Would have liked Strickland at that price. Damn.

If the Braves could get back Brian Anderson in a Marlins deal, I'd be more interested in the whole Realmuto discussion.
I personally would like to sell on Inciarte now, but don't see how you do that unless you add an outfielder. I don't see how he makes any sense at all for the Marlins. Why are they buying into a declining, mostly all defense 30+ year old who is getting more expensive, unless they have a flip lined up.
this just doesn't make sense.
I could see them being interested in Camargo/Ian Anderson though, with Camargo being the step down from Riley.

Where did I ever say you shouldn't post them? I'm just wondering what logically makes you think he's not making up stuff.
I'd figure he'd have a scoop once a trade is close to completion, which he's had before. But I don't see why a beat writer would be fed information along the way of potential negotiations. Plus, he posts stuff that is just safe enough, where there is no way he can be wrong.

At this point, I'd be satisfied if we made some budget moves to fill out the rest of the roster. It'd be cool if we could get a guy like Marwin, but I'd also be fine with getting a guy like Neil Walker or Solarte on a cheap deal. I'd just like to see us add one more guy who could be a quality bat for us. Then maybe try to get a cheap bullpen arm that may be overlooked. Guys like Tony Sipp or Adam Warren may work, though its hard to pinpoint just how much they may be worth.
Given the way the offseason has gone so far, I just think going for depth oriented moves makes the most sense barring a Realmuto trade, which I'm becoming increasingly skeptical of.
I thought the Padres deal was contingent on an extension with JTR. Interesting we’re at 35/35.
Except it happens all the time in literally every sport. It isn't like this is a unique situation. GMs and agents alike leak info for negotation reasons. Or sometimes they just can't help themselves. Whatever the reason, we do know that Mish has some good connections within the Miami organization and there isn't much reason to assume he's lying.

Mish is no mouth piece so I’m gonna believe him until he gives us a reason not to. The Pads are wanting an extension and the Marlins said it won’t happen so I’m not so sure about them as a landing spot. Besides they aren’t ready to compete this year anyways, they are still a year or maybe 2 from being serious contenders with all of their prospects. I think it’s us unless Jeter just refuses to trade him in the division.
It seems likely that the Marlins FO is leaking stuff to Mish as a means of improving its leverage in trade talks...given this motivation I have doubts about the accuracy of his info
