Is this just some weird Socratic line of questioning?

No.  I suppose if your goal is to make a lot of trades, it would be a good idea to always offer more than any other team and always meet or exceed the asking price.  If the goal is to win, however, that idea doesn't seem like the way to go.

Unfortunately, no matter how much we yap about it on here, I don't think the Marlins are interested.  Can't really blame them, either.  I'd probably be annoyed if this were Marlins Hangout and we traded Lopez for Hays and Mountcastle.  

I'd like to imagine it would be called Dish with the Fish not Marlins Hangout.

    • Quite a lineup Billy Beane has put together.
    • Wondering if Norby playing in the outfield now has the O’s bringing him up against lefties playing lF or RF?  Anyone seen him play the outfield?
    • This whole notion of “playoff starter” being some sort of special tier for which average pitchers need not apply continues to get so overblown here.  Again, just looking at last year, the Diamondbacks had Brandon Pfaadt start 5 playoff games for them. No one would consider him a “playoff starter.” They also twice used an opener (Joe Mantiply) and had bullpen games. In the playoffs. But there they were in the WS anyway. The Rangers had Andrew Heaney start 3 games in a piggyback with Dane Dunning. They also gave 3 starts to Max Scherzer’s mostly disembodied right arm. But there they were standing at the end anyway. Some other guys who started playoff games last year: Jose Urquidy (x2), Bailey Ober, Bobby Miller, Braxton Garrett, Lance Lynn, Dean Kremer, Bryce Elder. And that list would be even more raggedy looking if more teams had made it deeper into their opening series. No, Albert Suarez shouldn't be anyone’s Plan A as SP3, nor should he be Plan B or even Plan C. He wasn’t ours, and I don’t think he’s even our Plan D(ean). And there’s a good chance Elias will try to seek out an alternative Plan E at the deadline. But if we land on Suarez as SP3, backed up by someone like Irvin or Povich, we’re still going to have every chance to compete with anyone. It’s not a disqualifier. How many high-end SPs do we have to beat this year before folks accept that the identity of the starting pitcher is only one part of the winning equation?
    • At least 16 of his appearances were in the 7th/8th inning.  
    • He was used quite a bit last year but I don't know how Philly utilized him or if they just had a lot of 4+ run wins.
    • I just noticed that Kimbrel hasn’t had more than 24 saves in a season since 2018.   He’s at 22 now, one short of last year’s total with Philly and two short of his 2021 total with the Dodgers.
