Providing you with Realmuto updates on a daily basis as momentum builds toward a blockbuster deal.
Although J.T. Realmuto has been on the trading block throughout 2018, the Marlins haven’t budged on their high asking price. That approach has made me uneasy at times, but according to multiple reports, it’s serving them well—he continues to draw interest from a wide variety of suitors. Jim Bowden of The Athletic identifies 10 teams who are “in” on the All-Star catcher as we kick off...
After years spent developing as an infielder, BA was quick to adapt to his new position midway through the 2018 season. What’s the best fit for him? Watch and decide for yourself...
In Thursday’s Fish Stripes roundtable, the majority of our writers selected Brian Anderson as the Marlins major leaguer they’d be most comfortable locking up long term.
On a related note, what exactly is he?
BA began and finished the 2018 season at third base as Martín Prado struggled with injuries....
Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto continues to attract wide interest across the league. According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, five teams are most aggressively leading the charge in Realmuto trade talks. Realmuto has been in trade rumors for quite some time. The Mets have been widely linked to him, but they’re clearly not the only suitor. The catcher is expected to be in high demand. The .277 hitter is coming off his first 20-home run season for the Marlins, and it looks like he’ll...
Michael Hill and the Marlins front office head to Las Vegas for a critical week that could impact the future of the franchise. With arguably the best catcher in the majors available for trade, the Miami Marlins will be one of the teams to watch at the 2018 Baseball Winter Meetings. The Marlins, who are entering Year 2 of a full rebuild, will be an active “seller” at the Winter Meetings because of J.T. Realmuto’s trade value. Miami’s lone All-Star in 2018 took home the National...
Since the end of the regular season, the most pressing question surrounding the Marlins has been when and where will All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto be traded? The Winter Meetings, which get underway on Monday in Las Vegas, are expected to provide plenty of answers as the Marlins are open to dealing their best player.
The veteran second baseman seemed like a trade chip for the Marlins at last year’s MLB Winter Meetings. Will they find a contender to unload him to this time?
Just stating the obvious: the Marlins never wanted Starlin Castro. The veteran second baseman was forced upon them in the Giancarlo Stanton trade. Though desperate to slash payroll, on the other side of the negotiating table, the Yankees had their own mission to get below MLB’s luxury tax threshold. Shipping out the expendable...
One of the biggest names on the MLB trade market is J.T. Realmuto. Should the Miami Marlins decide to deal their catcher, they’ll have plenty of options. Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports reported that “the Marlins have interest from no fewer than 14 teams for star catcher.” Excluding the Washington Nationals, this includes all of their National League East rivals. That there’s a lot of interest is far from surprising. Realmuto is one of baseball’s best offensive catchers. He is a...
J.T. Realmuto isn't the only order of business for the Marlins as they prepare for next week's Winter Meetings. Adding bullpen depth also is on their priority list.
The young right-hander made a surprisingly leap onto the club’s 40-man roster last month. Holloway tells Fish Stripes about how Tommy John surgery helped his career and expectations for 2019.
In late September, I was able to attend an instructional league game in Miami between Marlins and Washington Nationals prospects. It truly was a great experience for everyone involved. One comment that really stuck with me from that day: “He has come back with fastball control hitting anywhere from...
With MLB Pipeline's Top 50 Draft prospects list out, all 30 teams should be ready to just have the Draft now, no?
Previewing the 2018 MLB Winter Meetings and tackling big-picture issues from the Marlins’ perspective. Five questions, 14 perspectives, one article. Welcome to the second installment of the Fish Stripes Staff Roundtable. Every few months, I’ll cook up some compelling topics concerning the present and future of the Marlins—or baseball in general—and ask the crew to weigh in. We’ve got a great conversation this time with the MLB Winter Meetings looming next week. The following...
The Marlins said in October that Don Mattingly would return for his fourth season as manager of the club. But it took until Wednesday to round out the rest of his staff.
The four hirings reunite manager Don Mattingly with a few old friends. The Marlins have hired Mel Stottlemyre Jr. (pitching coach), Trey Hillman (first base/infield coach), Jeff Livesey (assistant hitting coach) and Kevin Barr (strength and conditioning coach) to fill out Don Mattingly’s 2019 major league staff, the club announced Wednesday morning. The remaining positions will be filled by familiar faces from last season’s 98-loss campaign. And here’s the full press release: Marlins...
The Marlins have announced their coaching staff under manager Don Mattingly. In addition to preexisting members, Mel Stottlemyre Jr. will serve as pitching coach, Trey Hillman will join as first base/infield coach, Jeff Livesey will become the assistant hitting coach, and Kevin Barr will run the club’s strength and conditioning. Stottlemyre comes over from the Mariners, who decided not to retain him after the 2018 season. He only briefly reached the bigs as a pitcher, but has spent most of...
A fun night in Coral Gables, meeting the young players and personalities who’ll be leading the next great Marlins team.
CORAL GABLES, FL—The Miami Marlins brought their Holiday Block Party to Giralda Plaza for a Friday night filled with entertainment, new merchandise and most importantly...players and executives! Derek Jeter, Lewis Brinson, Pablo López, Nick Wittgren, Chip Bowers, and on and on it goes.
Keep your eyes open for an upcoming FOX Sports Florida featuring yours...
A few weeks overdue, but hopefully we got it right!
There is, as you might expect, frequent turnover in the sports blogging world. Only a few current members of the Fish Stripes staff remain from when my move to managing editor became officially official six months ago. Frankly, I have no clue what the website’s logo looked like prior to 2012, or if the site even had a logo back then. Perhaps some of our loyal commenters can provide a history lesson?
Point is, I feel confident in stating...
The Marlins are asking for at least one controllable major-league asset in the package they receive for Realmuto, according to The Athletic.
Thanks to Kris Cartelle for inviting me on the debut episode of his new Marlins/MLB podcast! You listened to my trusted writer Luis Davila weigh in on dozens of Marlins players as a guest on Painting Corner Podcast (if you have not caught up on their conversation, fix that now). My turn! Kris Cartelle recently launched 305 Baseball Talk. Pretty self-explanatory: he’ll be covering the latest Marlins news and offering his analysis. And judging by the first episode of his pod, he’ll be very...
Trade chatter surrounding J.T. Realmuto will persist throughout the offseason following the definitive declaration that he won’t be signing an extension with the Marlins. While the Marlins reportedly have a preference to trade Realmuto outside of the division, Andy Martino of SNY writes that the Mets are looking into Realmuto now that they officially have Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz on board. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, in fact, reports that the Mets reached out on Realmuto earlier...
[rubs hands together] Now we’re talking!
Earlier on Tuesday, J.T. Realmuto’s agent Jeff Berry appeared on the Swings and Mishes podcast with Craig Mish and stated the obvious: an offseason trade would be a “win-win” for both J.T. and the Marlins. He wants to compete for a World Series title, while the club doesn’t feel comfortable paying market value on a long-term extension. The divorce seems inevitable.
Just a few hours later, Mish reports some progress on the trade...
