No offense, Marlins fans.
I was going to say that.
I was going to say that.
I do think trading Casey, my only issue with it was he seemed, other than Shaw, who played a lot more, but he seemed very ready to take that next step of getting a lot more big league at-bats and playing maybe not every single day, but playing โ
80 games this year.
So he's someone that good for him.
Like he's going to go to Miami and probably play a ton and we'll get to see how he does.
But I didn't, I was kind of hoping it'd be anybody but him of the prospect world, just because I feel like he was ready to be that guy of, like I said, platoon was saying right field and like DH at times, like he, I liked what I saw from him in the past.
And Ben Brown.
We didn't know Ben Brown either.
I think my two things, one, I completely understand if you want to see the track record.
I think the only issue is obviously if he had three years of 180-plus innings, the price tag is a lot higher.
Yeah, it's like, all right, you're probably adding in two more prospects and maybe even a big league player.
Well, Casey is a big leaguer.
But the other thing I love about it compared to, not to knock it, but the Tucker trade of a one-year deal is you have Cabrera for three more years.
He's still in arbitration for two more years after this one, which I am a big fan of seeing that.
It will take him through his age 30 season.
He's 28 right now.
So that was another good part for me of this isn't a rental.
This is a guy that hopefully stays healthy, can dominate, and you're going to have him for three years before he's even a free agent.
