AROD to sign with Miami?

Enfuego79 · Aug 15, 2016

So the rumor on the street is Alex Rodriguez will sign with the Marlins. What are the thoughts of this? I think it is a bit of a gamble with the chance of a high reward for both parties, a chance for 700 HRS for AROD and a better chance for the 2nd WC for Miami...

I think he wont play anymore this year. After that?

DaClyde · Aug 15, 2016

I don't see how there is an upside for Miami. He'll probably need at least 50 plate appearances for those last 4 home runs. And for them to benefit, they would want them all to be at home. And with him playing like Ryan Howard right now, that's a lot of wasted opportunities to score. They're still in the playoff race, even if only for a wild card spot. Rodriguez would in no way help them get there.

Let's not forget, although AROD will not be a big part of the Marlins success (if he signs) but he will still have something to bring to the table. Ichiro has done pretty well for a 42 yr old, why can't AROD?

He put up a -1 WAR with the Yankees in less than 4 months so all he has to contribute to the Marlins is helping them lose games.

But sure, it's possible he could reach 700 home runs with them. That would be special if you like milestones that have asterisks next to them.

September is not so far away.....at that point it will not hurt any team to add Arod.

Well he's playing like crap at the moment so if I was in the Marlins front office I would only do it if it makes sense financially. He could turn it around but he hasn't shown any signs that he's going to start batting well and remotely consistently.

Kinda hard to be consistent if he was benched for quite some time

Stanton is apparently out for the year. I am sure it makes sense to at least a few people to sign a big name who can possibly hit a little. Not sure how it'd work out in the NL, though.

ARod spokesman just said "it's not happening" regarding the Marlins. So much for that.

Benched because he was horrible and could not field a position

How was he so bad this year? Wasn't it just last season he put up some pretty solid numbers over a full season??

No, one half, borderline all star. The second half was not very good

The first half of the season, yes. The second half? Not very good at all.

Despite the fact that A-Roid was benched much of the season he still managed to put up a -1 WAR. You got to be pretty awful in order to be able to do that.

As for putting people in the stands it's a good move since he's popular in Fla. and so close to 700 home runs. As for putting them in the playoffs, it's a really bad move. I don't think it will happen.

I saw on mlb network that Alex won't play again this year

Maybe nothing will happen this year, but I feel like this won't be the last we will see AROD in uniform

Lancemountain · Aug 16, 2016

I think you'll have to come to grips with this

. I'm not an arod hater but he's too old and he's been awful for a while now. His career is over.
