    So after trading Stanton, Yelich, Ozuna and Realmuto all the Marlins have to show for it is one good year and one great year from Alcantara. Ozuna has tipped that scale closer to even and if Sandy doesn't regain his front line starter stuff then really all 4 of these trades were down right awful. Well at least they got out from $tanton's millions but so what, they haven't exactly done anything with those savings.

    So we all knew Berry didn’t really have a position, and now you’re telling me the bat won’t transition either? Looking like a great no.6 overall pick. Fabulous.

    Matt Clement 2.0 and 20 years later

    Hah, I had to look it up. At least for the era of kept records, Castillo #2 career after HOFer Rod Carew.

    Would love to see it as Luis was my favorite Marlin, loved how he'd turn infield singles into doubles with stealing 2nd speed. Not sure if it's a kept stat but I would be very surprised if he was not the leader in "INF Singles" during his run with the Marlins.
  6. Russell
    You bring up a very good point that most of these trades will not matter in the Marlins favor, if who they brought back are average at best. For years this team has lacked someone who provides meaningful impact, a hitter that can move the scoreboard.

    A few thoughts: 1) Terrible that going into this season the big club was near awful and at the same time the Farm System even worse. How does that happen? I can't comprehend how a franchise can be terrible at both levels. Such a fail on the previous regimes. As an aside, though relevant for trading prospects for veterans, I still puke when I think that this Franchise once traded Josh Naylor and Luis Castillo for Andrew Cashner. 2) Not mentioned in this article, BUT Xavier Edwards is currently hitting .380 in ~ 100ABs, at what point do we consider this not to be a small sample size? If not done already, please do a write up on the Edwards' outlook as a full-time big leaguer. I need something to cheer for with this putrid team, even more so now that Dane Myers punched himself into injury. 3) In 30 years only two players in the history of the Franchise have moved the needle, D-Train and Jose Fernandez. RIP JF16. And more importantly, I hope those he took with him are at peace as well. Thanks,

    Let's see Marlins just got 3 of the Padres top 5 prospects according to MLB with their # 24 to boot. Don't kid yourself the majority of this package is because of a 2 month rental for Scott, and nothing to do with Brian Hoeing. I'd say I called this one correctly! For a team by my memory that hasn't been to the World Series since 1998 a top flight RP if believed to be a missing piece to compete for a World Series is what it takes to play. Again good job, Mr. Bendix.
  9. Russell
    I have to imagine the closer it gets to 6pm ET deadline leverage swings the other way, curious why Bendix couldn’t trade Scott last night?
  10. Russell
    If I’m the Mariners I would absolutely do this but the Marlins? Marlins should demand getting back either of the Harry Ford, Cole Young or Colt Emerson trio and if the Mariners balk I hang up and immediately dial up the Yankees & Orioles. Scott is a huge chip right now that Bendix has to play and cash in just right, must grab whoever he thinks is the highest ceiling impact bat. And if that’s Peete then OK so be it.

    Bye Jazz, best wishes in da Bronx

    I didn’t realize only under contract for this year and thus the rental BUT Baltimore is in bad shape with Kimbrel and they think a closer is the missing link for a World Series then you never know. In 2003 the Marlins traded the former no.1 overall pick Adrian Gonzalez for Urbina because that was ultimately what they thought was missing and lo and behold they won it. Gonzalez went onto a very solid career, I don’t think the Marlins envisioned him having the power he eventually showed but I’m sure that FO makes that trade again because it did in fact end with a 03’ WS title.
  13. Russell
    Don’t know about Jazz but with Mason Miller injured and the Orioles Kimbrel continuing to be putrid, Bendix needs to leverage Scott NOW and get a King’s ransom from the Orioles. And then send Miller a lovely bouquet.
  14. Russell
    Only going by the prospect ratings of these guys I think the Marlins did great here and GLAD Bendix did not bungle this one like he did Luzardo. Puk means very little on a team going to lose 90+ this year and perhaps next year as well. Next year totally dependent upon the health of Sandy and Eury and further development & health of Cabrera. If Puk can nab 2 top 30 guys then I have to believe that Scott can land 2 top 10 guys. 2 top 5? Good job Mr Bendix
  15. Russell
    2 people in the history of the Marlins have brought people to the stadium, Dontrelle Willis and Jose Fernandez, that's it. I know nothing of Futrell, does he have that type of persona, "panache?" Huge hot take to think that anyone else can be that guy.
  16. Russell
    Clemson pitcher; a 1.58 WHIP is terrible. Control issues?
  17. Russell
    Completely agree with the lack of direction, worst place to be is stuck in the middle indecisive. Terrible team at the MLB level and by all accounts one of the worst farm systems as well, especially at the every day positional players, that has to be hard to accomplish. No identity, no all stars. Perhaps Sanchez is a long-term keeper? And Dillon Head already out for the year, lovely.
  18. Russell
    FO really bungled this one if they can’t get top end prospect talent for Luzardo.
  19. Russell
    Please the imbeciles in the prior regime which still included Mike Hill traded Luis Castillo twice and Josh Naylor for a bucket of balls, drafted Tyler Kolek instead of Rodon. And that’s how you build a franchise of perpetual ineptitude
  20. Russell
    Dane Myers! anyone remember Rick Renteria circa 30yrs ago, “Secret Weapon” Go Dane go. That is all, thank you
  21. Russell
    Beyond being a part if the club, why did Bruce Sherman want to own a franchise? Why did Manfred have such a hard on for Derek Jeter (Sherman too?) that they pushed for the guy to be the owner? Mas making Miami FC the most relevant MLS team, dang would be nice to have translated that to MLB instead.
  22. Russell
    RIP Chuckee
  23. Russell
    Dane Myers! And I have something to root for in this team again :)
  24. Russell
    Jesus Luzardo, Ace! Thru 4 starts winless with an ERA of 7.65 What am I failing to see that all these different pundits boast about?
  25. Russell
    These guys stink
