    I wonder the same. This looks like the same ol’ Edwards-to-SS-Otto-to-2B situation. I get that Gus is pretty young and can get better, but also, halts his potential development as a dependable 1B. Give the guy some reps there and catch once or twice a week, max. I’m all in for waiting until mid August to bring Mack up, but DO IT.

    Bold move, but for sure a No-Go from Sherman's perspective (wallet). Take a look at these 5 players for a potential trade with the Fish: 1. Chad Stevens (LAA) 2. Tyler Locklear (SEA) - This one might be "expensive" 3. Blaine Crim (TEX) - Can be extra-cheap to get 4. Cody Freeman (TEX) 5. Wil Wilson (CLE) Either 3B or 1B who have nothing to prove in AAA and have no space/opportunities with their MLB teams. Except for Locklear, none of them are or have been a high-ranked prospect, which might come cheap on a trade, Do not hurt giving any of them a shot.

    I agree with many things here, except for the main one: DO NOT trade Sandy (Neither Eddy). Cabrera has never pitched more than 99 2/3 innings. Weathers and Garrett are injury-prone and will be on an innings limit. Eury just came back from TJ, so he is also limited this year and probably next year as well. We still don't know how Snelling and Mazur are going to pan out. White is looking more like 2027. In conclusion: You don't have an innings-eater except for Sandy, and $17M for him next year is not a whole lot. But I do agree with you in trading Bender, Faucher, and Fortes. Luckily, Bendix and his team have an eye for bullpen hidden gems. so they could fix the bullpen after those two are gone. The obvious candidate after Fortes is Mack. What they need to fix are 3B and 1B because of the reasons you gave above. De Los Santos is probably not the answer, as he strikes out a lot and doesn't have good pitch recognition. And Jacob Berry... he's not even a 3B anymore. As for CF, Marsee has played half his innings there in JAX, so why not give him the chance in Miami? What I am more afraid of is that Miami has to send $10M to the Yankees each year from 2026-2028 because of the Stanton trade... this CHEAP OWNER is going to use that as an excuse not to spend any money.

    I'd trade Bender and Faucher, just as last year they traded Hoeing and Scott. I understand it won't be the same return, but still important. My moves: 1. Bender & Faucher to NYM for Mauricio. OR the same two arms for Freeland (LAD) OR same two for Hao-Yu Lee (DET) OR same two for Stevens (LAA) 2. Fortes to SD or SF for any low-to-mid ranked prospect, whoever gives me the best return 3. Trade away Jeezy or Myers if the return involves a top prospect. Call-ups after the trades: 1. Soriano and Tarnok/Rooney. Henríquez takes over as closer, with Bachar and Simpson as SUs. 2. Joe Mack 3. Any from Marsee, DLS, Mesa Jr., or Troy Johnston... depending on who was traded. Call it a season.
  5. Hans Herrera
    Couldn't agree more with you.

    I also think the Marlins should not trade Sandy, nor Eddy. Here is my take: the team is a tad below average offensively, and with a few tweaks in the rotation and bullpen, there is a good chance this is a Wild Card contender as soon as next year... hell, even this year's contention is one or two bats away (3B and/or 1B), plus a bona fide closer. If they decide to wait until next year, then why not get one or two players via Free Agency? The Marlins have the lowest payroll in the MLB. You literally cannot get any cheaper. The farm system is not strong, but it's not that terrible either. That's why my take is to get prospects for all the veteran bullpen arms (Bender, Faucher, Bachar, Quantrill, if there is anyone interested...), and also Fortes... maybe Jeezy too, but I'd rather him to stay.
  7. Hans Herrera
    And a propos on Starters signed by less than $5M: Even though Quantrill looks every bit of what they signed him for, he’s still the wrong Q, as Jose “Lelo” Quintana is having yet another great season 🙃
  8. Hans Herrera
    Wow. An entire article about s***** free agents signed by the Marlins without naming the second-highest paid Marlin this season. That’s remarkable! Also, no love for Wags? I think he’s almost the same as Q: Not good but usable. The bar is actually extremely low.
  9. Hans Herrera
    Moreover, I wonder if the analytics have been / can be applied to old footage from Marlins’ players and prospects, something as like “retroactive analytics” in order to understand what went right and wrong with previous players and prospects, including previous drafts, of course.
  10. Hans Herrera
    I don't think it is a good idea to trade him at his lowest value. Keep working on the mental part and the pitching analytics, hoping for better results in the second half. Even more, if the team finishes the year on a high note (say, around 72-75 wins), I say they should keep him for next year. They would probably get better return by trading Weathers or even Meyer.
  11. Hans Herrera
    #DontTradeEddy He still has 3 years under control, and I agree with Alex that IT LOOKS LIKE the Marlins can actually compete within 3 years, if so, we need him. As much as I like Thomas White, he does not have the potential Eddy still has, who I believe hasn't reached his peak yet! I think the ones gone by the trade deadline are Jesús Sánchez, Anthony Bender, Nick Fortes, and maybe Faucher. I don't think they'll get enough for Sandy, and no team will offer enough for Cabrera - at least what the FO thinks is worth him.
  12. Hans Herrera
    ASG: Not a single vote for Ronny Henríquez? 🙃
  13. Hans Herrera
    I think you could perfectly include Calvin Faucher in that group. He had a rough start of the year, but apart from that 6-run outing vs the Cubs, he's been excellent. Also, has closing experience, which is appealing to other clubs. With three more years of club control, many teams can be interested in him, with a decent return. Even I had my doubts about Eddy Cabrera, but he has been solid since May. Now that Weathers is out for several months and Meyer is still on the shelf, I don't think it is a good idea to trade him. The rotation is looking better for the second half: Sandy-Eddy-Eury-Quantrill + I guess Junk or Bellozo should do it until Max comes back.

