Season Super Game Thread

[Erick]

I think it would be a borderline travesty for the Marlins to allow a potential Cuban superstar to sign with the fucking Orioles of all teams. Know your fan base, man.

They keep talking about how much they’ve changed, but the Jeter regime is a lot like Loria so far.

[Ralph]

If Robles is in the offer you make it work somehow. Him plus whatever else is
ENough. Can’t stress how important it is to get a guy like him in Miami.

It seems like they're doing what they can. If they are chasing him and offering a bunch of money, and he picks Baltimore, I don't know that you can blame them.

Mish now saying Washington IS offering Robles in the package for Realmuto, but not sure if Keiboom is also on the table, or if Miami would be interested. If Robles is being offered, I think you might have to pull the trigger. We're talking about a potential star.

Sources indicate the Marlins and Nationals remain in discussions in a trade for JT Realmuto. Execs from both teams together in Miami. Nats are now willing to part with Victor Robles for JT as @JonHeyman & @JoeFrisaro noted. (1/2)

What remains unclear is will Robles + Carter Kieboom be offered for Realmuto. In addition it’s unclear if that is enough for the Marlins. May take a Robles + 2 others (not Kieboom) to complete a deal by Tuesday.

[Lee Stone]

Why aren’t the Marlins ever innovative like the Rays? Why not try the opener strategy? A bunch of our “starting” pitchers would probably be more effective.

good point

[Ralph]

If JT goes and the Cubs really interested in barraclough abpckage with Amaya would be nice. Not 100% sure on his bat but he’s been pretty good this year and defensively he’s apparently really good. And they have Contreras for the foreseeable future so they might put him in play.

They keep talking about how much they’ve changed, but the Jeter regime is a lot like Loria so far.

they really have not been at all. Theyve been kind of philosophically completely on opposite ends of the spectrum. They are trying to build from within and build via depth instead of the loria way of building somewhat from within but then trading away depth for stupid short term fixes and way overspend on beyond mediocre free agents like Buck, Salty, Volquez, Ziegler, Tazawa, etc. The depth thing especially is something that could not be more different than the loria years. And the draft was 100% different as well on top of the fact that they have clearly made an effort to get in on the big IFA names even though they had a late start on everyone.


Im not sure how you can call something a borderline travesty if the marlins dont do something that isnt 100% in their control. This isnt the draft. IF they go out and offer as much as they possibly could to the kid and he chooses a different team for whatever reason im not sure how you can blame the team. Also, Victor's twitter likes really have me thinking he will sign here if the money is remotely close. Obviously it could mean nothing, but there are a lot of marlins twitter likes and not much if any from other teams.

Dont think they will, but if you can get kieboom AND Robles + another prospect in a deal.... I really think hard about that one. I gotta think we can get the nats desperate in these days leading up to the deadline. I have no idea what that team needs though and why its so damn mediocre.

[Erick]

I’ll believe in the front office when they sell high on a damn reliever.

Another blown save for Barraclough.

Realmuto walks it off against the nats, who covet him... the price is already high. Robles plus c kieboom seems to be the ask.

Gonna be an interesting few days

[lou]

Loving the report Robles is on the table.

Robles plus 2 other half decent prospects probably gets it done, but getting Kieboom too would be a heist.

This is where you chuck in Barraclough, get both of them plus some lottery tickets, and pray to god you can beat the Nationals in 3 years.

Nolan jones for Barraclough, JT and Ziegler for Robles, Kieboom, and Read. Immediately.

Barraclough sucking it at worst time possible.

[sports24/7]

No question whether Bryce Harper wants the Nats to get JT. I wonder if trying to appease him to keep him in DC will play into their decision at all.

Bryce Harper on J.T. Realmuto’s walk-off single: “If that guy was on our side, that wouldn’t have happened.”

An odd quote from Harper. He doesn't think Severino or Wieters is capable of hitting a pop up to short right field?

Offer is Robles AND C(Severino/Read/Gushue/Reetz)/1 low prospect OR Robles and 2 prospects

Marlins are holding out for Robles AND Kieboom Brothers(99.999% Carter) for JT

So offer is ON the table but Miami wants more. Even if they get more it doesn't mean they will take it

They are trying hard to get 1.5 million in IFA Cap Space from Cubs,LAD,Atlanta. Its NOT the Marlins fauly-Victor Victor is going to whoever offers the most cash

NYY made a trade last night for 1 million so they could sign the "Other" Cuban P-Osiel

- - - - - - - - - -

The JT talks will come down to 4PM but watch what Miami gets in other deals. If they get a Will Smith/Ruiz/Amaya or another high end C(Varsho) in a trade it could mean JT is traded to Washington

Texas is the main competiton for our RP. LAD,Arizona,Philly,Pitt,Atlanta are looking at their RP as well as ours

Pretty interesting point was made to me this morning from a source. If Harper leaves, Robles off the table to Miami this winter. If J.T. then declines an extension this may be the best offer (and player) Miami will have on the table for him.

Very interesting point. I think if they make Kieboom and Robles available we need to take it. Thats an enormous haul and our future OF would look incredible with the options we have going forward.
