I think Johnson is a better deal than my originally proposed Patton. If I'm Florida, I'm getting a reliever with good K numbers who could still be a SP. For a platoon 1B.

Yeah, and Johnson would be under control for a longer period of time, so he might be more attractive to Miami.

I'm thinking Smoak might become available as well.

I'd support that. I suspect a team looking for a 1B (like Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay) would be more aggressive in trading for him though.

Morrison would be a nice grab for DH. Could be the kind of guy that Presley thrives on coaching. He has a good deal of unlocked offensive potential. Especially power.

Marlins are close to signing Jones. That just makes Morrison more available. Heck why not expand it and get Cishek. Something like Berry, Wright, and Britton/S.Johnson/Patton

Is there something that makes you think they are looking to move Cishek?

Has Miami indicated that they are looking to move Ceshek? That would certainly make letting Webb go despite a very reasonable projected arb figure look even stranger than it already does.

Cishek is a super 2 first time arb eligible. So he's projected by MLBTR at 3.2mm up from 550k. I might be willing to part with Ed Rod in a package for Cishek and Morrison.

I am not questioning Cishek's value. Heck yeah, I'd love to get him. What I am questioning is whether Miami is willing to trade him, and whether anyone has heard anything about them looking to move him.

Cishek probably isn't availabe but they do have Dunn and Ramos that could close. Valencia for Morrison would probably be a fair trade. Morrison has more upside and would play more regularly for us. Valencia is from Miami and they get a cheap 3B. He's never going to be more than just a RH DH for us.

A valid trade proposal. I'm not sure I would make it but I think that might definitely fly with them.

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      This is no big deal ….He has a right to have an opinion. I believe Holiday was called up too soon. I  also believe the front office was pressured by Hollidays father and agent.

      When he first came up, his slider was very mediocre and only really used as a get me over change of pace. Now it seems like a weapon. I wonder if he went to school with Professor Bradish for that.

      Yeah, kinda why I asked the question. That seems real lofty for a comparison.

      Alex Pham 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      After a really disappointing April that saw his ERA balloon to 7.78, Alex Pham has found his bearings in May, allowing 3 ER in 14.1 IP, allowing 8 hits and 4 walks while striking out 17.   Yesterday Pham allowed a run on 2 hits and a walk in 4.2 innings, striking out 7.   53 of 72 pitches were strikes.  The sole run charged to Pham scored when reliever Kyle Virbitsky allowed a 2-out double to the first batter he faced after relieving Pham in the fifth.    Due to the poor start, Pham’s ERA still rests at an unimpressive 5.29, but he’s definitely been headed in the right direction.  Also, he’s struck out 40 batters in 34 innings.

      Weather today?

      I can’t emphasize enough how stupid that rain delay was.  No rain at all for 45 minutes, then two hours of light mist, the kind that teams play through all the time.  I was standing near the kids play area during most of the delay and believe me, that rain didn’t deter any kids from using the playground equipment for two hours. Then, 15 minutes before the game is going to start, the grounds crew is watering the infield.  What? The game itself was not worth the wait, needless to say.   But what annoys me most is the complete lack of communication during these delays.  How about letting the fans who are there know what the thinking is about how long the delay will be?  How about an update every 30 minutes or so.   Nope, nothing.   Just a generic message on the scoreboard saying that the start of the game will be delayed to to the “threat” of inclement weather.   My phone was showing .05” of rain expected in the next six hours.  Some threat! On the bright side, the team did announce that ticket holders would be given vouchers that could be used for a Monday - Thursday game.  That was the least they could do.

      19,286 for that rain-delayed mess of a game.  I’d say about 2/3 of those stuck through the 3 hour delay and were in their seats at game time.
