So now that the dust is settling on the Dan Uggla trade, we’ve come to learn two basic things: The Marlins did make a very fair offer to Uggla and his representatives. They opted to take their chances elsewhere, looking to get a 5 year deal at around $70+M. Marlins offered 4 years at $48M. Kind of reminds one of [...]

Oh man what a deal?! C’mon, be honest, how many of you all thought that the Marlins were going to deal Cody Ross? Of course ESPN said it was going to happen, but really, what do they know? When have they ever gotten these things right? According to Joe Capozzi, there was really never a deal for Ross in place. [...]

Looks like that Ian Kinsler injury turned out to be something the Rangers didn’t want to wait for, and the Fish lose a classy player in Jorge Cantu. One last, “hip hip, Jorge!” for the steady player that was left on the heap when he came to Florida. He now leaves as a respected run producer that can play both [...]

For the most part, the Nick Johnson era kicked off blissfully in Miami yesterday. The Italians have a saying, you know how the day is going to be based on its morning. Well, that means Johnson will have a pretty good impact here for the Fish – his first hit was an RBI double that he got thrown out at [...]

Nick Johnson will arrive in the lineup tonight and it will signify big changes for the Marlins. How long those changes stay in effect is the debate. Johnson will bat 2nd in the lineup, according to reports. His high on base percentage (.408) will give Hanley Ramirez plenty of chances to drive in more runs. This is a great thing [...]

It was a rumor that apparently kept growing louder and louder. The possible deal was Nick Johnson for either Ryan Tucker or Aaron Thompson. Apparently, the Nationals settled on Thompson when the deadline dust settled. It was reported earlier today that the possible deal was off as the Nationals announced their lineup for tonight’s game with Nick Johnson in it. [...]

Logan Kensing won’t be making the trip to Chicago – the Marlins traded him yesterday to the Washington Nationals for minor league reliever Kyle Gunderson. Gunderson will be assigned to A Jupiter, where the righty will continue to develop in the hopes of one day getting into the Marlins bullpen. Gunderson currently has a 2-0 record with a 2.84 ERA [...]

With all the arbitration eligible players on the Marlins roster, there remains a lot of work to do this offseason. The Marlins are apparently looking to add more speed and defense to the roster and try to get a more balanced attack on offense, shucking the long ball for more small ball. So far, they traded away one of their [...]

And the offseason is underway. The Rays lose to the Phillies in 5 games, a bit of a shocker in my opinion, and with that, the offseason is official. Now the Marlins have to look to find a way to compete against the new world champions, the Phillies. Just raises the stakes a bit. The Marlins had been long rumored [...]
