Marlins Podcast Episodes Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images -
Personally, there isn't any (realistic) combination of prospects that would make me happy with trading Luzardo right now. Punting on the 2024 season before it begins would be demoralizing considering what they accomplished last year. Somebody like Norby as the centerpiece of an Edward Cabrera trade would be more tolerable.

A valuable role player for the 2023 Miami Marlins, outfielder Jonathan Davis announced on Monday via Instagram that he has re-upped with the organization for another season. Davis' minor league deal includes an invite to spring training. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C12Udivujjm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Davis began 2023 in the Detroit Tigers organization. Desperate for center field depth, the Marlins traded for him on May 22. In 34 games, he slashed .244/.307/.378 with a 85 wRC+ (far better than his career norms), and Miami had a dominant 25-9 record in those appearances. On July 4, Davis suffered a meniscus injury that required season-ending surgery. He has since fully recovered. https://fishonfirst.com/analysis/2023-marlins-season-review-jonathan-davis/Davis was on track to be arbitration-eligible for the first time in 2024. Rather than commit to his projected pay raise and guarantee him a roster spot, the Marlins outrighted him to the minors and he elected free agency. They never really replaced him—trade acquisition Vidal Bruján is another speedster who can contribute in center field, but he's primarily an infielder and has no track record of producing against big league pitching. Re-signing Davis while maintaining roster flexibility is a clear win. Given the extensive injury history of starting center fielder Jazz Chisholm Jr., the Marlins needed insurance like this. Davis will have an opportunity to earn an Opening Day job, something he's only done once before in his MLB career (2021). Photo by Danis Sosa/Fish On First

And Ryan Weathers! He really turned a corner in that final game of the season! 😂 But seriously, I agree. It looks like a "surplus" relative to some other teams who lost SPs to free agency and are reluctant to pay market value to replace them. In terms of what they'll need to compete in 2024, they aren't in a position to subtract anyone.

Offishial news, 1/8/24: Teoscar Hernández signs; Jorge Soler next?
Ely Sussman posted an article in Marlins
Here's what you should know with 80 days to go until Marlins Opening Day... Sunday’s winter ball notes: In the Dominican Republic, 3B Vidal Bruján went 2-for-5. His Estrellas Orientales team has won six straight playoff games and eight of nine overall. In Venezuela, LF Javier Sanoja went 0-for-1 off the bench.Focused on adding to their starting rotation via the trade market, the Yankees "have had serious conversations with the Miami Marlins about Jesús Luzardo and their surplus of starters," according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Although Luzardo's name has been percolating in trade rumors for more than a month, this is the first time we've seen him linked so emphatically to a particular suitor. I'm still of the opinion that Luzardo will not be moved this offseason.Elsewhere around baseball, Sean Manaea (2/$28M) signed with the Mets and Teoscar Hernández (1/$23.5M) signed with the Dodgers. Jeff Passan of ESPN clarifies that Hernández had multi-year offers from other teams, but went in this direction instead. Although he may be technically maximizing his annual earnings, the present-day value of the deal is lower than $23.5M due to $8.5M in deferrals.Héctor Gómez describes the Red Sox as the "frontrunner" to get Jorge Soler, with the Blue Jays, Mariners and Diamondbacks continuing to show interest. No mention of Miami.With 125 BBWAA ballots entered into Ryan Thibodaux’s Hall of Fame tracker, former Marlin Gary Sheffield has received 76.0% of the vote (needs 75.0% for election). I’ll continue updating his status in Offishial News as more ballots come in.Ryan Schlesinger writes about the pros and cons of trading Luzardo.Contrary to what the team originally announced, Marlins FanFest will be a six-hour event (from 4-10 p.m. on January 26).

