For me, 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: I will be continuing the big Fish Small Pod. 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: Every week, but. 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: It will be my day will be on Tuesdays, and 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: then my co host at Wardell will be his for Friday. 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: So you will get the big Fish Small Pod every 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: Tuesdays and Fridays. But first we have to talk about 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: the Marlins, because the season's done. 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: It's over. It almost seems like the nightmare is over with. 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: We've woken up. 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: And the Marlins did end the season on a high note, 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: which is really great to see. The Morlands actually, you know, 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: they won the series against the Phillies, which is really 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: great momentum to actually have it the next year beating 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: your provision rival two out of three. The last series 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: of the year should bring some good momentum and just 25 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: maybe some good thoughts for the Marlons going into next year. 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: But overall, if you want to look at the season 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: as a whole, it was not kind to Miami. They 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: did finish sixty seven and ninety five, twenty one and 29 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: a half games back out of first place, But the 30 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: Marlons did finish at fourth, so they were not the 31 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: worst team. 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: In the National League East. And also to look forward 33 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: to in the off season and later on. 34 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: Next year, the Marlins will have the sixth pick in 35 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: the MLB drafts, so they are picking top six and 36 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: usually there's a lot of great prospects of college high school, 37 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: but the Marlins will be keen to look at. But 38 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: we'll be talking about the draft months in advance when 39 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: it comes closer. But for right now, let's look at 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: the Marlins players. Maybe guys who probably won't be here 41 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: next year, guys who who should stick around. On the 42 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: top of the list of guys who should stick around, 43 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: you have to go, I believe a guy who should 44 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: be competing for starting catcher or at least you know, 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: bench guy is Nick Fortes. Nick Fortes has been dominating, 46 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: just a man on a mission. He has been almost 47 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: lights out. Excuse me, four home runs on the year. 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: Nick Fortees has been done with a Nick Fords should 49 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 1: definitely be at least a spring training offer. 50 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: He should get it, be able to compete to be on. 51 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: The active roster for Miami, and he should be able 52 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: to get that opportunity in the coming months. 53 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: But you look at the. 54 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: Marlins, this season was not great at all. You look 55 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: at their home runs and I'm looking at up guys 56 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: who are still in the roster because before we talk 57 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: about home run leaders easily go to Adam the ball. 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: But for Miami the highest was just his sus agular 59 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: was twenty two. Right after that, Jazz Chisholm with eighteen, 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: his Sue Sanchez with fourteen, and Sue Sanchez is a 61 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: guy next year. 62 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: Who I think is just going to have a breakout season. 63 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: His SU's just. 64 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: Came up a bit late this year in terms of 65 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: heating up, but when he did, he has been dominant. 66 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: He has fourteen, He had fourteen home runs, eight to 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: eight ops on BABS percentage of three to nineteen. Sanchez 68 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: was looked really great in the second half of the 69 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: season when he got more opportunities in the starting lineup 70 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: is the guy that Marlin should just place there for 71 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: the next couple of years and just watch the develop 72 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: watch it become a star, because I believe his Susanus 73 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: has that potential. And another guy that Marlin should at 74 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: least look at it for maybe the fourth outfielder or 75 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: even in the starting in the starting outf is Brenda 76 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: la Cruz de la Cruz. Since that trade for Jimmy Garcia, 77 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: which is probably the best trade that Marlin done this season, 78 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: looked really good to you know, his average is not bad, 79 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: it's really good. 80 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: His average is around ninety six. 81 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: He has you know, five home runs, will drive in 82 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: some runs as well. 83 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: But his main aspect for me is just defensively. He 84 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: is really great defensively. 85 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: He will get lot to catch the ball, he will 86 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: put an extra effort to catch a fly out, He'll 87 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: put his body on the line. Brian Dela Cruz is 88 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: a great player to have in the outfield, and especially 89 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: if we're talking about a depth guy, someone who's twenty 90 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: four years old, who turns twenty five in December, this 91 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: is a really great player to have still developing. He 92 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: hasn't even played a full season yet, and it was 93 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: really great this year for Miami, and then we. 94 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: Go to the pitchers. 