1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Hello Marlins fans, and welcome to this edition of Big 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod for Tuesday, December seventh, two thousand twenty one. 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,079 Speaker 1: And if you under the small Pod, he would like 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: to give you all the information about the Marlins for 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: that particular day all season long, in ten minutes or less. 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: And Marlins fans, we are still in the midst of 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: an MLB lockout and things do not look like they 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: are going to change anytime soon. The owners, the players 9 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: junion are still going at it, still having us lockout, 10 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: and you know, some things have changed. It looks like 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: the major league portion of the Rule five drive right 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: now has been postponed, maybe canceled, but we still have 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: the minor league portion of that coming very soon for 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: the Marlins. But over the course of the weekend we 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: did get the election of six new Hall of Famers 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: for the Golden Era Committee. 17 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: Who were elected. 18 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: It was Skill, Hodge's Jim Cott, Minni Munoso, Tony o Levi, 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Bud Fowler, and Buck O'Neil and Marlon's. GM Kimmand was 20 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: a member of the Golden Days Air Committee and voted 21 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: in her her ballot to bring in six. 22 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: New Hall of Famers to Cooperstown. 23 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: But talking about the Marlins, not a lot of has 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: happened over the course of the last couple of days. 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: There's still a lockout. Things that look like they're going 26 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: to change. Probably the major news for Miami was the 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: post that Jhrald Farrow did thanking the Marlins, thanking the 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Marlins organization as now he is going to the San 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: Diego Padres to be reunited with their new catching coach, 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Francisco Sorelli. But for the Marlins, I want to talk 31 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: a little bit about their pickups from the offseason and 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: maybe some things Marlon fans can expect in terms of 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: maybe their rotation and maybe other moves once the lockout 34 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: is done, hopefully very soon. You know, we all know 35 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: the big names that they picked up as via Gacia, 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: Jacob Stallings, re signing Sandy out gon Dada, which was 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: easily in my opinion, I think if the biggest move 38 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: they could have done. 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 2: I think that's just the best thing possible. 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: Someone who wants to be here with the Marlins, someone 41 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: who who doesn't, because sometimes we have more the players 42 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: who they want to leave. You know, maybe they get 43 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: bigger money or maybe attendance. 44 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: Or be able to be able to grow their brand, 45 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: but to see Sandy want to. 46 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: Stay in Miami for five years plus a six year 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: club option for also the amount of money they got 48 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars, which is just really incredible that 49 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: they were able to just give that much money to Sandy, 50 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: and Sandy could have easily gotten double triple that once 51 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: he eventually hit the open market. But that's I really 52 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: do like that that signing that that's probably the best 53 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: one so farthest off season from Miami was getting Jacob Stallings. 54 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: The next one that I wanted to talk about was underrated. 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: We're in terms of the player they got, but it 56 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: could be a little overrated in terms of what they 57 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: had to give. And that was the Joey Wendell trade 58 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: Marlins made with Tampa Bay Rays. They did trade Cam Meisner, 59 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: who was one of the top prospects in the Marlins organization. 60 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: A lot of this has been the one that's caused 61 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: a lot of the vision the cut of you know, 62 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: most talk about about them in the Marlins trades and 63 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: fitst stripes the fans. It's just because a lot of 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: people had Cam were really high. If you just one 65 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: of the top prospects in the Marlins organizations and one 66 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: of the players that could potentically be in the outfield 67 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: for the Marlins in the future and be a star 68 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: player like the Marlins can one could develop. 69 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: But Joy getting Joy Wendell to me shows the Martins 70 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: are in position to win now. 71 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: They don't want to wait another five years six years 72 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: for someone who could potentially come up and be a 73 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: good player or productive player or a franchise caliber player. 74 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: But for Joey Window, he plays almost every position in 75 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: the field. He played short, third, second, He wasn't All 76 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: Star last season, having his best season of his career, 77 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: but he's not someone gonna hit three hundred and three 78 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: to twenty. He hits around two sixty two fifty around there. 