    If we actually had good starting pitching depth, Edward Cabrera would have likely been DFA'd by now. He should consider himself lucky he doesn't have any actual competition. Dax Fulton and Robby Snelling were the only starters of note, but theyre at least a year away before being ready for the majors. Thomas White is at least 2 or 3 years away, and Noble Meyer isn't impressing anyone.

    We are not getting Jasson Dominguez, and I have serious doubts that Marcelo Mayer is on the table.

    It really makes you wonder why they went way underslot with PJ Morlando just to land Carter Johnson in the first place.

    Edward Cabrera should consider himself lucky he doesn't have any real competition. Otherwise, he'd be diving even deeper down the depth chart and would be on the outside looking in for the 5th starter spot.

    Why is it always the Red Sox who make the Marlins their AAA team every time we pitch to them? I still remember 2003 vivid as day when we gave up 25 runs to them as well.

    Oh, I misread then. I thought you were saying his roster spot was in danger, but it was rather his starting spot. Yeah, his roster spot is for sure secure. He's a better defender than Edwards and Norby, and he's a significantly better defender than any current 3B option the Marlins have. He's their best defensive option in the infield by a mile, and that gives him value. The question is if he can get on base enough to justify keeping him on the roster.
  7. One Regend
    All three of those men are 1B/DH. Otto Lopez is a middle infielder who could potentially fill in at 3rd. Otto Lopez isn't competing with those guys. He's competing with Edwards and Norby. He's also competing with Serna, Sanoja, and Acosta, though most of those guys arent cracking the roster on Opening Day, barring an injury outbreak.

    He shouldn't go anywhere before the ASG. Trading him now would be a massive mistake. He needs time to build up the stock he lost from Tommy John Surgery. If he performs like even 2022 Sandy (I'm not asking for his Cy Young form), he should bring back a premium haul. That said, he's also the face of the franchise and the primary jersey seller. Trading him will also come with its own consequences.

    This was embarrassing to read. Who in the world is this proud of not spending on a team? That is truly disgusting. I get that we're a small market team and that we're not going to outspend the Mets or Dodgers, but this is an incredibly bad look on Bruce Sherman, and it leaves me not very hopeful that he'll spend even when our competitive window is open. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want Jeffrey Loria back. He may have also been a penny pincher, and spent recklessly the rare times he did, but at least he actually tries.

    The last thing this rebuild needs is a PR mess. The less distractions this team has, the better.

    Pivetta was always a someone who had outstanding peripherals but never had the results to back it up. He's a constant headache to whoever team has him for that reason. He clearly has the talent, but has never been able to live up to potential. That said, I think the Padres grossly overspent on him. They've gotten beaten by other teams on a variety of Free Agents, and their deal with Nick Pivetta speaks more about their desperation to sign somebody, rather than how good Nick Pivetta actually is.

    Don't forget he was also pitching half his games in Coors Field. That ballpark has the tendency to deflate pitcher value in all of the wrong ways, even post-humidor. That can mess with a pitcher's head. It's why I don't view road splits from Colorado seasons as highly as some others do. Either way, it's a tank season. You're still losing 105+ games even with a marquee pitcher. Might as well buy low on someone and, if it works out, you could get a piece of the future back at the trade deadline. I mean, what else can the Marlins do at this juncture?
  13. One Regend
    If the infield defense improves (knock on wood), I could see Quantrill being a nice trade piece to get a prospect back in return. A nice buy-low guy for what's going to be a 105 loss season.
  14. One Regend
    Maybe Victor Mesa Jr and Robby Snelling if they overperform on a transcendent level, a lot of the reserves are injured, and Bellozo/Stowers stinks it up. But that would likely be mid-season, not to break out of spring training camp.
  15. One Regend
    I mean this is what happens when your entire farm system is loaded with either 1B/DH prospects or prospects you will never see with an exit velocity above 85, with literally no in-between. I have no idea what Bendix's vision for talent even is, if he even has one, but it provides a bleak outlook for us. Even if Agustin Ramirez and Deyvision De Los Santos both turn into studs, we're either fielding 2 defensive messes, or clogging up the DH slot.

    I'm not expecting immediate results from Sandy coming off TJS, but if he can reach 97 (instead of the 100 i usually expect from him), that'll at least be encouraging to see.
  17. One Regend
    That's a shame. I was lowkey rooting for Daniel Gaitor as one of very few Bahamian players. Unfortunately, this is just a stark reminder that, if you don't perform, you don't stay on the team, no matter where you come from. Especially in a sport that is as cut-throat as Baseball.

    Between 2005 and 2025, I think there are 2 other notable names I would like to mention. Andrew Heaney, and Jordan Holloway. I'll give it to you straight. The Marlins gave up on Andrew Heaney way too soon. Now, that isn't to say he would've changed much with us, but we definitely could've used his services in 2016-2017 when we had a fantastic hitting core but pitching left far too much to be desired. I mean, sure, we got Dee Gordon in that trade, but I still felt like we gave up way too much in that trade to justify the returns we got. As it is, his stint with us is a stark reminder of what that core could have been. Now? He seems to have hit his stride since donning the Dodgers uniform. Jordan Holloway seemed to have found a home as a promising relief pitcher for us, before he got injured. He was a hard-throwing strikeout machine who had command issues, which is typical for a relief pitcher. Now, he seems to have developed the yips, and very likely, his stint with us will likely be his last as a major leaguer.

    I agree with not putting Norby in the 2-hole. 2 hole needs to be guys who are good at getting on base. But 8-hole? I can see dropping him to 5th or 6th, but 8th? That is wasted RBI potential if I have ever seen one.
  20. One Regend
    62-100 projections? That's too generous. I see 110 losses, with a minimum of 105.
  21. One Regend
    To be honest, I have no idea what the Padres saw from Woo-Suk Go when they scouted him. Even if he was the next Francisco Rodriguez, you don't throw around $2.25 million AAV to a strictly bullpen guy who has yet to even prove he could get major league hitters out. That kind of mistake should get A.J. Preller fired, but this trade may very well have saved his job.
  22. One Regend
    He was a promising prospect for us... 2 years ago.
  23. One Regend
    When it comes to spending $0 on Free Agency, I saw this coming long ago. I expected them to sign a couple of inconsequential players that do nothing but clog up roster spots. I wasn't expecting literally $0.
  24. One Regend
    We're poised for a 110 loss season, strength of the schedule or not. Boy, I can't wait to have the best odds of getting the #1 overall draft pick only to drop 6 spots and pick 7th overall again because MLB hates us.

    Extend Eury Perez now. He's not going to pitch until July at the earliest. He's only 21 years old. He's got a lot to prove because of the injury, but that's why it's important to get it done right now before he asks for $250 million. He's the most talented pitcher we've had since Jose Fernandez. Not taking a once-in-a-lifetime chance like this would be incredibly criminal. This is the best possible time to lock a cornerstone player up.
