Here are the day’s minor moves:
- The Marlins have added outfielder J.B. Shuck on a minors pact, per MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro. He’s among the incoming players who will compete for jobs in camp with an organization that is expected to make some big changes to its MLB roster. Shuck, 30, owns a lifetime .251/.299/.328 batting line through 1,090 career plate appearances at the game’s highest level. He failed to crack the bigs last year, though, spending the season instead at the Twins’ top affiliate. Shuck carried typically impressive plate discipline numbers (41 walks against 43 strikeouts) but hit just .259/.325/.368 with four home runs through 475 plate appearances.

So far this offseason has been a disaster. However, December should be a really fun month.
Especially with the winter meetings. I predict the Giancarlo Stanton trade going down at the meetings. I say Otani gives a team a Christmas eve present, and signs there. I also predict Alex Cobb going to the cubs, and multiple relievers getting snagged in December.
Good move for Mr. Shuck. Too bad marlin fans…
Oh Shucks!
Good for JB….the sarcasm and overall negative comments seem very dumb. It’s baseball news. The fact that people feel the need to poke fun at this guy getting a chance to play is just lame. If you ever played the game past 8th grade and can appreciate how difficult it is to play at a high level consistently should earn some respect.
I was thinking the same thing
