Martin: He will see a lot more reps in the OF now. I would heavily consider him in a trade package for pitching. Lewis: I envision him as a much better version of Marwin Gonzalez. Super utility player who is Correa and Buxton insurance. Playing everywhere when a player needs a day off. Most importantly for 2023, he needs to not have any set backs in his rehab, and he needs plate appearances. Wouldn’t bother me a bit if he was mostly DH when he returns in July. Lee: More than likely locked in at 3B unless Miranda makes significant improvements in the field.

Every town would rename a street to Kevin O’ Connell Avenue.

Arizona is definitely confusing. Hard to compete in the AL West with San Diego and Dodgers throwing around silly money. They’ve got a pretty deep farm system but nothing really close to MLB ready. Their acquisition of Gabriel Montero could be considered both a win-now in 2023 and 2024+ foundation move. They signed Longoria who’s old as hell. I don’t get them.

Likely so. And likely worth it for 3 years of control for Gallen. If people want a #1, that’s the guy.

Correa was always a luxury want, not a need for the Mets. Boras likely called them because he knows Cohen doesn’t give a F about the money. Somebody probably talked some sense into Cohen and said you can spend $400 million on Machado next season who's a better fit at 3B.

I know the focus is on the Marlins specifically in this thread. My thought is what are the Diamondbacks doing? What would it take to trade for Zac Gallen?

No doubt. I’d take a few rough years after winning a Super Bowl all day long. It wouldn’t be so messy for them if Matt Stafford remained healthy. Now he’s very expensive and broken down. Aaron Donald could retire any year and their OL is decimated.

It means the merry go round of new shortstops every year for the last 20 years is finally over. And they have a better chance to win more games than they did with Farmer as the starting SS.

McVay will probably do exactly what Payton just did. Take a cushy TV job to escape a messy situation. Then have his pick of the litter in 2024. The Rams will take years to clean up.

Have no fear, Dr. Nick was personally selected to run the physical!

I wanted to trade the farm for Troy Tulowitzki in 2015. He had a pretty good 2016 then injuries derailed his career. I wanted to sign Madison Bumgarner. Little did I know he used up all of his valuable bullets in his 20s. I thought Brian Dozier would be good to great for at least a couple more seasons after we traded him. Not go full Dan Uggla. I thought Brian Duensing would be the perfect sweetener to any trade ?

Major respect to you for owning up to past comments! You can’t go wrong with Cajun or blackened crow.

This is a move that salvaged what was going to be a terrible offseason. It truly couldn’t have worked out better. Our top of the order bat and elite fielding SS is back!

6 years is a HELLUVA lot better than 10-13 years. What a strange turn of events. Couldn’t have worked out any better for the Twins. This move salvaged a terrible offseason.

Excellent! I love the new term too. 6 years is ideal.

Division rival games can go either way. Especially game #3 they’ve played this year. Geno Smith did not look good this week but I’d still give him the edge over Mr. Irrelevant.

THANK YOU DETROIT!

Go for it. Why not? They have nothing to lose.

Really unfortunate that the refs’ shenanigans in the Seattle game will prevent Detroit from making the playoffs. They deserve it after this performance tonight.
