1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Hello Marlins fans, and welcome to the edition of Big 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod, fourth Thursday, March twenty fourth, two thousand, 3 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: twenty two. And if you aren't into the small Pod, 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: he would like to give you all the information about 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: that Marlins for that particular day all season long, and yesterday, 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: Marlins fans, we had a game between the Miami Marlins 7 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: and the Washington Nationals. Miami did win that game three 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: to two, and there were many impressive things coming out 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: of that game. First one with Sandy Alkontat getting a 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: second start of spring trading, finishing with four innings, one hit, 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: one and run, and four strikeouts. That was really great 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: to see from Sandy having just a really great game 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: so far, really really good spring for Sandy playing up 14 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: to his contract, even more the fifty five million dollar contract. 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: It's so crazy to think about it. Up he had 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: a really great game. Another great game is Cody Potit. 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: Cody Potit through two innings, only gave up two hits, 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: walked one batter, no strikeouts, but still a really great 19 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: pitching performance to see from Cody Petit. And in terms 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: of hitting me and Marlin's only had not only but 21 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: had eight hits multiple one hit games, Joey Wendel, willianis 22 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: after Leo, a lot of guys. Rom McQuinn had a 23 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: hit and but it's great to see if the Marlins 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: are so far, like you know, so far doing really 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: great to spring. That may not necessarily translate to regular season, 26 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: but it is great to see how Miami is performing 27 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: with the Spring. Another thing we have to talk about, 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: we have to is the signing of Jorge Solaire Jorje 29 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: Seilaira coming to Miami on a three year thirty six 30 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: million dollars. How proud do you feel about playing here 31 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: in Miami, playing with the Cuban community. So I feel 32 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: very proud of being here. And playing with the Cuban 33 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: community is something like you know, playing home with It's 34 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: something you gotta if it's a great thing if you 35 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: play big play in miamis mentioned before this, I believe 36 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: a great deal for Miami. Thirty six million dollars is 37 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: not that for the type of player you're getting. You 38 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: can actually look at other players like Phillies getting Schwarber 39 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: and Nicholas Castaiano's for a combined close to one hundred 40 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: and eighty million dollars, and they're maybe not all three 41 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: of them the same type of player, but they all 42 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: power hitters and lack in terms of defense. They're really 43 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: just guys hit could give you RBIs, could give you 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: home runs. And that is great to see. It's fee 45 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: Miami getting it for thirty six million, and there are 46 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: options player options after the first and second year, so 47 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: they mean if we do have them for one year, 48 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: maybe it could be trained for Miami that they might 49 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: want to do. But I think it's a great signing 50 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: for Miami and really opens up the outfield, give him 51 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: another piece. Maybe not defensively, because that's still the biggest 52 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: issue is center fielder. And that's true if you want 53 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: to put Avy there, Hyus Sanchez or Avy or haesel Aire, 54 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: but it just really pens it looks like they're looking 55 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: for more power, they want more hitting. They're really saying 56 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: that defense is maybe not the prime focus right now 57 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: for Miami. They want to focus on hitting because that's 58 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: where Miami lacked last season and prior seasons before that. 59 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: But it is good to see Miami making these deals. 60 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: Another thing to just touch on is arbitration and what's 61 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: happening there with Miami. We've seen a lot of arbitration 62 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: deals from Miami these last couple of days, especially with 63 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: the deadline a couple of days ago. The main thing 64 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: that was really on about arbitration was just all these 65 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: deals Miami got looking at Brian Anderson four or seven five, 66 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: John Birdie for one point two, Garrett Cooper two point five, 67 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: Floral three, Eleiser one point three, and the really one 68 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: that was surprising is just the four guys that going 69 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: to arbitration court early the next uh later in the season, 70 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: his Susaguilar filed for seven to seventy five Martins filed 71 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: at seven million. That's close to set seven hundred and 72 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. Apart that the Marlins, you know, they 73 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: could use that money, and I don't know why. Let's 74 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: just give it to to Aguilar. It's not like he's 75 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: asking for ten twelve million. And the other ones Papa 76 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: Lopez Marlon's filed a two, two four five, pollow fire 77 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: that three. It really shows that the Martins probably don't 78 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: really value him as much as he values himself. Injuries, 79 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: not never pitching more than one twenty innings in the season. 80 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: And then the two that are really surprising to me 81 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: are Stallings and Wendell, two guys that the Miami Marlins 82 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: traded for, and two guys they're already gonna have to 83 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: tell them what they don't like about them when they 84 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: get to arbitration court. Especially Stallings. He's only asking for 85 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: three point one. The Martins offered him two four or five, 86 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: not even two point not even two and a half 87 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: million dollars. This man is asking for three point one 88 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: million dollars. Give it to him. He's a glow Gold 89 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: Glove winning catcher. He's the catcher that the fans have 90 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: been wanting. He's been fanned, he's he's been the catcher 91 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: that the franchise has needed. And you're gonna argue over 92 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: six seven hundred thousand dollars really, and then Joey one 93 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: to the last one filed at projectally high number close 94 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: to five million dollars four point nine. Marlins followed at 95 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: four three five, and that's a far apart number. And 96 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: Martins traded Cameron Mais and one of their top prospects 97 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: for Joey Wendell, and they're already arguing about what arbitration 98 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: they want to get. I think that Martins have to 99 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: do it. I think some. I'm not sure how they're 100 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: gonna go. I think Jacob Stalinser might win his three 101 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: point one, but at the same time, maybe because age 102 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: and hitting, Martins could win that. Pablo, I think that 103 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: Martins are probably gonna win that one. I think they're 104 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: gonna go too much on inex pitch and injuries. Joey 105 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Window might win his because of the All Star appearance 106 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: and they might just transfer that and how good their 107 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: rays have been over the last couple of years. And 108 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: I think Aggie seven seventy five will probably win that 109 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: terms of you know, another All Star and what he 110 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: provides for the franchise, But that doesn't for me. Hope 111 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: you enjoyed the Big Fish Small Pod and do remember 112 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: this always, no matter what what, go Fish.
