    I see where you're coming from on both of these guys. With DLS, the issue will be adjusting to the quality of MLB stuff. Even hundreds of PAs at Triple-A can't prepare you for it. When chasing outside the zone vs. MLB pitchers, it's so much harder to make quality contact. He must get more selective at the plate. Strongly considered putting DLS ahead of Ramirez for the reasons you point out.

    Reading the latest FanGraphs report on him, our main disagreement is on his defense. He can be a positive at both infield and corner outfield spots, whereas they have him as a liability. His actions and tools reminds me quite a bit of old friend Brian Anderson, who was a solid 50 FV prior to his shoulder injury.

    More information about "How season-ending injury affects Jesús Luzardo's future with Marlins"
    As relayed to Fish On First by the Miami Marlins on Monday, left-hander Jesús Luzardo remains a long way away from returning to full strength. Sidelined by a lumbar stress reaction since mid-June, Luzardo hasn't even begun a throwing progression yet. He'll rest for at least six more weeks before doing so. Thus far, his rehab has only consisted of bike workouts and forearm and shoulder strengthening. Do the math. The MLB regular season is over in less than eight weeks. Luzardo could be playing catch entering the final two, but restarting a progression from scratch, it's a multi-week process before being cleared to face live batters of any kind. Luzardo will not pitch for the Marlins again in 2024. He logged 66 ⅔ innings across 12 starts, falling short of his career averages in ERA (5.00) and FIP (4.26). His 21.2 K% and 37.0 GB% were both new single-season lows as was his average fastball velocity. The Fish had a 4-8 record with him on the mound. Rumor had it that, if healthy, the Marlins front office was going to shop Luzardo aggressively leading up to the trade deadline. Considering what Trevor Rogers fetched with the same amount of club control remaining—and far lower upside—the offers would have been tempting. Come November when the offseason fully commences and Luzardo should be throwing off a mound at full intensity, will trade negotiations resume? Although Peter Bendix is famously "always having conversations," I have a hard time seeing them leading anywhere. Unfortunately for Luzardo, his prolonged injury absence will cost him millions of dollars. Last year, by making every scheduled start and eating 178 ⅔ innings at a very high quality, he earned a $3.05M raise via arbitration, from $2.45M to $5.5M. This time around, his case looks a lot like 2023 Nestor Cortes, who settled with the New York Yankees at a $750k raise. That would put Luzardo's salary at $6.25M for the 2025 season. That suppressed cost is a boon to Luzardo's trade value. However, it also alleviates some of the pressure on the Marlins to move him now. With Luzardo off the table, Bendix was busy flipping productive veterans who were either in the midst of their arb years or about to enter them. Rogers, Jazz Chisholm Jr., A.J. Puk, JT Chargois and Bryan De La Cruz, all of whom would've been in line for significant pay bumps next season, are out of the picture. That leaves the Marlins' books in pristine condition. In 2025, Sandy Alcantara is owed $17.3M and Avisaíl García will collect $12M, but after Luzardo's estimated $6.25M, no other Marlin comes close. The only other player on a fully guaranteed deal is Woo-Suk Go ($2.25M). The upcoming MLB free agent class is shaping up to be pretty deep when it comes to left-handed starters (Max Fried, Blake Snell, Yusei Kikuchi, Sean Manaea, Andrew Heaney, José Quintana, Clayton Kershaw, James Paxton, etc.). If enough of them finish 2024 healthy, there might not be a team eager to trade let's say 150% of the Trevor Rogers package for Luzardo. Having only two years of club control left narrows Luzardo's market to genuine contenders. It would be very unorthodox, but would Luzardo and the Marlins mutually agree to have him participate in the 2024-25 winter ball season, making a few starts in Venezuela, the Dominican Republic or elsewhere to verify that he's back to 100%? Mending from an arm injury, no way; with this being back-related, perhaps there'd be less anxiety. Taking everything into consideration, I expect the Marlins to hold onto Luzardo for the first half of 2025. He can restore much of his former value if he reverts to his No. 2 starter form. While expectations for next season's Fish ought to be low, those aforementioned trade deadline maneuvers filled the upper levels of the farm system with quality prospects. If several of them makes smooth transitions to the majors, it's within the realm of possibility that they're competitive from the get-go and prefer to utilize Luzardo as a pitcher than a trade asset. Shipping him away before Opening Day would dash that dream.

