Alongside Aram Leighton of Just Baseball, Ely Sussman breaks down how this impacts the rest of Miami's offseason. Then, they quibble about Aram's Pablo López blockbuster trade idea, the development of prospect JJ Bleday and Griffin Conine being left unprotected for the MLB Rule 5 draft, concluding with an Alcantara-themed "Decision Quiz."
