Marlins Nearing Trade For Fernando Rodney

[fish16]

the trevor williams for 2 nobodies who were fired within a few years is another gem that rarely gets talked about. Not like williams wasnt a relatively high draft pick either. Just abject stupidity in the previous ownership group.

Craziest thing about the whole deal was Miami could have had Rodney in the offseason but Jeff refused to offer him a ML deal. He went to SD on a minor league deal

Paddock-Dealt because SD called Jeff directly and he didn't see Paddock's name on the BA Top 10
Castillo-Dealt because Miami scouting(BENEDICT/Del Piano) saw him as a RP
Trevor Williams-Dealt because Pitt wanted something in return for Benedict and Del Piano
German-Dealt to NYY but got Pablo in return

We didn’t get Pablo in return for German.

We didn’t get Pablo in return for German.

I'm pretty sure he means since the trade was effectively Prado/Phelps for Eovaldi/German, and Phelps turned into Pablo in another trade, German eventually turned into Pablo.

This was actually a pretty great trade for the Marlins. They did get 10 WAR out of Prado/Phelps 15-16, and Phelps did turn into Pablo. Prado resigned after 2016 so we don't really need to value 2017-now in that deal.

I'd do this trade again in a heartbeat knowing Pablo is coming on the backend. That one isn't an issue. They did good here.

Paddack is still the worst one. By a lot. At least Straily had some good years when he was healthy and had some years of control. Rodney was nowhere near even that.
