I'm starting to think the Marlins have no idea what baseball is.

Haha, there gm just likes making trades, he gets a kick out of trading there good players for nothing

[lambeauleap87]

They've made some decent trades (Mujica for Cox, Sanchez/Infante for Turner/Brantly), but I don't really get this one.

Nice move by the Pirates, especially after landing Snider.

Official: Sanchez deal to #Pirates is done.

the pirates are starting to build around what was already a solid team

[bigmeady]

They do get the 33rd pick in the draft. And Gaby Sanchez was hitting .202 this year...

[xbignick]

Obviously they did get the pick too, which is valued at a million and a half, I just don't understand the cohesiveness of the moves the Marlins are making. Just seems they're throwing at a dartboard.

[YanksBillsFan]

How many picks have the Marlins acquired? I've lost track!

Meh. I wish the Pirates would actually really try and grab a real hitter for the push - not Gaby Sanchez and Snider.

Agreed...very disappointing deadline this year. They should have gotten Pence....the Giants stole him.

[mgugs46]

Pence or a guy like Choo would have been good too. Something like that.

they do have some protection in their line-up... i would expect sanchez's numbers to increase quite a bit.

not too sure about snider

[pkscards]

Sanchez has been awful this year and is in triple A and Hernandez was a big prospect at one point with some upside.

Don't see how this is a bad trade for MIA. I think they've had a great deadline (except for the Hanley trade, they should've gotten more)

Unless Jones breaks a leg he will be the 5 at bats a week PH.

[nolie]

I think the Pirates are doing it right. With that kind of budget, they can't trade away the farm. They have to build (It's been re-building for years now). Snider is a guy that they hope will live up to his potential with this change of scenery. This Sanchez deal is neither good nor bad. It won't make a big difference to either team really.

[pskell02]

I like the pickup of Sanchez. I expect him to be used as a bench bat to PH a few times a week and maybe get a spot start or 2. The bench has been a weak spot all year long and he should help.
