Marlins acquire Prado & Phelps from the Yankees for Eovaldi, Jones and German

[emkayseven]

not really considering they'd be getting $10M from the Dodgers and not paying it to Haren

[Miamarlin21]

The other LH options are Abraham Almonte, Alex Dickerson, Jake Goebbert and Will Venable. It'll probably be Almonte or Venable.

I think I'd rather keep McGee around. For once it'd be nice to be able to withstand multiple injuries in our lineup without turning into a minor league journeyman clown show.

What could you reasonably expect to get for McGeehee on the market?

[marlinsfan24]

I think Emilio Bonifacio would be a better fit for this team than McGehee.

I would trade McGehee for Venable in a second.

It's relatively cost neutral, and the OF is rock fucking solid.

[Erick]

And if Prado goes down our options are? Solano is basically it since we moved Kike. Not really stoked at the thought of Solano starting.

Dietrich/Baker platoon.

I would view him as a Solano upgrade and not the same "role" on the bench

Prado, who turned 31 in October, will serve as both a backup infielder and outfielder. During his nine big league seasons, Prado has played more than 2,100 innings at three different positions – left, second and third.

We gave the Marlins too much credit.

There's no way we acquired Prado to not start him. Right?

[Mainge]

Yeah I don't see them giving up Eovaldi for a utility player

There's no way they traded Eovaldi for a backup infielder. Prado will start at 3rd.

Absolutely.

Another deal or two is coming to clear McGehee and figure out 4th SP slot

No, you give JCR too much credit.

0% chance the Marlins traded Eovaldi for a $8M a year player to not start him

[fauowls44]

Absolutely.

Yup. Don't forget that they were interested in Headley as well...so it's not like they were married to McGehee starting.

#Marlins may not done dealing. Prado acquisition makes Casey McGehee expendable. Prado expected to be every day third baseman.
