Jake Burger, it is.

[fish16]

we just got jake burger from the white sox. 25 hr's this year. Still pre-arbitration. 3b. Gotta be more. But solid get, team controlled.

Jake Burger for Eder

[fish16]

jesus we gave up Eder for Jake Burger. Seems like a lot but burger is good. Hopefully there is more involved here.

[fish16]

a ton of swing and miss and not a very high obp, but he has an over .800 OPS. Should give the lineup more punch. Not a good defender. Wonder if that is a soler replacement next year. Career 114 WRC+

[fish16]

controlled through 2029. We need 1 more bat. That's not enough. Give me a C and or a 1b. I think there is more coming.

[fish16]

holy shit his baseball savant page is off the charts. He fucking crushed the ball, just bad plate discipline and a bad fielder.

Admittedly, I don't know a lot about this guy, but Eder is a hefty payment. I suppose not trading for a bat would have been worse, and he's controllable, so hard to be mad about it. I wish they also could have gotten Tim Anderson. I wonder if they tried to get Eloy, and settled on Burger.

Ok cool, a power bat.

[fish16]

is there more to the deal? 1 for 1 seems pretty damn good for a 3b who crushes the ball and is under team control through 29 for Eder. But why not get Grandal too if the price is low?

He'll fit in with half the roster then lol.

Not super encouraging from Aram Leighton:

Very possible the Marlins are buying at the top of Burger's value. .176/.259/.427 over his last 40 games with 12 HR and a 32% strikeout rate. Gives the Marlins some much needed power, but Jake Eder is a steep price to pay.

Burger is a better fit for this team so, if that’s what happened, they got the better guy anyway.

Not super encouraging from Aram Leighton:

His baseball savant page indicates that he has a shot to get hot down the stretch.

Has one of the best expected slugging %’s in the game this year.

Not super encouraging from Aram Leighton:

he had a putrid June but his stats look like the opposite of DLC. 1 bad month and 3 other months with a mid .800 OPS or better. He is a soler replacement for next year i think
