It has been way too long. We 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: had the lockout and now we are back and the 11 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: Big Fish Small Pod is back. We'll be back four 12 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: days out of the week. We are so happy to 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: do this again, to start this back up and bring 14 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: you some Marmon's news, Marmons coverage, and of course ten 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: minutes or less. This is big, really big. Today was 16 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: players reporting to Jupiter to Roger Dean CHEVROLETI Stadium and 17 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: one of the big big quotes out of the day 18 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: we got from Fitttrap Zone as a gazuit reporting on 19 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,279 Speaker 1: Bruce Sherman. But we will be trading players. We have money, 20 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: we will sign players. That is I hope something that happens. 21 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: I hope so to see that we will be trading players. 22 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: We have money, and we will sign players. I hope 23 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: when they mean we will sign players, they mean maybe 24 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: big time players, players that will maybe cost a little more. 25 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: But in return, you do get a great player somewhere 26 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: that can produce for the team. They are in talks 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: with Joye Lere. That's someone I'm not really that keen 28 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm getting for the Marlons. He did have a good 29 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: postseason with the Braves. Is a World Series champion with 30 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: the incredible run. We canna talk a little bit more 31 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: about the Braves coming up, but his season he hit 32 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: two twenty three. Last year he had an ops of eight, 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: eight to two. He really excelled when he got traded 34 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: from Gansas City, he increased every number. Before that he 35 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: was batting left two hundred and then after getting traded 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: to in Atlanta, he was closest to seventy. So that's 37 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: someone that could be good. But it just really depends 38 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: on his defense and where do you put him. Do 39 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: you put him in left? Do you put him d 40 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: h What about Avy Garcia his sus Sanchez. But the Marlins, 41 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: I think we really need more relief pitching. And he 42 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: also said we will be trading players. I wonder if 43 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: that's a big hint and wave at Brian Reynolds, someone 44 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: at the Marlins would should go after almost immediately. Someone 45 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: like Brian Reynolds would improve the team tenfold, will make 46 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: them as a playoff team, especially with playoffs expanding. And 47 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: we have money. I think you know when you look 48 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: at we will be trading players, we will sign players. 49 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: I think obviously one of those is gonna happen, maybe 50 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: of the two. But we have money. I don't know. 51 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: We see how the Marlins are. Their payroll is always 52 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: at the bottom half, if not the bottom of the league. 53 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: And to say we have money and then maybe hopefully 54 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: they make another signing, a big signing just not have 55 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: you know AVRC and re signing are the biggest dumb 56 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: deals to happen from Miami. But they did make some signings. 57 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: One signing is well, someone we know very well. Roman Quinn, 58 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: center fielder from the Phillies, signed a minor league deal 59 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: with the Marlinds not so long ago. He someone who's 60 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: had somewhat success with the Phillies. A total career hitter 61 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: of two twenty eight ops a sixty six to one 62 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: he's very fast. I'm still thirty nine bases in his career, 63 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: only caught stealing eight times. It's just really difficult to 64 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: look at someone with the Roman Quinn. He's especially in 65 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: a in a minor league deal when he could produce. 66 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: I think Fish Stripes said it best Eli Susman when 67 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: he showed Near Sierra and Roman Quinn side by side, 68 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: and once they've done over the past couple of years, 69 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, Roman Quinn is just Magniere 70 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: Sierra with a little bit more strength and a little 71 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: more pop. Because Quinn does have eight home runs about 72 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: the Sierra zero, but it's not really a big thing. 73 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: He probably compete for a bench spot. And even if that, 74 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: that's nothing really to look at for Miami. Nothing we're 75 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: gonna jump off the page there. But I think they 76 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: do have They did sign another player who excuse me, 77 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: from Twins. I think this is a bigger signing. Maybe 78 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: not much bigger, maybe you know, from like a two. 79 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: This is probably like a three nine half, but a 80 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: decent signing. Nonetheless, he plays multiple positions with the catcher, 81 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: third base, first base. He played with the Twins was 82 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: a fan favorite. People loved them up there in Minnesota. 83 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: Last year he had he had two thirty six ops, 84 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: a six thirty four seventh home runs twenty one RBIs 85 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: decent player. I think he's gonna compete for a backup 86 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: catcher spot for Miami. I think you'll probably get it. 87 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: I think that's a guy that you need to have. 88 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: They'll bring energy, fun to Miami. Players are gonna love 89 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: him in the clubhouse, fans are gonna love him. I 90 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: think give me in the front office, the coaches, everyone's 91 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna love this guy. I think he's gonna bring the 92 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: right attitude the red clubhouse and someone who knows who's 93 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: not gonna be you know, the everyday catcher is not 94 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: gonna get five hundred player appearances, catch almost every single game. 95 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: He knows stocks're gonna his spots, you know, pick and 96 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: choose where to put him. But I think it's a 97 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: good player to have that. He also has experience of 98 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: the positions, which will also help Miami. The last topic, 99 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: one of the last topics I want to talk about 100 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: is the Braves. And you might be saying, why are 101 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: you talking about the Braves? This is Marlins Podcast. Well, 102 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: the Braves did make a big trade today trading for 103 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: Matt Olsen of the Oakland Athletics to be their first baseman, 104 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: which is almost signaling that Freddy Freeman will be gone 105 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: from Atlanta looking like probably to the Dodgers. But that's 106 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: a really big trade in my opinion, because Freddy Freeman 107 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: has been dominant against Miami since he's got to the 108 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: Braves and bringing in Matt Olsen, who if you look 109 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: at the stats, had a really great year, hit just 110 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: under three hundred, had close to forty home runs over 111 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and one hundred and five or more. RBIs 112 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: five years younger, which I think is the big point 113 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: to why Atlanta wanted to make that trade. Five years 114 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: younger ben Freddie Freeman, so any also have two years 115 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: of club control, So the Braves got that you're gonna 116 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: be under thirty when if he potentially leaves the team 117 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: or once he resigned great batting I average, I think 118 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna harm the Marlins, and I think with this trade, 119 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: the Marlins need to be focused on making assigning to 120 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: counteract this because this is those type of trades that 121 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: will impact the Marlins, and every team in this division 122 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: is making trades. The Nets just signed Neilson Cruz probably 123 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: hit another thirty forty home runs. The Phillies are signing 124 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: pitcher after pitcher. They just signed Brad Hand the Mets. 125 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about the Mets. 126 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: The Mets are signing almost every player on the market, 127 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: trading for whoever they feel like it. Steve Cohen is 128 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: going crazy over there, you know, Sirza de Gram, Charlie Marte, Marcana, 129 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: just to name a few. Obviously not with the Braves. 130 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: But Miami can't just you know, counteract those players, those 131 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: type of deals with a deal and Ron McQuinn. They 132 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: need to make a big deal. They can't just have 133 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, Avi Garcia is our main deal. No, they 134 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: have to do something. They have to do for a trade. 135 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: They have to get someone like Brian Reynolds. They have 136 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: to show that they're not going to be a place 137 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: mat and if the vision is not going to be 138 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: a doorstep, they're not going to be a free win 139 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: for anyone who wants to come to Miami. Come down 140 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: here alone, people, Park. I think it's time to put 141 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: up a shut up for Miami. They need to make 142 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: a deal. They need to make a signing. Bruce Sherman 143 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: says we have money. Bruce Sherman says we'll sign players. 144 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: Bruce Sherman says we will trade players. I think it's 145 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: time to do something. You have to make a trade, 146 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: you have to sign someone, you have to make a 147 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: big splash in the big market. It's great to be 148 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: back and as always, go Fish.
