Francis Martes, the astros #1 prospect, #17 overall prospect by baseball america, was recently called up and looks to be a solid member of their amazing rotation going forward He was traded from us along with Colin Moran and Jake Marisnick for Jared Cosart, who we traded for Andrew Cashner, who left as a free agent So for the Astros top prospect, Colin Moran (tearing it up in AAA right now), and Marisknick (solid player) we actually got nothing in return
It's almost like they feel bad since their great run only netted 1 title while we sucked and came away with 2
It sucks that Marcel, Bour and Stanton all deserve to be all stars and most likely well only get 1 of them
Because the game is here, they will all get in imo. Home team always gets the benefit of the doubt on ASG bids
Best part about the Marlins winning is listening to Guillermo's excitement the next day on LeBatard. His Justin Bour nickname segment was hilarious on Tuesday
Rays To Acquire Adeiny Hechavarria By Steve Adams | June 26, 2017 at 2:26pm CDT The Rays and Marlins have agreed to a trade that will send shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria from Miami to Tampa Bay, reports Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (on Twitter). The Rays will send outfielder Braxton Lee and right-hander Ethan Clark to the Marlins in return and will pay the remainder of Hechavarria’s salary, according to Spencer. (Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times was the first to report that Lee and Clark were involved in talks.) Hechavarria, 27, has been out for more than a month due to a strained oblique muscle but is ready to return to the field. While he doesn’t bring much to the table from an offensive standpoint, he’ll dramatically improve the Rays’ infield defense whenever he’s on the field. The Rays have relied primarily upon Tim Beckham and Daniel Robertson at shortstop in 2017 due to the fact that projected starter Matt Duffy has missed the entire year to date with a heel injury that recently required minor surgery. From 2015-16, Hechavarria posted excellent defensive marks at shortstop, grading out at +18 Defensive Runs Saved and a +24.1 Ultimate Zone Rating. However, while that superlative glovework was paired with a respectable .281/.315/.374 batting line in 2015, Hechavarria has slashed just .241/.283/.319 in 614 trips to the dish since that time. He’s also earning $4.35MM this season, which was reportedly the Marlins’ primary motivation for finding a trading partner. The Rays will control Hechavarria for one more season via the arbitration process, if they’re so inclined. Retaining him would mean giving him a raise on that $4.35MM salary in arbitration, though his injury and lack of production at the plate will likely limit the size of the raise to a fairly nominal amount.
We don't have the pitching staff to be a "win now" team. Sell off a couple pieces while they have good value, rebuild farm system.
Why? He's 29, not a piece for the future, and outrageously overperforming at the moment. Need to be realistic with a roster this bad
They made Ozuna switch bats because of too much pine tar....he hit a bomb on the third pitch he saw after
Loria spilling out money that he won't have to pay to all the cocksuckers around him Those contracts should be voided by the mlb
