Marlins trade targets?

The Marlins boast 2 solid options on the left side of the IF.  Miguel Rojas, who can play an above SS and third base and Brian Anderson, who is a solid third baseman.

Rojas is owed 5M (plus has a 500k buyout in 2022) and Anderson is arb eligible for the first time this season.

I would guess Rojas is too much money unless we can get them to eat salary or take on a contract but a match could be here.

Jazz Chisholm, a top 60ish prospect, appears to be ready to go(or is close to it).  He is a SS.  So, either of these guys could be available.

The target here would be Anderson but Rojas is a good target as well.

The Marlins are always looking to save money, so this could be another potential match.

They aren’t 2+ years away.     There is plenty of depth to make multiple deals.

“Plenty of depth” is quite a rosy look. We’ve got some pieces we could trade but then the farm would be barren yet again. You’re a couple years too soon IMO

We’re still 2+ years away from making a deal to add anyone. We don’t have an overwhelming area of depth to even to a strength for strength trade. 
 

Our best hope is to be able to trade away as many of our players under contract or in arbitration as possible. 
 

Cobb - Probably a pipedream, but we could get close to a Cashner return depending on performance and how much salary we pay. 
 

Severino - if he has a decent 1st half then I see him traded at the deadline. AR should be pretty close. We could get by with Sisco and a backup until then. 
 

Armstrong/Fry - Players in Arb that if they perform will be traded at the deadline. This team doesn’t need bullpen pieces tying up 40 man spots and salary. 
 

Mancini - We take the best deal we can get. 
 

If you don’t clear up spots on the 40 man you risk losing guys in the rule 5 draft.

Rojas is 31, and last season was his first good year, Im pretty sure he could be had for a reasonable price assuming the Marlins want to clear SS for another player. Anderson looks like the better player, but only at 3B, and probably will cost alot more.

If we're avoiding acquiring a good 27 year old proven 3Bman because he'll be a free agent in 2024, we'll never stop being in rebuild mode.  Anderson's a good target if Miami is trying to lower their payroll.

Rojas seems unlikely for us because we just traded a similar version of him, and I don't see Miami paying a significant part of his contract to trade him - since most of the reason they'd trade him would be to save money.

The only thing issue I have with this is that the Marlins could decide saving 3 million is better than nothing (ie, they pick up 2M of the contract).

Bur overall, I agree with your sentiment here.

I don’t agree unless you mean we will have guys further away from helping.  I would agree with that.

And btw, you HAVe to make decisions on some of these guys soon because of your 40 man roster, having to promote them, etc...you can’t hold onto everyone or else you will lose players for nothing.  
 

And btw, if we are getting young, cost controlled talent, I will happily trade guys to get them.

I think it’s best to wait out a few of our current top prospects to see what we’ve got and go from there. If we were to build a potentially competitive team now it’d be from the ground up. We’ve literally got nothing to feel confident in building around yet. Let’s see how Rutschman, Rodriguez, Hall, Hays, Diaz etc look this time next year and go from there.

Waiting things out could really backfire..not to mention, I’m not talking about trading the top guys unless Marquez is coming back to us and that is an obvious move.

I highly doubt anyone in our 10-20 prospect range is going to net a major league difference maker.

They certainly could be pieces in the package.  And it depends on how you define difference maker.  2-3 WAR players aren’t necessarily difference makers but they are still valuable pieces.

      AL playoff picture

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      100%! I say abolish divisions, play a fully balanced schedule and take the top 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever teams in each league to the playoffs.

      The question was asked, a few months ago, whether winning the division was necessary. A lively debate resulted, some saying the division didn’t matter(“just make the playoffs and anything can happen”) and some taking the opposite view. I wanted the Division and I’m disgusted the play has been so bad. And I haaaate the Yankees( sports hate. I’m sure they are all great guys in person.) It will not magically improve, and I despair of winning more than two more games…not even 90 wins. And in a Homer–prone park, how many homers will the Os give up? The thought is not comforting. And there’s little reason to think things will improve against the Tigers or Royals. But at least: 1) next year they will hopefully have Bautista and the position players healthy. 2) The farm has very few MLB-ready players so there won’t be so much bouncing back and forth. Hopefully the guys can settle in and just play. 3) the Os will be looking for a fourth consecutive winning season, which hasn’t happened since the 70s So there’s that…

      I need to be a better fan

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I was about to post a similar thread, but despite my memory issues, I recalled this thread.  I still find myself enjoying sports less and less.  The issue is not my teams, but myself.  It's a sad reality that I'm bothered when my team doesn't win, or does win, but wins in a way that is not how I wanted them to!  LOL!  It's ridiculous.  Frankly, I'm somewhat ashamed. The O's are very likely going to the playoffs.  But instead of being happy about that, I'm more concerned with how awful we've been and how little I expect from them as the post-season draws near.  A real fan loves his team and sticks with them, through thick and thin.  It's absolutely okay to be critical, even frustrated, at times, but when those are the default and dominant expressions, it makes me feel... less than.  It's like this with all my favorite teams (O's/Ravens/Terps).  It's therapeutic, in a way, to reveal such truths.  But the quest to find a way to enjoy sports again, to enjoy what my teams are doing, is a process that is taking longer than I'd hoped.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By Frobby · Posted

      I wouldn’t say I’m fired up.  I’d like to do enough to (1) win the season series (which only takes one win), (2) clinch a playoff spot (which probably only takes one win, depending what other teams do, and (3) improves our chances of getting the no. 4 seed (which might take a couple of wins, depending how other teams do).

      By oriole · Posted

      It feels like a foregone conclusion that the O’s sneak in with the third wild card spot and then lose the wild card series. So it just doesn’t really matter all that much what happens from here on out.    Then again, get hot at the right time and this could still be a World Series contender. I have to see some fire in this team before I entertain that thought though.

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I am not really fired up per se.  I am just hoping that something happens that is different than what we have seen for months.  A late comeback to win the game.  A big inning of 4 runs or more.  Some big hits from Adley or Holliday.   1 win means we win the season series against everyone in the East for the second year in a row.  That would be great.  And even if we lose, I am hoping that watching the Yankees celebrate in front of them and the fans celebrate around them fires them up.

      I feel like I asked once years ago, but can someone please explain the acronym “MFY?”
