...is Johnston. Hopefully we bite the bullet and release Avi. I'm also liking Bride, Gray, and Edwards. I'm not liking Brujan. Plus I like that Berry and Banfield are hitting. They could contribute next year. I like how Luzardo, Eury, Puk, and Ed looked. I don't like that Garrett and Rogers don't have stats yet. I like Soriano too. And Muñoz. I didn't like Weathers and Smeltzer. I like that Bender is back! I hate that Simpson got rocked twice. My biggest concerns were Avi, Brujan, and SP depth. It's early, but I feel like it's going the way I thought it might.

Prospects Marlins traded away
Chad Turner replied to Chad Turner's topic in Marlins Minor League Talk
Yes, there were a ton of major leaguers we traded away. I was just focusing on prospects that are still currently ranked as minors prospects. -
Segura was 2 years older, out of shape, and playing a new position, which didn't go well either. That being said, the SS market was down, and it was either a low ceiling, high floor guy like Rosario or a high ceiling, low floor Anderson. The Marlins are projected to be at the low end of the middle of the pack (77-80 wins). Tim could either rebound and get you to the playoffs, or suck and get you a better draft pick. If you want to argue a move, the Brujan one gets my vote. We gave prospects up for an out-of-options dude that will be playing in Korea in a year, taking a spot away from Edwards.

I think there should be a cap and a floor. The cap should work similar to the NBA. The floor should be $100mm and go up $10mm/yr for 5 years. Teams could violate the floor for 1 year (full rebuild). The closer the ceiling and floor is, the better the product. Look how successful the NFL is with parity. When will MLB learn?

He had 12 errors last year. For comparison, Bell had 4. Factor in that he will be 27 midseason and you have a replacement level AAAA player. I doubt his base stealing will translate to the majors. But I like him and think he could be the next Cooper/Aguilar/Bour type that we keep fielding. As Marlins fans, we have half the MLB type prospects these other teams have. So we are comparing him to scrubs, which makes him look better.

Here is a list of Marlins prospects we traded and their highest ranking for their new team (and who we got) 3 Eder (Burger) 5 Hurt (Floro) 6 Vargas (Robertson) 7 Suarez (Edwards, Chargois) 7 Watson (Bell) 10 Johnson (Edwards, Chargois) 13 Nicolas (Stallings) 14 Nuñez (Rule 5) 15 Chourio (Arraez) 18 Salas (Arraez) 19 Hernandez (Robertson) 20 Misner (Wendle) 20 Lindsey (Brujan) 30 Reynolds (Weathers) 32 Lara (Brujan) 34 Allen (Davis) Now that Edwards has graduated, the only real prospect we have via trade is Amaya. That's 16 out and 1 in. This is the real reason our farm stinks.

The odds of the Cabrera trade happening seem to be plummeting. If Anderson accepts his offer, this makes Berti back to a bench+ role. He's 33 and coming off his best year. With his speed and versatility, he's the perfect piece for a contender, similar to MiggyRo. With his favorable contract (arb 4 in '25), I bet we get 2 good prospects. I love Berti, but he's due for some regression. We have Brujan, Gordon, and Edwards, I highly doubt we DFA Brujan since we just traded for him. Gordon is versatile, and Edwards has nothing left to prove in AAA. We have a much better chance of a title with Sandy back, Avi off the books, and a stable of prospects. Spend next year when we will need a closer and a 1B. Let's hope one of our AAAA guys turns into something. We should have a clearer picture next offseason.

I thought we should have traded Sandy instead of Pablo last year. He was coming off a workhorse year where he won the cy young. Imagine the haul. I agree we need to trade Arraez and Scott. Our minors are so thin. They just had career years. But we could wait till the. deadline to deal them. If we are having a miraculous season and are in the playoffs at that time, we could keep them and extend.

Yep. Somehow I forgot to type Groshans anyway. I guess I jinxed him.

1B Johnston 26 HRs SS Gray 30 SS Amaya 15 3B Myers 16 LF Burdick 24 CF Mesa Jr 18 RF Conine 20 C Banfield 23 3B Bride 13 SS/2B/3B Devers 7 Bench: these guys only got a half season worth of ABs last year. OF Costes 6 C Pereda 6 C McIntosh 14 C/1B Hostetler 14 CF Davis 7 OF/1B Mancini 6 That group hit 239 HRs last year. I haven't seen numbers like that out of a Marlins minor league team ever. The concerning number is that they amassed 1504 Ks. Notes: As of now I have Brujan (who is out of options), Myers, and Edwards making the opening day roster. There's no way we have 3 SS and 4 C or 15 total. But all these guys will spend time in AAA unless they get cut. Thoughts?

Are the Marlins going to hire one? What is the delay? Bendix is President of Baseball Ops and we list 4 Assistant GMs. Is this our new structure?