79 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: But mainly for him coming to miamis defensively, That's what 80 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: I'm guessing. The Marlins were really impressed by, especially his 81 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: capability to play in multiple positions, which the Orleans already 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: downrep with. They love guys who were able to play 83 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: multiple positions across the diamond, and Joey Window could do that. 84 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Maybe Brian Andersons doesn't play third, he goes to the outfield, 85 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: or he's injured. You stick, Joy Wendell, jass Chishom could 86 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: get hurt you put him there, Miguel Rojas, Joy Wendell, 87 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: But I think what the could potentially be an everyday player. 88 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: It just one needs to know where Donald Mannley wants 89 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: to put him. And the last one I wanted to 90 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: talk about for now, uh, the last two Jacob Salins 91 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: and Ariel Garcia. That as Via Garcia, I think it's 92 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: a really good trade. I mean signing for Miami in 93 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: terms of the money they gave him, but it's. 94 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: Really hard to think. 95 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: You know, hopefully as Viel Garcia can hit twenty twenty 96 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: five home runs for Miami develop into him be an 97 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: all Star caliber player, because I don't think he's going 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: to develop anymore. But the time the contract ends he 99 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: is thirty four years old. But maybe if he can 100 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: work a little bit under walking more and striking out 101 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: lest then that's an a plus signing. 102 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: Because then Moreland just do need hitters. 103 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: These guys who can hit home runs and Garcia does 104 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: that a little bit can be defensively with the one 105 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: to put in the center, I think putting in the 106 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: corners will be the best bet with Garcia. And then 107 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: the last one, probably the best of all of them, 108 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: aside from the from the resigning, probably the best of 109 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: the new players is Jacob Sollings. 110 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: We traded Connor Scott. 111 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: The names are escape, but we traded a whole bunch 112 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: of players. Kyle Nicholas, Connor. 113 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: Scott, another player that scares in my mind. 114 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: But the Marlins did trade for Jacob Stallings, and I 115 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: do love that trade for Miami getting the catcher. We 116 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: so desperately needed a catcher that really fits what the 117 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Marlins are looking for. 118 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: He's not gonna hit. 119 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: A lot for average, He's not that type of player, 120 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: but he is a player that can go and and 121 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: be a star wars defensively the last person who's Zach Thompson, 122 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: forget that. But he's gonna be really great for Miami. 123 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 1: I expect, you know, big things, especially behind the plate. 124 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: And he's a catcher that's gonna help the pitching for man, 125 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: he's in the he's the catcher who's in to help Sandy. 126 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: His sues Pablo Elias are six though Edward. He's a 127 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna make those pitchers better. And you know 128 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: when you talk about Sandy and Edward at six though, 129 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: those guys think they can be better, you know, they can. 130 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: Have another step. Jacob is gonna help him. 131 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: Along that way. He just want to go glove. He's 132 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: just hitting his prime as a player. But it's really 133 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: great to have him. We have our fig three years 134 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: of control. The Moments already win now. But they signed, 135 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, they signed and traded for these guys, and 136 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: not one of them is under thirty years old. 137 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: The youngest one is Garcia at thirty. So the Momains 138 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: are looking. 139 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: For players to win now. They are looking for now, 140 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: not tomorrow, not the next day, not the future. They 141 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: are looking for guys who can win now. 142 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: And I love it. 143 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: I love to see it. It brings me, you know, 144 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: a lot of hope. And hopefully Bars could capitalize on 145 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: this and still make one more move. And it really 146 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: see what the Marlins could do because they have this 147 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: and maybe the Nicolas Cassos. I hope so, but I 148 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: think that ship, that ship has sailed. I would really 149 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: enjoy it if they got maybe someone like Kennedy Jansen. 150 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Marlins need a closer reliever. That's probably the biggest need 151 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: right now for Miami, and they could get Kenny Jansen 152 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: and then this is a plus offseason for Miami and 153 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: I think everyone should be excited for the fourth and 154 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: future holes for the Marlins. 155 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: That does it for me. 156 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: Make sure to like sir and subscribe to wherever you 157 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: get the small pot, and do remember this, always go fish.
