    I think they got a great return from trading a damn catcher.  This was an A+ move for the Fish.
    Yea for the future but most likely not this year.

    They have no team for this year...silly to hold on to something that you know you only have for 2 years vs. the potential of a SP prospect like that.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Obviously, I just want Mattingly to have a managing job after this year.

    If you want your boy to succeed, wouldn't this be a good thing? He'll never win with the Marlins.

    I despise the fact that they have two titles in the last 25 years. What a fraud organization.

    Not many teams are going to be hiring old school type managers. Even if they agree to adapt to analytics they'll just hire someone with no managing experience and get orders from above. It's worked with the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, and Astros.
    Also they're changing the culture and getting younger and who knows if these guys end up being really good and someone else gets to benefit from it like Roberts in L.A. or Torre with the Yankees

    This franchise blows. Mattingly has no shot of succeeding here.

    His best bet if he has a choice is to stay and continue with this team. Giants and Royals might have openings next year

    They'll probably hire a 30 year old former minor leaguer the way things are going now

    Igotid....I am curious since you're also a Yankees fan. How many of these Marlins games did you sit through last year just because Don Mattingly is the manager?

    2019 predictions
    Fivethirtyeight 64-98
    Rotoworld 66-96
    Fangraphs 65-97

    So they need to be better than 65 wins
