The Miami Marlins are in the market for a variety of players after they decided to wash their hands of almost everything they did last offseason and start fresh. You could argue that they are in need of a full-time center fielder, just don’t expect Justin Ruggiano to agree with you.

@ken_rosenthal no we don’t. I got this.
— Justin Ruggiano (@justinruggiano) November 29, 2012
Rosenthal obviously didn’t see that coming, and he praised the 30-year-old outfielder for his sense of humor while they exchanged pleasantries.
@ken_rosenthal I’ll be watching. Love the show.

Bravo, Justin. Ruggiano’s witty response is something we need more of on Twitter. It’s not as if Rosenthal was disrespecting him in any way. He...

Ken Rosenthal has Ann update on the Pirates and Jason Grilli.
https://mobile.twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/2745601049620848644
Grilli would probably require a two year deal. He’d be a great option for the Pirates as a closer if they deal Joel Hanrahan this off season. As a set up man he would be expensive for the Pirates, since he’d probably command $3-4 M per year.
