Mish did a spaces on Twitter just now, and I missed the beginning, but here are the highlights. Again, he's still coming from the stance that he's not going to give too much away as far a details:
-He's heard they are interested in Schwarber. Interestingly, he said he'd be brought in to play LF. He did later say he doesn't think they're going to get him, though.
-The real interesting point, to dovetail off of that, is he thinks they may be at the point where Garcia could be CF.
-That's not to say they're done, or even close to being done. He said if you look at their current OF, it's pretty obvious they aren't close to contending, and he says they definitely know that. So, with Garcia potentially being CF, the big deal they may be looking at could be for a corner OF.
-He said the talk is that Wendel is a super utility guy, but he thinks we might want to wait to see all the deals happen, and he could be a starter. It sounded like he was saying Brian Anderson could be included in a deal.
-He said he asked on Jansen and hasn't found anyone that said they're in on him (but he did say maybe he just doesn't know, but they are and said the Stallings deal was done without him knowing about it).
-He said he hasn't heard they're in on Cedric Mullins.
-He said it doesn't seem like they've revisited Brandon Marsh, which he thinks is weird because they were so far down the road, and the Angels badly want pitching.
-He gets the feeling that if they make a mega deal, Burdick would be in it. He says he doesn't know that for sure, but that is his guess.
-He says they feel like they have to win now, so because of that, they're not going to clutch their prospects.
-He said Garrett Cooper will be their every day DH if universal DH comes to baseball. He said it a couple times, and he was pretty definitive in saying it.
-He didn't sound optimistic on Castellanos. He echoed the report that he wants a longterm deal and they don't want to do that. He also said he's not signing before the lockout, and the Marlins don't want to wait and risk getting locked out on other deals.
-He says he still thinks they have a very big trade in them. He said he thinks the best player they're going to acquire this offseason isn't yet on the roster (I should hope so). He said he's "almost positive" that they make more trades.
-He was asked if he thinks they trade any of their starters "like Eliaser", and he said "yes".
-He was asked about Conforto, and he said it could be an option if they don't get what they want. He said they've checked in with "all of these guys"
-He said he doesn't think the Marlins have any untouchables in the system when it comes to these trades.
-He said he thinks it's going to be a spring training battle between Jackson and Fortes for the backup catcher job, and he thinks Jackson will win it. When pressed on this he points to their history of trying to justify their moves, and they traded Duvall for Jackson, so...
