Rojas will be 34 for the 2023 season, and is only signed through this season (at a pretty low $5MM).

So I guess this is the Marlins trying to get something for him, while they can.

Not a terrible trade, though with the Marlins, it's another clear case of threading water.

Marlins is an excellent player and has many fans!
His daily challenge with the game weaver game today

Can Chisholm move to short? Does Segura move back to 2B or do they put Wendle/Berti there?

Wow, I haven't seen genuine spambot comments in the wild for many a moon.

Looks like they should be looking for a trade from SP depth for a big league ready MI.

Alcantara for Nick Madrigal! :-)

I don't think Jazz moves back to SS ... if Brian Anderson were still around, sure, but the best setup would seem to be Jazz at 2B, Segura at 3B, someone (Wendle/Amaya?) at SS.

I like Rojas for the Dodgers. Pretty much a perfect fit once they ended up not grabbing one of the top 4 FA shortstops. But Amaya is likely to be just as good and cheaper, and 5 more years of control: Steamer projects him for a 91 OPS+ compared to 93+ for Rojas, and Amaya is supposedly a plus defender similar to Rojas as well.

So I love this for the Marlins, and I think Amaya is probably their primary SS by season's end, if not immediately.

bWAR seems to think that Rojas has been one of the best fielders in the game for the last couple of years. I wonder if that's really the case.

This site is retro in many ways. They've been fairly common around here lately, often randomly resurrecting threads that were dormant for quite a while.

Like it for Miami, get it for the Dodgers.

This is a bit of a hijack, so feel free to ignore (not that this thread might not be dead anyway) but: the Dodgers’ moves might be predicated on trying to get under the luxury tax to avoid repeater penalties. (This would make sense to me as a thing to do but of course depends on ownership’s willingness to spend) - which was complicated with the reinstatement and non-trade of Bauer.
This struck me as an excellent opportunity for a willing team to buy prospects. Acquire Bauer from LA and immediately release him and get paid by LA to do so. So, I wonder:
- do you think MLB told LA “we will consider this an attempt at subverting the rules” (or whatever) and that they would not allow it?
- if not, what do you think LA would have had to give up in order for a team to do this? (Different answers depending on how much salary LA covered)?

Statcast put him 12 outs, 9 runs above-average in 2022 ... #15 in all MLB, #5 among SS. It was kinda out of nowhere -- looks like they rated him as average for the years before that.

He's consistently above average by other metrics.

So the dodgers are no over the threshold and have not re-set, correct? Surely they will find a way to get back under right? A muncy deal perhaps .

Rojas had a big season with the glove the last time he was with the Dodgers: +13 runs above average in limited play. He also saved Kershaw’s no hitter.
