Sell! Sell! Sell! Discussion

I hate the whole "but their inexperienced" thing

If we're going to make a run, that means we have to change things. If we can't be buyers, that means you look internally, and Logan and Maybin are those two guys.

[Big Z]

It sucks to say this but throwing Maybin in CF right now is throwing in the towel. He hasn't proved a thing, while given two opportunities to be our starting CF. However, Maybin tends to get hot around this time of year so idk what to say.

did he really call bonerface talented?

Marlins pursuing relief help
The Marlins are actively pursuing Major League-ready bullpen help by Saturday's Trade Deadline. Indications are the team is confident it will land an arm who can help for a final stretch run.

It's unclear if the team is shopping outfielder Cody Ross to land the big-league ready reliever. The Marlins primarily are in need of left-handed relief help. Taylor Tankersley is the lone lefty in the bullpen.

It's not like we couldnt deal Ross post July 31st.

Pretty much 100% he gets claimed, and in the offseason, hard to sell teams on us tendering him a contract to be our 4th OF. Now or never to deal him (unless we're done with Maybin, that influences a lot).
--------------------

One source said it may go down to whether the Marlins win or loss on Friday at the Padres.

I lol'd. Frisaro is the worst.

BIGGEST GAME OF YEAR

[Beef]

Based on me, this is the biggest game ever

[Swifty]

U no it?!!

[Beef]

It is funny to me that the Craig, Mrs. Cody and Mrs. JJ interview was so fucking awkward that they decided to show the National Anthem which they tend to never do.

[FishFanInPA]

Biggest game of the year on Volstad's shoulders. ugh

[LocoMarlinFan]

Mass confusion on Cody Ross' status. All I can tell you is one team that asked #Marlins today was told "available if price is right" #trades

#Braves still look like team in hardest on Cody Ross. But sources in touch w Braves believe they're "highly unlikely" to deal by Sat #trades

10-5 since the break. I'd hate to be hardcore selling.

[Big Z]

Well Chad Qualls is gone to the Rays, so you can take him off our list, THANK GOD. I'm guessing the one guy we might be looking at is Octavio Dotel, this guy reminds me of Urbina. If we do acquire him it will solidify our back end of the pen, giving us probably a Hensley, Dotel, Nunez-7,8,9 inning. As for Lefty relievers, either Breslow or J.Lopez would be ideal.

Latest on the Marlins — 10:10 a.m.

A few notes on what we're hearing on the Marlins:

*They likely will not move outfielder Cody Ross. They can't find a deal to match up.

*They're still trying to add a bullpen piece.

*Infielder Wes Helms is not a Yankees target.

#Marlins still looking for relievers, but don't consider themselves close enough to overpay
