It’s Hot Stove season
MLB free agency is underway. Anything can happen in the offseason, from trades to super-stars signing mega-deals, although the Marlins are looking at a quiet offseason. Still, everyone is taking their best guess at who the team will bring in to continue the rebuild.
MLB Trade Rumors took their shot...
MLB Trade Rumors predicts Avisaíl García to the Marlins for 2 years, $12 million https://t.co/6i77rsZHRZ

Raise your hand if you said Avisail Garcia would be the big free-agent signing for the Fish! The Venezuelan is coming off a bounceback campaign in Tampa, and if he can be had at the suggested price tag ($12 million over two years), he’d make sense as a cheap veteran power bat.
We certainly proffered perhaps more fun options, Sergio Romo and Eric Thames so far. And there’s more to come.
