Marlins Have Shown Interest In Tim Anderson

By Steve Adams | July 27, 2023 at 1:16pm CDT

The Marlins are among the teams looking into White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, reports Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The two-time All-Star is in the midst of a down season but could be viewed by some clubs as a buy-low, change of scenery candidate.

That’d be the hope in Miami, where the team’s in-house options at shortstop have also underwhelmed. Marlins shortstops are hitting .258/.301/.335 on the season, with Joey Wendle, Jon Berti, Garrett Hampson and Jacob Amaya all having appeared at the position. Anderson’s .245/.285/.285 line is even worse than that, though he’s hitting .378/.440/.422 since the All-Star Game and .300/.345/.350 overall this month. Beyond that, Anderson has a lengthy track record of excellence at the plate; from 2019-22, he batted .318/.347/.473, leading all qualified hitters in batting average during that time.

Anderson would be a pricey addition by the Marlins’ standards. He’s being paid $12.5MM this season and has a $14MM club option for the 2024 campaign (though a $1MM buyout makes it a net $13MM decision for the team). He’s still owed about $4.5MM of this year’s salary between now and season’s end, plus at least the $1MM option buyout.

Looking ahead to the 2024 season, Miami only has about $38MM on the books — assuming slugger Jorge Soler opts out of the remaining one year and $9MM on his contract. That’s before they pick up a $3.5MM option on Berti and before considering raises for notable arbitration-eligible players. Luis Arraez, Jesus Luzardo, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Tanner Scott, Trevor Rogers and A.J. Puk are among Miami’s arb-eligibles; Arraez, Scott and Luzardo, in particular, will be due notable raises from their respective $6.1MM, $2.825MM and $2.45MM salaries for the 2023 season. Penciling in a $14MM salary for Anderson from the jump would put Miami on track to run a $100MM+ payroll for just the third time in franchise history.

At this stage it’s far from a given that Anderson will end up in Miami — or even that he’ll change hands at all. The White Sox aren’t looking to tear the roster down and embark on another lengthy rebuild but rather are looking to retool to take another shot at contending in 2024. Anderson could well be a part of that, and a big second half would quickly restore the notion that his option is an easy call to exercise. As it stands, it’s a far closer call than anyone would’ve reasonably expected heading into the year.

That said, Chicago’s top prospect, 2021 first-rounder Colson Montgomery, has ripped through minor league pitching since returning from a monthslong stay on the injured list. Montgomery has scarcely played above the High-A level but figures to see ample time in Double-A later this summer. It’s possible he could be ready for a big league look at some point in 2024, and the Sox could always trade Anderson and then sign/acquire a low-cost veteran to bridge the gap to Montgomery this offseason.

The White Sox already traded Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez to the Angels last night, and as of earlier this month they were reportedly willing to entertain offers on anyone other than the quartet of Dylan Cease, Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Vaughn. The Marlins, meanwhile, got into the trade game yesterday as well when they swapped Dylan Floro for Jorge Lopez in an exchange of struggling relievers.

        Anderson has 7 multi hit games out of 11 since the allstar break, like a .370 clip. He can still play, he’s just been unhappy with a terrible and hopeless team. I think he’s playing hard right now in the hopes somebody trades for him, which I hope happens for his sake. I mean the Sox are a bad situation that isn’t going to be better for years.

          I’m sure Anderson has small periods of time you’re talking about peppered all over his career. He’s 30 years old and has been in the majors since he was 23. We can stop expecting him to develop into a star shortstop now.

          There’s nothing wrong with the Tim Anderson of today. Everything is relative to cost and provided the prospect capital is reasonable, I’d pull the trigger to get him.

      I don’t think Anderson is overvalued. He has some self created drama this year for sure. And it’s absolutely affected him at the plate. He has looked to just be gaining through the motions this year until recently.

      Sheets is not a Major league player, and hislack of time on a woefully bad team finally shows they realize this.

        No I think Sheets lack of playing time shows the woeful coaching on this club. Sheets can clobber the ball but how often has he really been given a chance at 1st on a consistent basis? They put Grandal out there tonight for god sake, not because he is better than Sheets at first (he is definitely not) but because they want his bat in the lineup. I think Sheets can do as well if given the playing time. Instead they put a guy out there in Vaughn who has done nothing now that he is at his ‘natural’ position and keep putting Sheets out in RF where he has no business being. With nothing to play for, Sheets should be put out at 1st every game. If he sucks, fine then move him, or demote him, but at least give him a chance at his natural position (as we have seen what Vaughn hasn’t done there)

          Why? What about Sheets’ 219/292/362 qualifies him as ever seeing more playing time, other than being a LH hitter? It doesnt get better when you look at his advanced either. He is not a Major league baseball player.

          Atleast Vaughn is 244/314/418. While not much better, his advanced metrics show he has had some bad luck. And most people that know things, IE not armchair GMs, believe this is growing pains with him still.

          I think orgs stare too hard at the data. I look at a guy like Remillard, 28 finally getting a shot and has played fairly well at the major league level. Lets see what Sheets can do when actually playing on his natural position, We have already have seen Vaughn there and he is nursing a bone bruise. Perfect time to see Sheets at an extended look. At least Sheets has enough stretch to get the errant throws from Moncada and Anderson.

      TA has always been a bit injury prone, but his legs haven’t been able to stay healthy and sustain power, so he’s just dinking singles. When he can get his hands out and go oppo he will tear up pitching again.

        Well I think a major part of the problem on the White Sox is they have a clown show for a conditioning dept. Yeah the player needs to take care of themselves, but its also up to the org to really watchdog that stuff. The White Sox have WAYYYY too many players getting preventable soft tissue injuries on their club.

    Tim Anderson would be a nice fit if we can get him for little in the assets department.

    I’m wondering, with both Anderson and Segura having bad years, but both itting better lately, would a package of Segura and a mid-level prospect and another low-level prospect would work for Anderson, especially when considering the money involved. Of course, this would depend on whether the White Sox are in a full rebuild or just restructuring what has failed. They are in a division that any of the 5 teams with a good offseason, can win it next year since it’s the worst division in MLB.

    Anderson can go, Its a bit obvious that the infidelity has taken a toll on his performance, but they must have gotten something straightened out there as he has been hitting better as of late, but I think the clubhouse has gotten sick of his (and Im guessing others) antics: Poor fielding, not producing in the clutch (leaves A LOT of guys on base), always hurt lately and with preventable injuries. Yeah I get that’s not really a winning resume for another club. The only thing I think Hahn can sell on Anderson is when he is on he is on, and if not in an enabling environment like the White Sox org maybe he becomes the player he was a few years ago. That and maybe ask for only a bag of slightly used baseballs….
