@jonmorosi: Jeff Brigham was discussed in #Dodgers #Marlins trade talks. Not clear if he's in final deal going to Miami.
Joe Frisaro @JoeFrisaro 18s18 seconds ago Jeff Brigham is definitely in the #Marlins deal w #Dodgers as @ChrisCotillo hinted
Jim Bowden @JimBowden_ESPN 14s14 seconds ago According to sources there is a third team involved in the Dodgers/Marlins trade which is bigger than being reported
-The Marlins had a number of ways they could go in terms of dealing Latos, but it seems they either prioritized shedding the Morse contract or simply didn’t find that teams were willing to offer much in return #thatssomarlins
Wtf is going on? Hope the commisioner vetoed the trade @Ken_Rosenthal: #Marlins play today at 12:10 p.m. ET. As of this hour, Morse and Latos remain part of team and again plan to be in uniform.
Morse pinch hit in the 9th today absolutely shocking that he struck out we really suck at this FA thing under loria. Look at our last 2 "big signing" Salty and Morse.....2 fucking bums
Eh I wouldn't really call it a fire sale since both latos and haren were FA's at the end of the year and since we aren't contenders better to get something for them then nothing We start trading our key pieces to this team then I'll call it a firesale
Latos was solid and was deemed as a "key piece" in the efforts to get Stanton signed to am extension Although we all knew it was bs
That was this offseason, then he began the season worse than Kevin Gregg and then landed on the DL. This team now is not even close to a contender, I don't mind dumping Latos and Haren(two rentals) for prospects considering both were walking this offseason and we weren't making the playoffs Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick 1m1 minute ago #Marlins made a deal at the deadline.
clarkspencer @clarkspencer 55s55 seconds ago #marlins trading Sam dyson to Texas for C Tomas Telis and LHP Cody edge
We didn't trade either for legitimate prospects We traded Latos AND A 1ST ROUND PICK for LA to take on Morse's salary That pick will land a better prospect than any we have received so far
Wasn't really praising the return as much as I was saying that I understood us dumping 2 rentals and a very bad FA signing. Now of course going back we went from having a very thin minor league system a few years back, to revamping it with the reyes/JJ trade among others, to now trading those guys for people like Cosart, Latos and Dee Gordon and now we are back to having a depleted farm system. The latos trade was an all around bust
How do you make the worst farm system in the league better? By trading your "competetive balance" 1st round pick of course Complete bullshit that they can even be traded in the first place
@Marlins: Before getting called up to the Majors, Telis batted .291 with 15 doubles, five home runs and 25 RBI in 70 games at AAA. @Marlins: Ege has gone 6-2 with two saves and a 1.00 ERA in 35 appearances between A and AA in 2015. @Marlins: Telis will report to the Big League squad, and Ege will be assigned to @SunsBaseball.
Solid view on the latos/morse trade Not a fire sale, but a salary dump. Miami could have chosen to make a trade involving these two that would have made the Marlins a better team in 2016. They elected to save money instead. Miami could have traded Mat Latos and $3 mm to the Dodgers and received a decent prospect in return. They could have traded Morse, the pick and $10 mm to a team and received a fringe prospect or bullpen arm in exchange. But, Loria would rather pocket $15 mm than help the team. This is not a fire sale. But it is a bad move, and the latest in a long line of example of how Jeffrey Loria has no interest in winning.
Currently 37th in MLB in WAR for SP's, right about where he was last year. Would be by far the best Marlins SP this year, just like last year. 3 more years of control. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.as...son=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&page=2_30
Although I love Dee Gordon, gotta admit it's funny that Heaney is dominating in LA and we were looking for young pitching at the trade deadline
Kill me @clarkspencer: Jose Fernandez has flown back to Miami to see doctor for right shoulder stiffness. #marlins
According to the herald Loria will be making sweeping changes to the front office and scouting portions of the team Says jennings may not return as GM and his relationship with Loria has been strained as the season went on Loria didn't even show up for the annual end of season pic God I hate him
@flasportsbuzz: Fox reports tonight what we've reported previously: Marlins plan to change managers,move Jennings back to f. office,hire experienced manager
Marlins Begin Making Front Office Changes By Steve Adams [September 2, 2015 at 5:48pm CDT] There’s been plenty written about the looming change in the Marlins’ front office, andMLB.com’s Joe Frisaro reports the first wave of personnel shakeups in Miami. Per Frisaro, vice president of player development Marty Scott and vice president of player personnel Craig Weissmann were reassigned yesterday. Meanwhile, vice president of scouting Stan Meek was given an extension through the 2017 season, meaning he’ll continue overseeing the Marlins’ draft for the foreseeable future. Frisaro, like many others, notes that manager Dan Jennings is expected to return to the front office following the season (Frisaro, the Miami Herald, FOX Sports and CBS Sports have all written on this recently). Jon Heyman of CBS Sports wrote late last night that a meeting of the team’s higher-ups was set for Thursday, at which point Jennings will be offered a role in the front office. However, the Herald’s Clark Spencer reported yesterday that the relationship between Jennings and owner Jeffrey Loria has become strained, so it’s not certain what type of role he’ll have waiting for him. In the event that Jennings doesn’t return to the GM chair, both Spencer and FOX’s Ken Rosenthal have noted that assistant GM Mike Berger could be a candidate to fill the void on a long-term basis. (Berger has already stepped up and taken on some of Jennings’ former GM duties.) Beyond front office changes, Heyman writes that the Marlins are planning an “exhaustive” search to find an experienced manager to take over for Jennings. According to Heyman, Don Mattingly has long been of interest to Loria, though he, of course, is under contract with the Dodgers beyond 2015. A disappointing finish could have some impact on his standing with the organization, particularly due to the fact that he was a hire of the previous front office regime, but for the time being Mattingly isn’t available as an option for the Marlins. Heyman speculatively lists experienced names such as Dusty Baker, Ron Gardenhire, Bud Black, Larry Bowa, Jim Riggleman and Rick Renteria, among others, as candidates. Frisaro and Spencer have both written recently that further changes are expected throughout the organization, with the scouting department among the areas that could be overhauled.