    Edwards at 2B and Lopez at SS? No s***. Who outta thought.

    1. It's only been two games, but Gus' defense has not been horrific. You can ask Max Meyer. He has to improve, yes, but he has two games under his chest guard. 2. I think that question can be answered more quickly whenever Fortes comes back from the IL. Are they sending him back down? Or returning Hicks to the White Sox? Or optioning someone else (Pauley, Simon)? Kind of a good problem to have, and the Jumbo Shrimp has FOUR catchers on its roster... clearly, a 5th is not needed. 3. DLS: We all hope for the best from him, but so far this 2025, he has 28 K's in 90-ish ABs... No bueno.
  17. Hans Herrera
    Good for Wags!
  18. Hans Herrera
    is it just me, or the fact that this team is scoring runs keeps everyone enjoying this season? A bit better outcome from the starters and some small tweaks in the bullpen, and this team can look dangerous!
  19. Hans Herrera
    BTW, Quantrill is looking terrible. lots of hard contact, not fooling anyone, barely surviving 5 innings. I know it's early, but the other "Q" (José Quintana) is looking like an ace compared to Cal.
  20. Hans Herrera
    OK, in-game question: Say Hicks pinched-hit for Brantly in the 6th. The very next inning, Mervis replaced Bride as DH. If Hicks had an injury in the 8th inning, who could have been the Marlins' emergency catcher in this case? Bride caught 11 games in the minors in 2022, but I dunno about any of the other players. Sanoja? Wags? Low probability, but a tad risky.
  21. Hans Herrera
    I guess the pitcher to be sent down will be Arias, but Soriano deserves it better. Bride won't be sent down coz he has no options left, and he also started kind of slow last year before catching fire late in the season. Then it comes to choosing between Wagaman (3 options left), Pauley (2), and Conine (3). My money would go to Pauley.
  22. Hans Herrera
    As of today, Sandy. He should be the first player to spend his entire career in Miami. Apart from him, and again as of today, none. Hear me out: Edwards has only half of a successful season. Norby hasn't even started. Eury needs to be evaluated after recovering from the surgery. Jesús has been pretty inconsistent. All of the other starters are often injured. None of the position players are worth a long shot until they prove they are MLB players for at least a full season. If Edwards does good this season, then lock him up! As for the prospects, let them play in the big leagues first, and then we'll see. Scott Kingery, Evan White, anyone? We don't have the Acuña, Merrill, or Chourio-type of prospects.
  23. Hans Herrera
    Interesting to see the age groups! Pitching staff: No pure "prospect" (younger than 25) but lots of 26-27, so there's still a tiny bit of room for improvement. Only two pitchers older than 27 and none above 29. Position players: 8 out of 12 players are 25 or younger! I think this is great. More importantly, the "youngsters" are actually the ones playing most of the time, as Almora, Navarreto, and Winkler were on the bench most of the weekend. DLS and Ramírez: 7 and 5 strikeouts... ouch!
  24. Hans Herrera
    I'm not the biggest fan of Bellozo, but he continues to prove that he's a decent option for the 5th spot (or 3rd spot, in this case). I'll take 4.1 innings of 1-run ball any day, and he could have completed 5 innings for sure. I guess sending him down has more to bring a fresh arm to the bullpen, as a 5th starter won't be needed until the 8th of April, at least I hope it's that.
  25. Hans Herrera
    Speaking of which, can we get projected depth charts for JAX, Pensacola, and Beloit? I'm still not sure about the Jumbo Shrimp rotation.
