Seems to have lost ~2.5 MPH from his fastball in 2014, along with the dip in Ks and increase in HRs. The park should help the HRs, at least. Decent buy-low swap for a likely future AAAA spot starter.

Great pickup. Love it

Why are we keeping Cishek?

[marlinsfan24]

Don't love it, don't hate it. Just meh.

He's going to make $2M in arbitration, according to MLB Trade Rumors.

Cishek has to be getting traded. It makes absolutely no sense to keep him at this point.

Good move here

The ship is floating, boys.

The pieces are starting to fit, boys.

nice move

Making plus bullpen moves this early into the offseason is a good sign about the FO's vision for next season

None at this point.

But this is a good move as Flynn was likely not going to be much and Redman is more of a project. Kind of interesting though because Crow is going to make $1.5 million over the minimum, and the whole idea of trading Cishek/etc. is to clear payroll to spend elsewhere. But whatever, not a lot and really shouldn't dictate if the Marlins can afford anything else.

I'm pretty content if the bullpen is Ramos, Morris, Crow, Capps, Hatcher, Dunn, and Hand/Jennings (depending on if Hand/Heaney get the # 5 spot). Those 7 guys are basically pushing Cishek's salary overall so really good value.

[nny]

I think Crow isn't good (always had bad peripherals and last year was super bad) but I also don't think Flynn really becomes anything so it's whatever. It's more-so the 2m I care about.

[emkayseven]

I have to imagine Cishek is gone
