I'd love to have Jose Fernandez, although It's my opinion, his "Slider From Hell" Pre: TJ, was sharper, broke quicker, harder, with alot more movement on it, than it did this last year.
I saw all but one of Jose's starts this year. He's still impressive though, Post TJ; even if his fastball has only lost approx: 1-2 mph, his slider still capable of mid-90s. But not the impossible to hit, eyes in the ball type of Slider. N
I have no doubt Jose will regain any every ounce of speed, accuracy, more=so dominance.
Your right, the Marlins are asking the farm for Him in return. I'd not give up the players like Miller that are Key to this Team, not Betances, not Bird, not Severino, these are the "Hell No's".....
As far as Fernandez and the Yanks, I don't agree at all with this article,
(noted below) or- giving up anyone noted herein for Jose. The back n forth of Miami saying "he's not going nowhere", to Olney saying chances are increasing considerably, then back to no deals. WTF.

Any other's, (tho' I'd rather see Judge grow up a Yankee), someone will have to eat some crow for Jose.
Then we hear this:
Donnie BB is back in the LA news daily, over Jose, and the Young Guns, He's mentioned in return, ie Cory Seager, Julio Arias, and/or Joc Pederson; (might as well say "the farm"). Donnie knows the value and talent of the Bums Prospects, as well if not better than the brass, ......in Tinsel Town....
