Source confirms: Francoeur to #Marlins, int'l signing dollars to #Rangers, minor-league SS Dylan Moore to #Braves.

We get Francouer AND give up int'l signing dollars. When faced with that you gotta pull the trigger!

Been rumored since Francouer cleared waivers.

Matt Foley also in deal-40th Rd Pick LY.

Not really needed but for a 40th Rd Pick and cash we were never spend u might as well get something

And they'll probably DFA Arcia, who is considerably better, to open up a spot for him

Probably however Arcia likely passes thru since we claimed him from TB. Means about 25 other teams passed on him before

Does 2 things tho gives Mattingly that vet he loves and he can't kill us when we play the Braves

[fish16]

Why on earth would we take francouer over Arcia if that truly is the plan? I think we will go with 5 outfielders until September and we can carry everyone.

.256/.289/.376 vs the Marlins since 2012. He's not a Marlins killer anymore. Just shit.

His numbers are ok against left-handed pitchers, if his only role is to give Ichiro a rest against lefties I'm fine with it.

I will be upset if they DFA Arcia over Andino though. I would hope Andino would be the one going down. Hell maybe even Chris Johnson since he hasn't had much of a role since we called up Scruggs.

Mattingly mentioned he was acquired because they wanted a true OF and not have to put an INF out there in a playoff race. My guess is Andino goes and Arcia stays.

Ichiro has an OPS vs lefties that is 100 points higher than Francouer.

.843vsLH, .728vsRH

The Marlins got cash in this deal too, HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Agreed he doesn't need a platoon partner, but also Ichiro will not be able to hold up playing every day.

Agreed, should have started Arcia vs righties a good chunk of the time

Marlins stumble into a former top 40 prospect with 42hr in 1000mlb pa and immediately replace him with a dude who hasn't been good since 2011. They're the best.

When you've followed this organization for as long as we have, you just know when some things aren't going to happen. This is one of them.

I honestly think for the last 40 or so games, given similar ABs, I think Arcia vs. Francouer is mostly a wash. Now if we lose Arcia because of Francouer's presence this season, then it's a huge fuck up, until then it's not a big deal.

Ichiro has been considerably better against LHP than RHP for awhile now. It's actually very ridiculous how they've used him in that regards.

I kind of want to buy a frenchy jersey just because of how awesome it is that he's a marlin

Jeff Loria sweating the money since, well, FOREVER.

Of course he got cash in the deal,the IFA Cash is NOT real cash it just lets teams like Texas who spend cash to sign talent keep signing talent every year instead of every 3 years. So anytime Jeff can get actual paper cash he will want it

I would DFA Andino who would make it thru easily and could be brought back if needed. Arcia is a guy who has a legit chance to be on the team next year however u never know with this FO. It is like the Ege decision,Ege got DFA so we could add and bring up Narveson for a week

Fish fans are still the best. We give up nothing in the deal(Foley likely is cut by us and the IFA spots are words on a paper-not really money or anything just MLB clerical) and the fans wanna know why instead of signing prospects with those slots we traded them for Frenchy HAHA
