Marlins Trade Heath Bell for Yordy Cabrera

[tjfla]

Was he known as a hitter? Doesn't look like it from his numbers.

Here was one of the Scouting Reports on him

They got exactly what they wanted tho,Bell and his contract gone. Cabrera is just icing on the cake-if he finally puts it together we get more 3B depth and if not O well

If a player currently playing in the AFL is traded, does he have to switch to a different AFL team if they are affiliated with a different MLB team than the one he previously played for?

Luckily Oakland and Miami share the Phoenix Desert Dogs so he isn't changing any teams

The Marlins lead the league in unique first names.

But it was a trade to get rid of Bell. He basically talked his way out of Miami whether he'll admit it or not. Questionable signing when it was done, and an absolutely god awful result. It's amazing the D-Backs were willing to take on $13 million for the next two years of him, but there's still a slightly decent chance he could be a good set up man, as his second half numbers suggested. Sadly, this traded probably needed to happen.

Coming up next on your Miami Marlins pregame show, the Yordy and Gorkys Show!

The D'backs exercised J.J. Putz's 2013 option earlier today too, so I wonder if Heath will be closing there either?

7th inning guy

with or without bell, the team is going to be shitty.

with or without bell, the team is going to be shitty.

But at least there's less salary tied up into this shitty team.

[Namaste]

We got rid of Bell and brought Cabrera back. What a great day!

[Erick]

I wonder if they're going to sign someone else to close games or if they'll just go with Cishek next year.

[AdamRavs]

Go back to what we used to do with closers. A bunch of league min. guys til one stands out. Hopefully we can flip some thing into a centerfielder.

That wont be used on anything

[Erick]

I hope they do closer by committee like the Giants did this year. That would be cool especially since it's now proven it can work with the right guys.

So you're disappointed the deal was made?
