    Kevin Barral. Please. How are you going to talk about the Liam Hicks trade and not talk about the Ryan Weathers trade? Trading Hicks at least made sense given the team depth context, even if I disagreed with the move. Trading Weathers made zero sense no matter what angle you look at it. I guess their hope was that one of Robby Snelling or Thomas White would take over the wheel, but both got injured in 2026, and neither are likely to see a substantial amount of time in 2026. What this did was force several of their effective bullpen arms to become 4 inning starting pitchers and turned their bullpen into a leaky gasfire. Meanwhile, Weathers had a breakout season in New York and filled out many of the innings that Miami sorely missed. And, no, none of the prospects they received in return can throw 5+ innings every 5 days at any level, minor leagues or major leagues. That trade doomed the season before it even began.

    Graham Pauley was given a plethora of opportunities to play at the major league level, but his bat was never able to stick. It's unfortunate, because the Marlins really, really need a 3rd baseman. They don't have anyone outside of a super-utility Javier Sanoja, and beyond that, is moving Aiva Arquette off of SS. (if he even continues to develop) God forbid Otto Lopez goes down to injury and Javier Sanoja has to switch to SS.

    The first question I gotta ask: Where's Jakob Marsee? Second question I gotta ask: Why Isiah Kiner-Falefa? He's literally Leo Jimenez but more expensive.

    I'm looking at the free agent market, and I'm not seeing a whole lot of guys worth putting investment in. Maybe betting on Kris Bubic to stay healthy? Maybe betting on David Peterson to maintain his Cubs form? Maybe hope that Robbie Ray's decline in strikeouts were an abberation? Because I looked at the Corner Infielder market (the thing Miami needs just as much as rotation depth), and no one there is worth gambling on.

    That's because he was.

    I was honestly expecting Miami to be cheap and decline the option, and let him walk into Free Agency. I'm pleasantly surprised they picked up his option. They knew the starting rotation would be a mess without him. After Max Meyer and Eury Perez, who else was going to be in the rotation that you could count on? Ryan Gusto? Junk is a relief pitcher being given starter duties out of necessity, and Phillips is far more effective in the bullpen. Robby Snelling is going to miss at least half a season to Tommy John, and I'm not even sure Thomas White will be healthy enough for Opening Day. If they didn't pick up Sandy, I don't know what they'd do with the rotation.

    I'm probably sounding like a broken record by saying this, but what really put this season six-feet-under for the Marlins was the Ryan Weathers trade. Again, I don't care how good the prospects were, none of them were throwing 5+ innings every 5 days with strikeout upside. And that was what the Marlins sorely needed down the stretch. Still having Weathers also meant our bullpen was better by proxy, because that means one of Gusto/Phillips/Junk would've gone to the bullpen.

    Yes. Let's deem a cornerstone player at SS with talent that is comparable to a 22-year-old Francisco Lindor "not untouchable". That won't piss off the fans at all.

    The Marlins can hire as many former Rays execs as they can, but it won't mean a damn thing unless they change their player development philosophy. The Rays does what the Marlins don't: Put players in the best positions to succeed. And they use analytics to figure this out, which the Marlins are struggling to do. Until this changes, they are going to continue to be a farm team for the Dodgers and Yankees.

    I guarantee you if Joe Mack had played and been on the roster the full season he'd be a finalist.

    The Phillies aren't going to win championships with Don Mattingly. Mattingly proved it with the Dodgers, he proved it with the Marlins, and he proved it this year with the Phillies. And now, the Phillies are aging, physically declining, have underwater contracts, and they have key players leaving in Free Agency. Make of that what you will.

    I expect bare minimum Steven Okert. He's already familiar with the Marlins organization, having revitalized his career there, and he's still a productive lefty reliever today. Sean Newcomb would be an okay fallback plan. And while Morejon would be perfect, I doubt we're getting him. Someone like the Dodgers will overpay for him.

    I do think Miguel Rojas was a great utility player, but the lack of depth at SS basically forced Rojas to be an every day starter even though he wasn't cut out to be an everyday starter. Kind of the same problem we have at 3rd Base with Javier Sanoja, now that I think about it. We just have no clearcut answer at 3B except for maybe Aiva Arquette, and that's if he develops well. Sanoja, like Rojas before him, is merely a stopgap. Who knows. Maybe we might not need Aiva and Sanoja becomes an All-Star?

    Out of all the starting pitchers talked about, only Robbie Ray has a high enough upside to chase. (And, even then, his decline in strikeout rate raises a red flag.) Steven Okert and Adrian Morejon (either of them) would also a nice boon to the bullpen that desperately needs a reliable lefty. I doubt we're getting Morejon though. Someone like the Dodgers is going to pick him up.

    Sure, let's hire a guy that got carried by high-end talent. Surely, nothing could possibly go wrong!
