Very weird timing for Mish to come out and report that the marlins told Sandy they aren’t trading him this offseason. Thought that went without saying. It would make 0 sense to trade him this offseason.

He turns 30 next year and is only signed on a guaranteed deal through 2026.
If he shows he is healthy he is gone at the deadline.Amy Adams, AKA Cinnamon MuffLogan Morrison: "If baseball didn't exist, I would probably be ... like a curler. Or a hairstylist."

Originally posted by fish16 View PostCabrera is probably #3 of guys I’d be offering an extension to behind eury and Meyer. Obviously behind luzardo too if that’s an option but they will likely trade him. The guy just has 0 control. Over 150 walks in less than 260 innings. Just awful command
He’s # 1 because the timing is wrong with Eury and Max, but that may all change quickly by Aug 1 next year for all of them.

I strongly disagree with this. We have 2 maybe 3 of 9 spots in the lineup established. I like the bats we have at AAA, but they’re still completely unproven, and you want to keep them down from 2 weeks to maybe 2 months. Who knows what the bullpen will look like. Adding Sandy doesn't make up for the loss of Arraez, Jazz, Bell, DLC and pretty much the entire bullpen. The rotation was awesome on paper this year, it didn't happen.
But I’m going to just agree to disagree here. I think a healthy Sandy, Luzardo, Garrett, and Weathers make a radical impact and I expect step forward for Max and especially Cabrera. I like the bat situation in 6 places with the obvious broken record SS, 3B, right handed CF/OF.

Analytics aren’t backing him and it’s like .225/.330/.340 sort of hit projection. OK defense not bad. He needs to hit a lot more the rest of the year but it’s getting a little interesting if he is coming into his own and scale that to .250 with a little more power and now you’re in business with the objectively great BB rate.

Otto is showing amazing defense and analytics say around a .700 expected OPS so he sticks. For sure. No way they give up on him unless he craters here on out. The other two can be DFA’d.

If this is ever going to work, you probably need your best possible 5 SP and that to me is Sandy, Eury, Cabrera, White, and Noble/Max. Luzardo is only out here because of 2 years of control, but that otherwise could be the literal rotation 8/1/26 or opening day 27 with Garrett, Weathers, Snelling, and Mazur are in the bullpen. Not everyone will work out, but I’m not so quick to move Sandy absent they have multiple major bat failures and most of the SP lands. We’ll see if a good problem develops basically but the eyes on the prize is still healthy SP.

I assume the answer is try to see if Burger can figure out 3B to pencil him there. But also seems silly to me to do it with someone so old whose entire career has been at said position.
But also makes me assume they do not view Bride as an option at 3rd next year at all.
It is great to see him get comfortable with major league pitching. Hopefully the power stays
