Soroka was cruising and Ozzie had two hits last night when the rains came. Murphy got absolutely shelled and only lasted 0.1 inning.

And at the end of the day, that "star" could potentially even wind up being Dansby. Let him go see what he can get in the open market. If it turns out none of the fringe contenders/teams looking to take the next step are willing to go big for him, there's always the chance things could really...

You're right - didn't go beyond the highlighted part... Postseason Roster: A postseason roster takes effect only if a team clinches a playoff berth. Players who are part of the team's 40-man roster or the 60-day IL on August 31 are eligible to participate in the postseason. The one exception...

Think that's the way I read it - yes. IIRC, players had to be part of the 40-Man at that point to even be eligible as injury replacements once the rosters contract back down to 26 when the playoffs start.

I'd go so far as to argue that replacing Dansby with one of Diaz/Iglesias is the way to go if you're in Alex' shoes. If you're REALLY looking to upgrade the offense and overall flexibility of the entire roster this winter, there's little question Ozuna will be dumped whether or not you can find...

IF - and a huge if at that - Ozuna was going to be released if they're not going to try to find somebody to at least take a portion of his money this winter, I wonder if that might come next week. Going to need to free up a spot on the 40-Man Roster when Ozzie is activated, and the only other...

Had to be on the 40-Man by midnight yesterday.

I'd think "easy" is the relative term here. Dansby's really solid - at times spectacular both defensively and offensively - but is far from irreplaceable IMO. The Freeman situation was different because you needed to replace him with a legitimate middle of the order bat, and given their ages...

Bobby Brown?

Hadn't noticed just how bad Jesus Aguilar had been until now. Knee-jerk reaction was that it's time for Ozuna to develop a phantom injury and replace him until looking at the numbers... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/marlins-dfa-jesus-aguilar.html

And at 5 years/$100 million plus an option would be a very good sign and a cornerstone. Anything more than that is an overpay.

I wasn't - I used his whole career. That said, this still makes the same point. A player that is 9% above league average is worth $150 million? Wow.

Plenty of ways to mix and match that group - so much so that trading Ozzie's contract would be a pretty crazy thing to do. He can give you the 25-30 HRs you're looking for as a corner OF if that's where you want to put him. He or Grissom should be a plus defender out there as well. Trading that...

Have to throw out the 2020 season - for everybody, not just Dansby. When you do that, you realize this is the first time in his career he's produced better than a 98 wRC+ full year - and there are still almost 6 weeks left for him to potentially regress back towards his career norms.

Make HIM your LF if you want to play Grissom at 2B. Would be incredibly hard to find someone willing to trade you a player that will produce MORE than Ozzie likely will over the rest of his deal for that kind of money.

Nothing wrong with that - everybody (myself included) here does the same thing. Just don't call it "scouting" when you've never seen the guy play. That's EXACTLY what everyone *itches about when the various Top 100 lists come out - "these 'idiots' haven't even seen the kid play".

He has - March 2015.

The number Russ threw out there.

Good job - keep "scouting" those boxscores!!!

Because he can also be an elite (and potentially even better) Closer for $15 million less than Jansen is making. Enscheff has rightly pointed out the legitimate concerns about Strider being able to remain a starter when he loses a tick off the fastball, and the quickest way to make that happen...
