Whoa. The Marlins are paying operations staff now? When did they get all spendy?

I’m really not interested in a situation where once I’m deemed to carry too much value I’ll be traded for a package of low-level computer science/stats prospects. I value loyalty.

This has gotta be a joke. Wasn’t it only a month ago they got rid of some poor guy that was in the hospital with cancer? You work for this organization, they’ll find a way for you to pay them to work there.

While the start of the marlins rebuild has been a PR disaster and they did communicate poorly I’m not sure we should just assume that the guy was fired to dump salary and because of his cancer. The timing was bad but team staffs are re-structured all the time and maybe that was the reason.

I also actually think they got solid returns so far. Still I think it is bad that they didn’t start over completely. A new Gm would have been good and of course meter is not qualified to run a FO.

I don’t really like that really all the guys they got are toolsy high upside high risk position players.

What hurt the marlins was not upside but depth. There isn’t a higher upside than ozuna, Stanton, yelich and realmuto, their problem was always depth.

Some high risk lottery tickets are good but I would prefer a more balanced approach with a few high floor guys and also pitchers.

If the current approach works out they could be again where they were in 2017: 4-5 really good hitters, no starting pitching and a bad bottom of the line-up and bench, ie. Another stars and scrubs team.

Too cheap to even splurge on a marlins.com email address. Going for the ole free gmail standby. Stay Classy, Miami.