95 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: The biggest question mark out of the month will be 96 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: his sus Lusorrow in my opinion, just you know him 97 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: coming out with Miami, he has not been great. He 98 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: he haves his highs as low as but his lows 99 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: are way worse. They do not look good. His highs 100 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: they're good, but Lisarto was not good at all in 101 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: my opinion. Since that trade, and you look at Darling Marte, 102 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: should just all start a little level season, should probably 103 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: get you know, maybe a couple al MVP votes, maybe 104 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: like top ten at the very least, but starting Martinte 105 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: has been incredible this season with the A's after being 106 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: traded from Miami. Who's loose to her husband, almost a 107 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: complete opposite. And that's just one trade that Miami probably regrets. 108 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: And the other one is to add Duvaut Alex Jackson trade, 109 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: which we're not gonna get into because that the podcast 110 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: supposed to be left in ten minutes that he'll probably. 111 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: Be an hour. 112 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: But to look forward to a free agency, the number 113 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: one guy that the Marlins look at hopefully trade signed whatever. 114 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds. Brian Reynolds is an. 115 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: Incredible player, especially you know, playing for the Pirates, which 116 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: horse than the Marlins, and they they have just been 117 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,239 Speaker 1: you know, Brian Reynolds has just been incredible this year 118 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: with the Pirates, and it's someone that that Marlins desperately 119 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: should get to try to to try to get. So 120 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: just there are a whole bunch of players that the 121 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: Marlins do need to do need summer leaders, because I 122 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: don't think you have to bring back. 123 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: Anthony Bass. That is not someone I would bring back. 124 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: Maybe in terms of having him at the reliever. 125 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: Role, but not out of the closer. 126 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: Do not have him come and pins the ninth inning 127 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: because we've seen what how how's that been for the 128 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: Marlins this season? 129 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: They have been burned by Anthony Bass in the ninth inning. 130 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: And you know, we would all love Miami to. 131 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: Get guys like Carlos Korea, Trevor Storry, Corey Seeger, even 132 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: a Jave Bayaz, But I really don't see Marlin's picking 133 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: up someone like that, especially. 134 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: How much money, because the other guys who could probably ask. 135 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: For one hundred million dollars and probably we'll get it, 136 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: and especially catchers, it's gonna be difficult. They're gonna have 137 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: to make a trade, you know, someone maybe like Jacob Stalins, 138 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: because the free agent market is again full of veterans, 139 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: and I don't think that Marlins are gonna try to 140 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: get some like a Buster Posey Magzunino, Yan Gomes. It's 141 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: gonna be really difficult for Miami to do something like 142 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: that and will probably have to trade market much more 143 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: than just straight. 144 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: Up signing someone in free agency. 145 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: But someone that they should look at, especially in the outfield, 146 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: that can help out is someone like Mark Hanna or 147 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 1: someone maybe like Tommy Fam. Tommy Fan's a little older 148 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: at thirty four, but those two guys are veterans, their 149 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: leaders in the clubhouse. They will help them Marlind especially 150 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: their young outfield, you know Brandon la Cruz and his 151 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: sus Sanchez, they will definitely one hundred and ten percent 152 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: help out. 153 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 2: They wild. 154 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: Once you have a veteran like that who's been there, 155 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: who's done that, they make everyone better. And that's why 156 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: the Marlin should try to acquire someone like a Markna 157 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: Tommy Fam maybe bring back as Tony Marte, who knows. 158 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: We'll see. 159 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: But another guy to really look out for is Chris Taylor. 160 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: He'll drive a pretty penny, but Don Man didn't mention 161 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: earlier this season that he likes that style of a 162 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: player that is able to have multiple positions, maybe like 163 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: a Nick Castillano's will be someone really great for Miami. 164 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: Hit a home runs, bring in fans, sell up jersey. 165 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: Someone that would be really great. 166 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: But overall, it's going to be a very interesting offseason. 167 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: I'm over ten minute mark. It's a lot of things 168 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: to talk about. It really hard to squeeze in ten minutes. 169 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: But Big Fish Small Pod will be back this Friday, 170 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: so make sure to check it out and stay up 171 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: to date with all of Fitz drives because we are 172 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: not going anywhere and the season has just started.