    After being limited to 12 mundane starts in 2024, Luzardo's trade value would be merely a fraction of what it was last offseason. As relayed to Fish On First by the Miami Marlins on Monday, left-hander Jesús Luzardo remains a long way away from returning to full strength. Sidelined by a lumbar stress reaction since mid-June, Luzardo hasn't even begun a throwing progression yet. He'll rest for at least six more weeks before doing so.

    Offishial News for 8/5/24 On Sunday, Edward Cabrera (5.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K, 98 pitches/60 strikes) held the Braves scoreless. He had to grind for it, averaging more than five pitches per plate appearance. Xavier Edwards extended his on-base streak to 21 games—a 2-for-5 day actually lowered his season-long on-base percentage, from .460 to .458. Jonah Bride is also in the midst of a career-best hot stretch, homering in three of his last five contests (only one homer in his previous 114). The Marlins won, 7-0. It was the first shutout they've pitched since May 24 when Braxton Garrett went the distance against the Diamondbacks. Down on the farm, Double-A Pensacola won, 6-4 and 4-3. INF Jared Serna finished his first week in the Marlins organization with a 1.274 OPS and sealed the second victory with a go-ahead RBI double. LHP Robby Snelling (5.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 63 pitches/48 strikes) had outstanding command in his Blue Wahoos debut. High-A Beloit won, 4-3. INF Josh Zamora went 2-for-4 with a walk. Here's more Marlins news and content: 🔷 Just a few weeks since the previous update, our Fish On First Top 30 prospects list has been refreshed again to incorporate the likes of Serna, Snelling and numerous trade deadline acquisitions. The depth of the Marlins farm system is much improved, though there's still a dearth of high-ceiling players. Beginning on Tuesday, we'll open a new round of public prospect voting where FOF members can submit their own Top 30 lists. 🔷 The Marlins have recently released 27 minor league players to create space for draftees and trade arrivals. Notables include Jonathan Davis and Tanner Allen. Several were due to be minor league free agents following the season anyway, such as Osiris Johnson and Davis Bradshaw. 🔷 Listen back to Sunday's State of the Fish call-in show, reflecting on a chaotic week and the Marlins' surprisingly solid play dating back to the All-Star break. 🔷 Through 36 Marlins series, here's an updated look at the Prediction Time leaderboard. Make series predictions with us all season long when you become a Fish On First SuperSub. 🔷 Anthony Bender has added a four-seam fastball to his pitch mix, explaining to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola that he'll be using it mainly against left-handed batters to change eye levels. 🔷 Happy birthday to Braxton Garrett! The Marlins left-hander turns 27 today. Garrett has a career 110 ERA+ across parts of five major league seasons (all of them in Miami). 🔷 Elsewhere around baseball, the White Sox suffered their 20th consecutive loss. Bob Nightengale of USA Today describes Skip Schumaker as the "leading candidate" to manage the Sox once Pedro Grifol inevitably gets dismissed. The Rangers have lost seven of their last nine, plummeting their playoff odds into the single digits. The Yankees are 6-1 since Jazz Chisholm Jr. made his debut for them. A.J. Puk recorded his first save as a Diamondback, retiring former teammate Bryan De La Cruz for the final out. 🔷 Today's MLB game: the Marlins (probable starter RHP Roddery Muñoz) begin a new homestand against the Reds (RHP Nick Martinez). The Marlins have a 41.3% chance to win, per FanGraphs. First pitch at 6:40 p.m. ET. 🔷 Join us for a new episode of Fish On First LIVE tonight from 5:30-6:30 p.m. ET on YouTube/Twitter/Facebook.

