I feel like this is yet another not so good return for the Marlins. I get that they got two top 10 prospects from a good farm system, but they didn't get any top guys for someone who was a monster last year and doesn't cost almost $300M.

I don't know why people like boras are being so outspoken about this fire sale. The Marlins missed the playoffs badly, have zero farm system, there's a chance Ozuna, Stanton(he was in total control with his no trade) and Gordon have already had their career years. Why not trim payroll, build an actual farm system... oh right because Boras thinks they should spend crazy money on free agent starters like they did with that disastrous Chen deal.
You have to have a farm system, this is their only way to get one. Nice bat for the Cards.

Jeter was also given an impossible situation. Didn't help that his predecessors killed the farm system.
Also I bet things are different if Hernandez never drives that boat.
They should trade him too. Probably the best chance to get a good haul. Of course, they should have got a good haul with Ozuna but....Poor Yelich

Alcantara isn't Alex Reyes, but he's nothing to sneeze at. Kid's a very talented prospect. Don't sleep on Gallen either. Some of my big time baseball fans were really sad to see him go.

You got a pretty solid package. Alcantara has electric stuff and I’m high in Gallen. I’ve also heard good things about Castano.They should trade him too. Probably the best chance to get a good haul. Of course, they should have got a good haul with Ozuna but....

I like Zac Gallen a lot and Alcantara is legit. I think this is definitely better than the Stanton trade, but still they might have sold short.
However the Marlins franchise is absolutely devoid of pitching talent so this one at least makes some sense

Ahhh, 2003 was magic. Magic I say!
Just messing with ya.
I remember Joe Buck referring to Miguel Cabrera as "The 20-year-old Venezuelan" about 455 times in the 6 games.
He tried to reprise it this year with "33-year-old rookie" Yuli Gurriel, but it didn't have the same magic

According to Steve Phillips the Marlins were asking the Blue Jays for AT LEAST BOTH of Bichette and Vlad Jr. for Ozuna...
If that's true then I don't even know which gif to insert here for that.
