1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to this edition a Big Fish Small 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: Pod for Wednesday, November twenty second, twenty twenty three. And 3 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: if you are new to the small Pod, here we 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: like to give you all the information about the Marlins 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: for that particular day, all season long, in ten minutes 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: or less and Marlins fans, I am continuing the series 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: of free agents the Marlins could potentially target this off season. 8 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: We did catchers, we did infielders, now it is time 9 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: for the outfielders. Again. With this position, it is going 10 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: to be very difficult to how Marlins target these positions. 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: But here are some players I would like to see 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: the Marlins potentially look at. Obviously, with the outfielders, players 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: that will not be targeted by the Marlins, Taskar Hernandez, 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger maybe potentially like Jock Peterson, players like that. 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: But with this position, the Marlons do need some help, 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: as i've Aviy Garcia has not been it. Brian de 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: la Cruz, you never know if he's gonna hit three 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: hundred one month or he's gonna hit one point fifty. 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Very inconsistent, and with his sue Sanchez probably have the 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: most potential, but again injury prone and can be very 21 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: inconsistent at times, and we have Jazz Chism who win 22 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: healthy is an all star caliber caliber player could give 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: you thirty thirty win healthy, but the thing is win healthy. 24 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you guys can give you as 25 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: the listeners, some players and marlins can't potentially target in 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: the outfield. And first up, we're gonna go ahead and 27 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: start with Joey Gallo. Yes, you might be hearing this, 28 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Joey Gallo. He just talked about batting average, b D 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: Brian de la Cruz. But with Joey Gallo, you are getting, 30 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, obviously batting average. He's not gonna hit two 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: fifty to eighty. Two fifty would be a dream come 32 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: true of the mornings. To get down of Joey gallow 33 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,279 Speaker 1: He's gonna hit two one hundred to twenty at best. 34 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: But what he is, He's gonna slug the baseball. This 35 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: is a home run hitter, boom or buffed as it gets. 36 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: He's the three true outcomes guy. He's either gonna walk, 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna strike out, or he's gonna go and hit 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: the long bomb, a high fly right field and deep. 39 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: Joey Gallows second of the Night into the second deck 40 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: and the Twins have broken it open. First homer to 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: Night was a homeer in only four ballparks. That one. 42 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: You can't find a park that that's not a home run. 43 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: Holy Cown with the Minnesota Twins last season, after having 44 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: a very disappointing year in twenty twenty two with the 45 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Yankees, had one of his better seasons. 46 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: Really great when in terms of you look at Jerry 47 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: Gallo and how he played it with the other teams. 48 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: Again only one hundred and eleven games played. He was 49 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: injured for some some time, but again a seven to 50 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: forty one OPS twenty one home run, which was his 51 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: most since twenty twenty one. And with Joey Gallo obviously 52 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: you're getting go home runs. But defensively he is one 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: of the better outfielders in baseball. He has one of 54 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: the strongest arms, and for the Marlins, they could potentially 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: get him and slot him into an outfielder spot when needed, 56 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: but of course would primarily be the DH and taking 57 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: in place of Joy Hilaire Gallo should be cheaper then 58 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: maybe what Hoy Sailire is getting. And again you could 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: give Joey Gallo a one year deal if it, if 60 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: you please it and it will not be over ten million. 61 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: He got one for eleven last year with the Twins. 62 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: I expected to maybe be one year, potentially anywhere from 63 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: seven to ten million dollars with Joey Gallop. So thats 64 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: player number one. Another player just got a ring with 65 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: the Rangers, and that is Travis Jenkowski. You might be saying, who, Well, 66 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Travis Gankowski made a name for himself in this post season, 67 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: especially in the World Series. This is a guy who 68 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: would not be expensive at all, only signed a one 69 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: point two to five million dollar contract last season, But 70 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: again with the way he performed in the postseason and 71 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: his potential as well that he can give you. He's 72 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: older thirty two, so years will not be it would 73 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: not be it again another one year deal, maybe a 74 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: two year deal with that second year maybe potentially being 75 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: a club option. And with Travis Knnkowski, he could give 76 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: you that extra outfielder for the Marlins again signing him 77 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: who primarily might have to be a fourth outfielder, kind 78 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: of like a Garrett Hampson type role. But in the 79 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: outfield and when he did play, he was not bad 80 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: at all. To sixty three batting average. He's not going 81 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: to strike out win at the play forty two strikeouts 82 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: in two hundred and forty seven at bats. This is 83 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: a guy who again went off in the World Series, 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: had a really great series there and just coming in 85 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: after Adulis Garcia got injured you twenty twenty three his 86 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: entirety of that series with the Arizona he played in 87 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: three games but had eight oh four ops. He had 88 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: two RBIs And I think with Travis Goynkowski it only 89 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: give him more time. He has not played that many games, 90 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: so maybe not much wear and tear on his body. 91 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: Only one hundred and seven with Texas, and I think 92 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: with the Marlins it will be potentially not bad to 93 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: give him a shot. A very underrated name for the Marlins. 