Like the deal for the White Sox. Perfect bridge for Collins/Skoug

This tells me that Chatwood most likely the 5th starter and it either Ohtani or Cobb...

So, all the talk about trading for a TOR type starter is most likely not happening now

It’s about what Hammel got and he is a fair Comp.

Hoping this is not a white flag move myself

It's better..perhaps Hickey can get his numbers under control
His splits from 2017 is much much better away from Colorado

Speculation is that this was the F/A pick up. The other will be either Ohtani or losing on him making a trade.

So this is Lackey’s replacement.

Now there has been some rumblings on NYY looking at Schwarber. Not sure if it is legit and honestly I really don’t see a match up. Cubs need a arm and so do the Yanks.

This seems like it's a big deal with him, so hopefully Wrigley is different for him.

1A types. Ozuna is closer to Altuve and Goldschmidt that he is to Rizzo and Bryant

Dear lord man, if you think Ozuna is a better player than Bryant or Rizzo you're certifiably insane.

Just for starters Bryant has compiled 21.6 WAR in 3 seasons and to Ozuna's 14.2 in 5. Ozuna has a had 1 year over 4 WAR, Bryant has had 3 over 6. Ozuna has posted 3 years of a wRC+ over 130, Ozuna did it once in 2017. You're statement is ludicrous on it's face.

Don't you remember man, last year on the team with the NL MVP, Ozuna and the Marlins won soooooo many games. Like 77 of them.

The Marlins are acting like they have a bunch of old veterans and need a rebuild. To me it looked like they only needed some pitching. Could have signed a new #1 with Straily and Urena as #2 and #3. Starlin Castro is still good and is coming off of his 4th all star appearance but they still gave away Stanton, Ozuna and Gordon.

Last season:

Stanton 27 years old and MVP (traded)
Ozuna 27 years old and 2016 and 2017 all star (traded)
Gordon 29 years old and a former all star and one of the better lead off hitters (traded)
Realmuto 26 years old and one of the better hitting catchers
Yelich 26 years old is solid and a potential all star
Bour 29 yeas old and competed in the home run derby

I don't think a team like that needs a rebuild.
