Marlins 2017-2018 Offseason Discussion Thread

[fish16]

team just officially announced the ozuna deal.

[tjfla]

What?

The Toronto offer was Bo Bichette and low level prospects(1 Likely ML in group). Cards sent Alcantara,Sierra and Gallen.(3 guys who will be in the Majors in 2018)

[fish16]

What?

Toronto system isnt nearly as deep as STL's and 3 of the players in the STL deal should be up with the big club as soon as this year is what im assuming he's saying

Alford wasn't in Ozuna offer. Miami asked for Vlad Jr AND Bo,were told NO and got a counter of Bo with 2 or 3 low level prospects

These guys have 8.1 innings pitched and 60 ABs at the MLB level between the three of them. Just because the Marlins will be forced to use them at the big league level next year, doesn't necessarily mean they should be in the big leagues. Plus, with how this team will be tanking next year, whether they'll be playing at the big league level next year should not even be a consideration in these trades.

Sierra and one of the others added to the 40-man. I closed it before typing this so I can't remember who the other was.

a team with one of the deepest farm systems in baseball just used them this past year at the big league level for short stints.

NONE of them will be up till June/July at earliest but they all will be up this year. The other things in the Toronto offer were like the 4th guy we got from St Louis-22 yr old in A Ball

When we trade Yelich,Sierra will be called up to play CF

[fish16]

can we speak for a moment about how terrible that Cervenka trade was and how it was beyond obvious how bad it was the second it was announced?

[Ralph]

Just another Mike Hill dandy
