[Mish] Ng says it is too early to determine if the contracts given out this past offseason (Garcia/Soler) will be successful or not. Small sample etc.
If it’s not ok to cross post someone tell me – just trying to get eyes on r/miamimarlins as well
I mean obviously there’s no excuse, Avi came into the season out of shape, ended with a -1.1 war and was atrocious by the eye test. He’s getting paid 12 mil a year… As for the contracts Kim is technically right you can’t know just from 1 season how it will pan out, but with the sample size we were given it’s not looking good…
Let’s see, although I strongly suspect this is going to be another Chen contract. My guess will be he will suck going forward and they will release him halfway thru the 2024 season.
Imagine how pissed off the rest of the team is over his salary.
The big travesty about all of this is that the Marlins probably didn’t need to give Garcia a 4th year in order to get him to sign with them.
My initial reaction to this deal was how insane of an overpay it felt. I didn’t get the impression that there was a robust market for Avi, so you have to think that three years plus an option should have gotten it done.
The nonsense Kim spewing about having a small sample is her covering her own backside. Avid is the wrong side of 30 and this regime recently admitted to going away from his style of batting.
Shambles.
Avi will get another year to rebound. Unless they flip him for another bad contract. This was Jeters move and most of last off season was Jeters responsibility because he ran the show and held off signing people to nab Castellonos and when there was going to be a bidding war that was the end of Sherman dealing with him. But alot of the free agent were off the board hense the Solar signing. This will be Kim’s first off-season that’s solely on her with Jeter and his cronies gone. Hopefully Solar and Avi both stay healthy and Avi comes into spring fit and ready to be comeback player of the year. Here to hoping we finally have a great off season. LETS GO FISH!
They never should have hired her. Nothing but a publicity stunt gone wrong