    More information about "Following 2024 draft and active trade deadline, Marlins make massive cuts"
    The quality of the Miami Marlins farm system is much improved from what it was just a few weeks ago. During what's been a nightmarish season at the major league level, the organization has moved aggressively to flip productive big leaguers for prospects who have the potential to capably fill their shoes in the near future. However, it is not possible to simply stockpile players. Roster spots on domestic minor league affiliates are finite. Bringing in new talent requires parting with familiar faces, even those who still have a path to eventually contribute in the majors. Since the final week of July, the following Marlins minor leaguers have been released. This list will continue to be updated through August 6. OF Tanner Allen Acquired in 2021 via MLB Draft (fourth round) 2021 SEC Player of the Year Career .229/.306/.344 slash line (85 wRC+) in 261 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Double-A INF Greyber Altamirano Acquired in 2022 via international free agency Career .202/.292/.290 slash line (63 WRC+) in 93 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Complex League OF Davis Bradshaw Acquired in 2018 via MLB Draft (11th round) Career .303/.368/.375 slash line (112 wRC+) in 380 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Triple-A C Cameron Barstad Acquired in 2018 via MLB Draft (sixth round) Career .214/.315/.347 slash line (90 wRC+) in 252 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: High-A OF Jorge Caballero Acquired in 2016 via international free agency Career .286/.388/.377 slash line (123 wRC+) in 354 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Double-A RHP Paul Campbell Acquired in 2020 via Rule 5 Draft (major league phase) Pitched 16 games for the Marlins in 2021 Underwent Tommy John surgery in 2022 Highest level reached: MLB OF Oscar Colina Acquired in 2021 via international free agency Career .259/.416/.298 slash line (114 wRC+) in 78 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Complex League OF Marty Costes Acquired in 2023 via Rule 5 Draft (minor league phase) Career .234/.310/.305 slash line (63 wRC+) in 71 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Triple-A RHP Kyle Crigger Acquired in 2022 via MLB Draft (seventh round) Career 4.35 ERA/3.86 FIP and 1.29 WHIP in 128.1 IP with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Double-A OF Jonathan Davis Acquired in 2023 via trade; re-signed on a minor league deal entering 2024 Played 34 games for the Marlins in 2023 before season-ending knee injury Played entire 2024 season with Triple-A Jacksonville Highest level reached: MLB 1B/OF Angelo DiSpigna Acquired in 2023 via undrafted free agency Career .239/.375/.408 slash line (124 wRC+) in 76 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Low-A RHP Ignacio Feliz Acquired in 2023 via free agency Career 4.88 ERA/3.58 FIP and 1.37 WHIP in 31.1 IP with Marlins organization Highest level reached: High-A INF Jonathan Guzmán Acquired in 2024 via free agency Career .182/.249/.258 slash line (33 wRC+) in 50 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Triple-A OF Osiris Johnson Acquired in 2018 via MLB Draft (second round) Originally drafted as a shortstop; converted to the outfield in mid-2021 Career .230/.289/.347 slash line (78 wRC+) in 362 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: High-A C Carmine Lane Acquired in 2022 via MLB Draft Career .231/.367/.269 slash line (91 wRC+) in 49 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Low-A C Hudson Livesey Acquired in 2022 via undrafted free agency Son of former Marlins minor league hitting and catching coordinator Jeff Livesey Career .200/.294/.267 slash line (65 wRC+) in eight games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Triple-A OF Chase Luttrell Acquired in 2022 via MLB Draft (13th round) Career .212/.276/.338 slash line (70 wRC+) in 179 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: High-A RHP Josan Méndez Acquired in 2017 via international free agency Career 3.36 ERA/3.51 FIP and 1.20 WHIP in 244.0 IP with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Double-A C Jan Mercado Acquired in 2017 via international free agency Career .203/.295/.301 slash line (72 wRC+) in 226 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Double-A RHP Euri Montero Acquired in 2019 via international free agency Career 5.18 ERA/4.94 FIP and 1.52 WHIP in 133.2 IP with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Low-A INF Gregory Mota Acquired in 2022 via international free agency Career .235/.321//.295 slash line (76 wRC+) in 50 games with Marlins organization Highest level reached: Complex League INF Sean Roby Acquired in 2023 via Rule 5 Draft (minor league phase) Career .193/.261/.304 slash line (68 wRC+) in 46 games with Marlins organization.

    More information about "Miami Marlins 2024 draft pick signings and bonus pool tracker"
    The Miami Marlins made 21 selections in the 2024 MLB Draft and signed 20 of them by the August 1 deadline. In the vast majority of cases, negotiations are done ahead of time—the team knows what the player's "number" is before picking him. However, particularly for prep prospects, signability can be more complicated. Ultimately, they have leverage to play college ball if they aren't fully comfortable with the circumstances. This year, the Marlins had a bonus pool of $10,438,500. The pool applies to players selected during the first 10 rounds and those in the 11th round or later who cost more than $150k. The Marlins were allowed to spend up to 105% of their pool ($10,960,425) without losing future picks. Dollar amounts in bold counted toward the Marlins' bonus pool. The Marlins spent $10,425,000 (99.9% of their bonus pool).
