All-time MLB home run champion Barry Bonds has reportedly received an offer to be an additional hitting coach for the Miami Marlins.

The New York Mets have a surplus of arms, to put it mildly. They could dip into it to address their needs on offense. Or they could double down and defend their National League crown with a young, burgeoning super rotation.

The Miami Marlins do so many things wrong that it's easy to start believing they do everything wrong.

It's just not true.

Look at Dee Gordon. The Marlins made a great deal last December to get him from the Los Angeles Dodgers. If all goes well, maybe they can follow it up with a great deal this December to prove they want to keep Gordon long term.

After spending the first part of this offseason trading players, the Atlanta Braves have added a pitcher to the mix by signing free agent Bud Norris. 

The Braves confirmed the one-year major league deal with Norris on Twitter. According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Norris will make $2.5 million in 2016.

The Miami Marlins are apparently on the verge of trading a budding young star, as the Seattle Mariners are reportedly working to obtain outfielder Marcell Ozuna, per ESPN.com's Jerry Carsick. In fact, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro noted Ozuna could be part of a bigger deal. 

Hey, you there. Unnamed general manager. Word is you're interested in a blockbuster trade for Jose Fernandez.

Well, good luck convincing the Miami Marlins to do it. But if you can...well, let's just say you have the right idea.

The Miami Marlins are reportedly listening to offers from teams interested in trading for second baseman Dee Gordon, per Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.

A few months ago, Bryce Harper entered 2015 looking to silence the many doubters who thought he was, at worst, a huge disappointment or, at best, overrated.

If nothing the Washington Nationals star right fielder did throughout his phenomenal 2015 campaign could, him winning the National League Most Valuable Player should do the trick.

That headline sounds absurd, doesn't it? The guy already has three All-Star appearances, two postseason appearances, 97 major league home runs and a DVR full of knock-your-breath-away highlight clips.

Seriously, you need more Bryce Harper hype right now probably only slightly more than you need an IRS audit.

The Atlanta Braves started the process a year ago.

The plan, wisely implemented and shrewdly executed by a new front-office regime led by president of baseball operations John Hart and general manager John Coppolella, was to build the franchise into a youthful contender by the time it opened its new suburban stadium in 2017. That meant trading away much of the club’s core and stockpiling young pitching.
