Fish Bites Episode 46: The perfect Marlins offseason plan
Photo by David Banks/Getty ImagesThe Marlins should be aiming for a 15-win improvement from last season, but they can’t mortgage the future to do it. Ely attempts to thread the needle with carefully thought out 40-man roster maneuvers (6:00) and a handful of efficient free agent signings and trades (19:00).
In roughly chronological order, these are the offseason moves that I’d like to see Miami execute:
Pre-Winter Meetings
Release LHP Wei-Yin Chen; designate for assignment Brian Moran (outright to minors if he clears waivers); trade SS JT Riddle and OF/1B Austin Dean for low-level prospects
