    The last time the Marlins were aggressive on developing a teenager, it turned into the disaster-class that is Andrew Salas. Now, I'm not saying that Solarte will go down the Andrew Salas path, but caution must be considered when it comes to rushing young talent as being too aggressive with promoting them can damage their confidence. We've seen it play out with Andrew Salas all season long in 2025, and he was inexplicably never demoted at any point. It took until halfway through 2026 until the Marlins realized their mistake.

    That blown call stinks. But Shane Livensparger wasn't the guy that let Leo Jimenez clog up a roster spot that De Los Santos, or even a slumping Kemp Alderman, would've made better use of. I feel more confident with those two players at the plate than Leo Jimenez. Shane Livensparger also wasn't walking the farm like Victor Vodnik. Shane Livensparger also wasn't refusing to stop the bleeding like Victor Vodnik and Cade Gibson. Shane Livensparger also wasn't going 3-for-13 with Runners in Scoring position. Shane Livensparger also isn't the manager in the dugout who continues to give a guy with less than .600 OPS (Leo Jimenez) continue to get meaningful ABs with the game on the line. You can point the blame at Shane Livensparger all you want. But there's plenty of blame to go around, and I don't think Shane Livensparger is one of them.

    You say he chose a bad time to slump, but I'd rather have him at the plate with 2 runners in scoring position and 2 outs, down a run, against Philly, than Leo Jimenez.

    I'm just shocked. We had Kemp Alderman literally start games at 1B at AAA. We had an easy move to put Kemp on the 40-man roster: Just transfer William Kempner to the 60-day IL. Kempner's not returning this season. Hell, Alderman doesn't even need to always be at 1B. He could switch places with Conine here and there. But bringing Pauley up, despite there being several better upgrades, reinforces the one thing I was deathly afraid of: This organization is content with mediocrity.

    I concur. They had the easy move of sending William Kempner to the 60-day IL. He's not returning anytime soon, and it's not like the Marlins will be in the playoff hunt come September. Might as well get Alderman's hacks in.

    A battle between two mid teams? Time to see which team is more mid than the other. Marlins 2-1. MVP: Otto. Let's see if Otto can finally break out of his dry streak.

    Is this finally the time where Kemp Alderman gets called up? They have a very easy move they can make to make this happen: Move William Kempner to the 60-day IL.

    It's things like this that is the reason why I'm glad they didn't trade Sandy. Yes, we could have gotten a good package of prospects for him. Yes, he will walk away in free agency with next to nothing to compensate for it. But letting him stay so that he can break franchise records means so much to the fans. Letting him live out his contract on his own terms means a lot to both the fans and Sandy himself. Personally, I would've been upset if they traded him with 2.1 IP left to go to break the franchise innings pitched record, because that means they value spreadsheets over symbolism. I argue that was the only good move they made during the deadline, was to not trade this guy.

    The thing that confuses me is why they didn't have him work on 1B during his minor league stint. Or why they didn't have him take grounders at 1B this spring. Why now, of all times, did they finally have him work on 1B?
  10. One Regend
    Wow. It's almost like they should've done this from the very start of the season. It's almost like watching a caveman experience fire for the first time.

    yes the marlins are a better team with a guy with negative WAR, yeah that makes total sense

    The Angels didn't win. The Marlins simply just beat themselves to lose.

    I'm still shocked they never addressed 3rd Base. I get not shopping for Reid Detmers after the 12-game losing streak, but to spend the entire deadline doing nothing but sell off pieces and play musical chairs with the bullpen? Come on, at least try. There were 3rd Basemen on the market they could've traded for, and if they truly thought 2026 wasn't going to be their year, then at least get a 3rd Base prospect who is a year away from being ready, at a position that's blocked at the MLB level, ready to contribute in 2027. All I saw this deadline were goose eggs. Unacceptable.

    I consider Atlanta the litmus test of how the Marlins team stacks up in the playoff picture. The Marlins have failed that test. This was a winnable series. The Braves are mortal right now. Their hitting isn't clicking, and they are sending some bad pitchers against us. Bryce Elder is throwing 88 mph meatballs while having concerning underlying metrics, and while Grant Holmes is slightly better, his FIP and his underlying metrics also suggest otherwise. These were two pitchers the Marlins needed to beat up. ...And all they did was score 3 runs in 2 games. That's not going to cut it at the playoff level. Maybe they were validated in selling off the way they did. Having Hicks would not have made the difference here.

    Man, I really feel like I'm Nostradamus sometimes.

    I bid farewell to the most overrated prospect in Marlins circles. I wish him luck elsewhere. Maybe he'll find his stroke somewhere else, but it wasn't going to be found here, that's for sure. Even though Jacob Berry clinched a championship for Jacksonville, he provided nothing of value to the major league organization itself. Very disappointing when there have been talented players like Chase DeLauter, Cole Young, Cade Horton, and Zach Neto that have been drafted after him. I'm not even going to go over guys like Nolan McLean, Drake Baldwin, and Roman Anthony, who were drafted in later rounds. With yet another first round bust gone, it's only a matter of time before Noble Meyer is shown the door. And then we can finally close the book on D.J. Svihlik. I'm honest to god shocked that guy kept his job as long as he did with how many first-round busts he fished up.

    yeah at this point i'd rather see Brian Navarreto and his anemic bat behind the plate than see agustin there. seriously gus is not a catcher. i dont know what the front office is smoking.

