Marlins Nearing Trade For Fernando Rodney

[Namaste]

Boys, this rain came out of nowhere. There was a 0% chance of rain.

If you hear a Let's Go Marlins chant, it's us.

We're 7 rows behind Marlins dugout.

Prado threw my son a baseball.

Jose Fernandez was the coolest MLB'r ever during BP. He threw at least 30 balls into the left field stands.

He also signed a ball for my boy.

[HUGG]

On the plus side, we'll get a double a reliever for Rodney in 4 weeks after this 7-20 stretch ends.

Hugg will probably stick the landing on this triple dismount.

Bad news for Paddack. Hurt his arm today

[Todd]

I hope he is OK.

[nny]

4.50 ERA/4.55 FIP now as a Marlin

(3.05 xFIP but that doesn't fit my narrative)

[Jay]

Does anyone actually like xFIP?

[tjfla]

I hope he is OK.

Strained forearm/elbow

Other words will need TJ but looks like SD is on the Marlins injury plan. Rest and cross fingers

[Erick]

Does anyone actually like xFIP?

I like it.

10.09 K/9 this year. Not Chris Paddock #'s but still decent.

[dim]

Sorry to bump but this was too funny of a reread given recent events.

[Nick]

Man this is gonna be great when Rodney has a 7 ERA for us and ends up being released.

thatnewguy with psychic powers.

[Ralph]

lol bye guys. I give up.

And I’m still here....

I was wrong about how extremely bad this deal would be. Looking back, I hate MLB for allowing Loria to have a team.

Actually, looking back on page 1, I said I hope it wasn’t Paddack so at least I don’t look like an idiot. And I had never seen him pitch, the fools who traded him did. Just like they saw German, Luis Castillo, etc.

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