The Miami Marlins remain open to adding another catcher before Opening Day, but we now know for certain that they won't be reuniting with Jacob Stallings. On Friday, the 34-year-old free agent signed with the Colorado Rockies. Coming off a sub-replacement-level season, Stallings predictably had to settle for a pay cut. He gets $1.5M guaranteed for 2024 plus a mutual option with a $500k buyout that can escalate to $1M, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Last season in Miami, Stallings made a $3.35M salary. He was projected for a slight raise before the Marlins non-tendered him on November 17. When the Marlins traded a package of young players for Stallings, they envisioned him being their primary backstop for the next three seasons (his remaining club-controlled years). Unfortunately, his tenure in Miami was an unequivocal bust, only lasting two campaigns. He disappointed both offensively (63 wRC+) and defensively (-8 DRS). Nick Fortes overtook Stallings as the main Marlins catcher in 2023 despite having his own struggles. https://fishonfirst.com/analysis/2023-marlins-season-review-jacob-stallings/Stallings' top highlights as a Marlin were homering on Opening Day 2022, catching every pitch of Sandy Alcantara's Cy Young-winning season and setting a modern MLB record for most consecutive games caught without allowing a passed ball. https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2022/2022-04/08/2cbe4e3f-5dc225b1-f8134492-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_16000K.mp4In Colorado, Stallings will be the backup to All-Star Elías Díaz. Coincidentally, that's the same relationship they had as teammates with the 2019 Pirates. For what it's worth, Stallings owns a career .899 OPS at Coors Field in nine career games there, his best mark at any National League venue. Stallings joins Dylan Floro (Nationals), Garrett Hampson (Royals), Jorge López (Mets) and Joey Wendle (Mets) as 2023 Marlins players who've signed major league deals this offseason. This is your periodic reminder that the Marlins have not signed any free agents to major league deals themselves. Barely a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, the two backstops on the Marlins 40-man roster are Fortes and Christian Bethancourt. Will Banfield and Paul McIntosh are likely to be at big league camp as non-roster invitees. Photo by Jesus Sanchez/Fish On First

Here's what you should know with 83 days to go until Marlins Opening Day... Thursday’s winter ball notes: In the Dominican Republic, 3B Vidal Bruján went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases. More than two weeks after being designated for assignment by the Marlins, Ryan Jensen was claimed off waivers by the Twins. The Marlins 40-man roster remains full, so another corresponding move will be needed to make room for any further additions.Nearly three months removed from undergoing turf toe surgery, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is facing live pitching. Also encouraging to see Eury Pérez throwing again after ending 2023 with a back injury.https://fishonfirst.com/news/tracking-miami-marlins-injury-rehab-updates/Elsewhere around baseball, Chris Sale signed an extension (2/$38M) with the Braves, Harrison Bader (1/$10.5M) signed with the Mets and Cody Poteet (one-year split contract) signed with the Yankees. You remember Poteet, right? Drafted and developed by Miami, he showed flashes of being a potential back-end starter in 2021 and 2022 before blowing out his elbow. His contract provides a 40-man spot, but he still has to earn his way onto the Opening Day roster.Beginning today at 12:00 p.m. ET, there's an exclusive spring training tickets presale for Marlins Members.Today is the final day to register for free winter clinics being held for baseball and softball players ages 13-18 through the Marlins Youth Academy at Babcock Park.

Here's what you should know with 84 days to go until Marlins Opening Day... Wednesday’s winter ball notes: In the Dominican Republic, 3B Vidal Bruján went 2-for-4. His team, Estrellas Orientales, has now won five of their first six postseason games as they inch closer to the LIDOM championship and a Caribbean Series berth. Marlins coaches Luis Urueta and Wellington Cepeda, who both work for Gigantes del Cibao, won LIDOM's GM of the Year and Manager of the Year awards, respectively.Venezuelan outfielder Luis Cova is in agreement with the Marlins on an international free agent deal. He's eligible to sign on January 15. Cova is 27th on Ben Badler's international bonus board at Baseball America, implying a bonus well above $1M (my best guess is $1.4M). I expect him to rank in the top 15 when we next update our Fish On First Top 30 prospects list.https://fishonfirst.com/farm/luis-cova-marlins-signing-details/Jeff Passan of ESPN describes the Marlins as being in "listening mode" regarding every player with the exception of Eury Pérez. Passan estimates that Jesús Luzardo has the highest trade value among Miami's non-Pérez assets—I think that's stating the obvious given his combination of production, salary and club-controlled years. In case you missed it, FOF's most-read article of 2024 thus far is from Alex Carver, citing three Luzardo trade proposals.The Marlins promoted Tiago Pinto to chief marketing officer and Robert Gelman to vice president, head of partnership development and strategy. Also, Sara Sanchez has been hired as vice president of human resources.Ryan Jensen remains in DFA limbo. We should have clarity about his status by the end of this week.Elsewhere around baseball, Korean reliever Woo-Suk Go (2/$4.5M) signed with the Padres.With 109 BBWAA ballots entered into Ryan Thibodaux’s Hall of Fame tracker, former Marlin Gary Sheffield has received 74.3% of the vote (needs 75.0% for election).