    I'm looking at the box score and I can't help but notice First 7 innings (Mack): 0 WP The last 2 innings (Gus): 1 WP I couldnt watch the game so I don't know if the pitch was blockable, but it's wild how not even 2 innings and there's already a Wild Pitch.

    I'm stunned they never addressed 3rd Base. They're truly just punting this season. They had an opportunity to one-up the braves, who were losing steam and did nothing at the deadline, and all they did was sold off pieces and played musical chairs with the bullpen. I'm beyond pissed they even entertained the idea of trading Otto Lopez. I would say they are forced to get a 3rd Baseman off of Free Agency, but looking at the list, the only one worth considering is Alec Bohm, and everyone on Planet Earth knows the Dodgers are buying him, even if they don't need him. Aiva Arquette is nowhere close to being MLB-ready, and honestly, neither are the prospects we got for Liam Hicks. So we're stuck without a 3rd Baseman until at least 2028. Legitimately one of the more tepid Trade Deadlines I've seen.

    The Braves are mortal right now. I can see the Marlins sneaking away with a series win. Especially when they are now back to being hot again. 2-1 Marlins. MVP: Joe Mack.
  21. One Regend
    I want to think this trade is more about clearing the way for Kemp Alderman, who the Marlins can't afford to keep lingering around in AAA for much longer. With Mack behind the plate, and Stowers doing Stowers things while being decent at 1B, there's no real way to get Liam Hicks playing time. That said, I do agree that this is a gamble, with the possible upside of Alderman elevating this team's starved offense, to the possible downside of Alderman not being able to adjust to MLB pitching. I get the skepticism. I'm also afraid of the idea that Alderman could end up being a AAAA guy, which is the fear of relying on your farm system. Also, this does not solve the catching position. If Joe Mack gets a day off, who's getting catcher reps? I certainly hope not Agustin Ramirez. Gus is destined for 1B/DH duties. Regardless, I'm hoping the Marlins came away with a buying move. I can smell blood in the water, with the Braves losing steam, and their GM doing nothing at the deadline. If there's a time to make a move, it's right now. Update: Nothing. It's a soft sell this year. Kind of a lame deadline, honestly.

    The Marlins weren't going to use Braxton Garrett anyway, good on them for finding a trade partner that will actually give him opportunities to play. I'm surprised at the trade return they got for him, because this could've easily been a nothing trade. Garrett had done nothing since 2023, and his underlying numbers were very concerning heading into the deadline. I guess the Cubs are just desperate for healthy pitchers. I'm hoping Bendix swings a buying move at the trade deadline, though. The Marlins are getting hot again, the Braves are losing steam, and Alex Anthopoulos is sitting around twiddling his thumbs at the trade deadline.
  23. One Regend
    Interesting choices. Both infield prospects are blocked at 2B and SS, though. They do have promise, but their only lanes to playing reps are at 3B, who they will have competition with in Aiva Arquette. I do anticipate the Marlins might swing a buying move, using Starlyn Caba as trade bait due to the logjam up the middle, as his elite defense and range would be wasted at 3B. If not Starlyn Caba, then Brandon Compton, as I do envision cashing out on him before his strikeout rate becomes an unignorable problem.

    If Stowers gets traded, that makes room for Kemp Alderman. Though, ideally, a move like that would best be done in the offseason not to disrupt team chemistry. Losing Liam Hicks already hurts our offense, who needs any extra runs they could muster. It's best they don't exasperate this issue any further by also trading Stowers. I'm not even going to go over the what-ifs of mid-season injuries. Cam Cannarella is good, but we shouldn't rush him to the majors this year to patch together our already shaky offense.

    This might be a season where the Marlins do literally nothing at the trade deadline. Most of what they have is underperforming 1-year vets that won't garner interest, and younger, actually performing players with gobs of years of control. If they didn't have the 12-game losing streak, this would be a prime opportunity to buy. But that 12-game losing skid put a stop to those plans. Since the marlins literally have either 0 trade value, or so much team value it'd be dumb to give it up, with no in-between, the best course is to just do nothing. What is the Marlins upside this year? Make the 3rd Wild Card spot and get absolutely blown out by the Cubs? Best to just do nothing, and make improvements over the offseason. The only actually useful trade piece they have is Sandy Alcantara, and they're not willing to trade a franchise icon. Doing so would weaken their already dire starting rotation depth, not to mention deny the fans the opportunity to witness Sandy breaking the Marlins franchise all-time record of Innings Pitched. Bruce Sherman says he isn't going anywhere, and that is ultimately the right call to make.
