So Turner banged Loria's wife, I guess.

Lies. Make something happen.

 

Would love to add Turner to the fold. Our depth in the rotation for next year isn't too shabby.

I know Kyle says positive things at times about the FO. It's actually nice to see him gaining optimism.

Brad penny is being added to the Marlins 40 man roster this weekend so the marlins will no longer have the option to re add turner

 

What!? Do they think they are still in the playoff race or something? And, if so... Brad Penny? That's who they are using to replace Turner? The 36-year-old who hasn't pitched in two years and hasn't had a sub-5 FIP or ERA since 2010?

 

They just traded a top-100 prospect, who was drafted 6th overall a year ago, and another guy that was a top-100 guy before the season plus a comp pick for a guy in Cosart with a career 1.26 K/BB rate. I mean, Cosart has a worse FIP and xFIP than Turner this year. Sure, Turner's fortune hasn't been all because of bad BABIP luck. But, they are essentially the same pitcher right now, except Turner is slightly younger and doesn't have any options left. So, I was already kinda confused, but... Brad Penny?

 

And why not just put Turner in the pen?

 

I have no idea what the Marlins are doing. But, their front office is an absolute joke, when you look at this, the Cosart trade, and the Bryan Morris trade. They must not look at analytics, like, at all.

I thought they only had 2 days to make a trade anyway.

I hear his teammates felt so bad for Dunston, with his illness and all, that they all gave him hugs in the dugout.

I have to wonder if they've been trying to sneak guys like Vitters, Jackson, Szczur, maybe Olt and Lake through waivers but been unable.

 

The Marlins only leverage is that they can re-add him. The Rockies passed yesterday, and I don't see why they'd have changed their mind in the past 24 hours. It's just a case of "I want Almora." "I'll give you Rademacher." How about about Hanneman?" "How about Dunston." Dunston and Underwood?" Dunston and Antigua." "Dunston and Maples?" Dunston and "Dunston and Jensen." "Dunston and Jensen?" "And because I like you, I'll throw in Chien." Who?" *BEEP* "Stacy, bring me a pen, will you?"

More like:

"I'll give you Rademacher."

"Maybe; how many RBI's does he have?"

"Or would you rather have Jensen?"

"I'm not sure; how many wins does he have?"

That would be the obvious answer, but I'd really want to get him right in that rotation. Again, I'd rather just let Jax and Wood take turns on the DL. Or as unpopular as it would be, we could simply option Hendricks or Wada.

He was talking about the Marlins.

But now if they pulled him back they'd have no option but to put him on irrevocable waivers which gives him away for free. Without adding Penny they'd have the option to reinstate him to the 40(and 25-man) roster after 10 days.

Well, if Marisnick hadn't exhausted his rookie eligibility this year, he'd be nowhere near a top 100 list. He's going on 200 PAs of pathetic major league performance and was fairly meh in AAA this season. It's not as if Cosart is without a pedigree to himself. And calling Cosart and Turner the same pitcher because their FIPs match up is so lazy.

 

Bryan Morris has been pretty [expletive] fantastic since coming over, but yeah that trade appeared screwy, but it's quite possible teams don't value draft picks in the 30s(and I'm not certain they should?)

 

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a dumb move to dump Turner to get Flynn on the 25 man or Penny on the 40 man, but talking about the Marlins FO being an absolute joke with their track record while working for the worst owner in professional sports(who no doubt is behind this "playoff push") is pretty damn stupid.

Damn. I've been programmed to believe its not possible Kyle could compliment the FO.

 

you're thinking of back2banks

 

I've complimented the FO when they have made a good move. Unlike many posters, I don't throw around compliments just because it's "our" FO making the move. Something like making a good deal to get Turner or Hamels would be worthy of a compliment.

And of course there's the dream scenario of acquiring both in one 3 team trade in which the Marlins get Junior Lake, Phillies get Wood and a Marlins prospect.

This needs to happen at some point today, right? Or is it tomorrow?

I believe it is 48 hours which would be tomorrow if the clock starts from the point that they make the claim.