While we continue to wait on the Miami Marlins to spend on major league free agent deals, they're poised to add international amateur free agents later this month. Ely Sussman previews the 2024 international signing period and future Marlins outfielder Luis Cova, then reflects on the organization's recent track record of international signings. Subscribe to the Fish On First YouTube channel to watch video versions of every episode of The Offishial Show. Ben Badler of Baseball America reported on Wednesday that toolsy Venezuelan teenager Luis Cova has a deal in place with the Marlins. Dozens of other international amateurs are also expected to sign with the Fish once they're eligible to do so on January 15, though Cova's name is the only one we currently have. https://fishonfirst.com/farm/luis-cova-marlins-signing-details/The international free agent process doesn't garner nearly the same attention as the MLB Draft, but keep in mind, 15 of the players (37.5%) on Miami's current 40-man roster broke into professional baseball that way. That includes Sandy Alcantara, Luis Arraez and Eury Pérez. However, the only Marlins 40-man players who were signed internationally by the Marlins are Pérez, Edward Cabrera, Victor Mesa Jr. and George Soriano—the others originally signed with other clubs and were acquired later in their careers. To build a sustainably competitive organization on a limited budget, the Marlins must become more proficient at identifying international talent.

Luis Cova to headline Marlins' 2024 international free agent class
Ely Sussman posted an article in FOF Prospects
The Marlins are expected to sign Luis Cova, an outfielder from Venezuela, when the next MLB international free agent period opens on January 15, according to Ben Badler of Baseball America. Cova will receive the 27th-highest signing bonus of the 2024 international class and the highest of any Marlins signee, though Badler doesn't specify what the dollar amount is. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1pJI09OYIQ/?hl=enTurning 17 years old on February 1, Cova is listed by Baseball America at 6'2" and 175 lbs. BA describes him as "one of the most exciting prospects in Venezuela" and MLB Pipeline says he's "among the best pure athletes in this class." He hits and throws righty. Both outlets corroborate that Cova recently transitioned from shortstop to the outfield. BA says he "should be able to stick in center field long term," while Pipeline adds that he "takes good routes to fly balls and has shown solid range." More from Pipeline on Cova: Pipeline gives Cova 50 or better scouting grades for all of his tools, led by 55-hit and 55-field. Despite his inexperience, he'll immediately vault into the conversation for best Marlins position player prospect (not much competition for that distinction at the moment). This agreement between Cova and the Marlins has been in place for well over a year. Cova trained at Venezuela's Just Prospect baseball academy and there are photos of him wearing a Marlins cap on their Instagram account as far back as October 2022. That suggests Miami's former senior director of international operations, Adrian Lorenzo, was heavily involved in the acquisition. Lorenzo told Fish On First's Kevin Barral that the 2024 class would include "a couple centerfield type profiles that are really going to jump out from the tools and physicality standpoint.” Cova seems to fit that description. https://fishonfirst.com/news/marlins-international-free-agency-2024/Just Prospect is the same academy that worked with Marlins OF Andrés Valor before he turned pro. Valor received a $520k signing bonus and enjoyed a productive debut season with DSL Miami (.294/.360/.466, 116 wRC+, 5 HR, 21 SB in 51 G). Similarly, Cova is likely to spend his entire age-17 season in the Dominican Summer League. The 27th-ranked player on Ben Badler's 2023 bonus board, Yoeilin Céspedes, signed with the Boston Red Sox for $1.4M, giving us a pretty good idea of what Cova's bonus from the Marlins will be. That number would make Cova the Marlins' most expensive international free agent signing since Yiddi Cappe (2021) and account for 21.5% of the club's $6.52M total bonus pool for the 2024 signing period. -