94 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: The next one Hunter Renfro, not the Raiders wide receiver, 95 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: but the right fielder who went from the Angels and 96 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: then he was waived and went to Cincinnati and did 97 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: not fare well. Hunter Renfro. His metrics have not been 98 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: great at all. But with Hunter Renfro again, as like 99 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: Joey Gallo, you are going to get those home runs. 100 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: He will strike out a ton, but again those home 101 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: runs and that slugging can't be valuable again with his 102 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: high o p as his on base percent is not 103 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: going to be the best. If he gets over three hundred, 104 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: then that is a good year for Hunter Renfroll And 105 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: you just look at him. Obviously defensively has not been 106 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: great at all last season with his he had a 107 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 1: negative one point zero war Defensively, offensively not the best 108 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: of years. But again with Hunter Renfell, it would be 109 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: another one year type deal, kind of approved deal to 110 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: have him there of maybe a potential splinting DH fourth 111 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: outfielder type role and just in case someone gets hurt, 112 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: will not cost a lot for the Mormins. Potentially again 113 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: underrated player. And here's a nice one too, a bit older, 114 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the oldest one in this group, Jason Hayward, who had 115 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: you could say, a comeback year with the Dodgers. He 116 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: had a two point zero war one point nine you 117 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: could say, his highest war since twenty nineteen with the Cubbies, 118 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: and a really great year he had with the Dodgers. 119 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: He might be more inclined to stay with the Dodgers 120 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: just because how well he played, But again, this is 121 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: someone who's been in the league a long time, could 122 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: potentially want more money. He had an eight to thirteen ops. 123 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: He was slugging the baseball to sixty nine at batting average, 124 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: his highest there since twenty eighteen, on base percentage over 125 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: three forty his highest since twenty twenty. A really great 126 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: year for Jason Hayward. And you can always have that 127 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: veteran presence. Chason Hayward again last season played one hundred 128 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: and twenty four games. You can get the same amount, 129 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: equal or less from him in the Marlins. And if 130 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: you know injuries are gonna happen, knock on Wood that 131 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: they do, but you have to always might have to 132 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: think like what if this player gets down, what if 133 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: something happens to the outfield, And with that Chason Hayward 134 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: could step in and you'll get quality quality play offensively, defensively, 135 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna get as good as you would think, a 136 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: little bit below average. But for what the Marlins could 137 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: be potentially paying him and what they could obviously expect 138 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: from Jason Haywood, I would think that it will be 139 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: a really good signing to get him again, an older guy, 140 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: a veteran could go and teach the young guys. You 141 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: could teach DC Hey, Sus Sanchez chissup just what it 142 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: means to play in the outfield and offenttively, because he 143 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: is one of those accomplished players in baseball and the 144 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: guy you want around in the clubhouse, a guy who 145 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: can mentor not just the outfield, but it seemingly everyone. 146 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: He will go in there and he'll instantly be Everyone 147 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: review him as a leader type role, a veteran, someone 148 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: to respect. And the last player will be quite expensive. 149 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: We had his brother last or excuse me, the Marlins 150 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: had his brother last season, and I'm obviously talking about lords. 151 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: Gorriel Junior with a three point old war had an 152 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: All Star season with the Arizona Diamondbacks. You look at him, 153 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: twenty four home runs, eighty two RBIs seven to seven 154 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: to two ops, only thirty years old. So again, this 155 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: type of contract might have to be four years or 156 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: around fifty million dollars, and with him, I believe it's 157 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: something that could potentially be done. You look at his 158 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: World Series. You had a really good World Series, eight 159 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: five zerops. You look at his fielding again, a little 160 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: bit above average overall in his entirety of his career, 161 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: including how he went the Arizona completely changed him from 162 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: when he was with the Blue Jays to Arizona Diamondbacks. 163 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: But a guy that could potentially benefit from playing here 164 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: in Miami obviously Cuban, so you always have that in 165 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: the background. He might be more inclined to sign with 166 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: the Marlins, and it's something that could potentially be an 167 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: improvement for everyone in the team. And you look at 168 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: highest platoon splits in twenty twenty three, he mashed against 169 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: left handed pitching, which has always been something that the 170 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: Marlins have desperately needed. He had three h one batting 171 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: average eight to fifteen ops and even if you look 172 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: at him versus rieties, still not bad. Again, not getting 173 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: on base as much as you would like to see 174 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: against Ryan Hended pitching, but what you're getting from him 175 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: offensively with the home runs, the hitting, that is something 176 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: that the Mormons could sacrifice. And I think Lordus Guriel 177 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: would be a very nice signing for the Marlins. And 178 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for outfielders Lordus Gurriel, Chasing Hayward Hunter, Renfro, 179 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: Travis Jankowski, and Joey gallow This has been big fish, 180 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: small pod. As always, go fish
