As the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/marlins-news-sixto-sanchez-trevor-rogers-plethora-injury-updates" rel="noopener">Marlins look to clinch</a> a postseason berth, Miami has made a pivotal David Roberston decision.</p><p>The Marlins <a href="https://twitter.com/CraigMish/status/1695849897902137406?s=20" rel="noopener">have removed</a> Robertson from the closer role, via Craig Mish of the Miami Herald. While nothing is officially confirmed, Tanner Scott seems poised to become Miami’s closer.</p><p>Miami acquired Robertson from the New York Mets prior to the MLB trade deadline. However, ever <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-trade-david-robertson-marlins" rel="noopener">since joining the Marlins</a>, Roberston has struggled to find his footing.</p><p>In 10 appearances, Robertson holds a 7.20 ERA and a 9/6 K/BB ratio. While he has made four saves, he has blown three. Robertson had three blown saves over his 40 appearances with the Mets prior to the trade.</p><p>Robertson is still a valuable reliever for the Marlins. A seasoned veteran, he understands what it takes to go on a deep playoff run. Furthermore, he had a sizzling 2.05 ERA and a 48/13 K/BB ratio with the Mets before getting dealt to Miami. Clearly Robertson hasn’t been the pitcher the Marlins were hoping for, but maybe a change in role will relieve him of added pressure.</p><p>With Robertson being demoted, Mish is expecting Scott to get the ninth inning call. He holds a 2.59 ERA and an 83/23 K/BB ratio over his 58 appearances.</p><p>To earn a playoff spot, the Marlins will have to be on top of their game for the final stretch of the regular season. While Robertson has been impressive this season, Miami could no longer trust giving him the ball in the ninth.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It seemed to signal New York’s intent to sell off pieces of their roster amid a disappointing season to this point. One of those <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-new-york-trouble-trading-justin-verlander-max-scherzer" rel="noopener">who could be traded</a> is future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer.</p><p>Scherzer <a href="https://theathletic.com/4730740/2023/07/28/max-scherzer-mets-direction/" rel="noopener">met with the media</a> on Friday night after the Mets defeated the Washington Nationals. In his conversation with reporters, Scherzer revealed his desire to have a discussion with team decision-makers regarding the direction of the franchise.</p><p>“You have to talk to the brass. You have to understand what they’re going to do,” Scherzer said, via The Athletic. “I told you, I wasn’t going to comment on this until Steve (Cohen) was going to sell. We traded Robertson, now I need to have a conversation. I haven’t had that conversation yet. I will.”</p><p>After winning 100 games last season, many expected the Mets to push for postseason contention in 2023. However, that just hasn’t happened. New York is five games under .500 and 17 games behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves.</p><p>On Friday, Scherzer pitched well against his former team. He struck out seven Nationals batters in six innings of one-run baseball. However, the future Hall of Famer hasn’t pitched all that well this season. In fact, his ERA on the season sits slightly over 4.00 even after his start against Washington.</p><p>His track record may precede him on the trade market, though. And given the lack of quality starting pitching available, Scherzer should be in demand. It all comes down to Scherzer’s conversation with Mets brass. This is certainly a situation Mets fans should keep their eyes on ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A veteran like Mark Canha will be tasked with keeping composure amid more potential departures. The Mets have to find something to push them forward. Complete dejection, regardless of this season’s outlook, should never be accepted.</p><p>New York and its fans now wait to see if this first David Robertson domino triggers more moves before the deadline.

This move could just be an appetizer, with future Hall of Famers Max Scherzer and<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-2-significant-variables-in-giants-justin-verlander-trade-interest" rel="noopener"> Justin Verlander also possibly headed elsewhere</a>.</p><p>Robertson was one of the few bright spots on the team in 2023, recording a superb 2.05 ERA and 14 saves in 40 appearances. He was brought into solidify New York’s bullpen but was thrust into the closer role after Edwin Diaz’s devastating knee injury in the World Baseball Classic. His departure brings into focus just how far below expectations the Mets truly are in 2023. Infielder Marco Vargas and catcher Ronald Hernandez are <a href="https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/1684773381810380800" rel="noopener">coming over in the deal</a>, per the New York Post’s Joel Sherman.</p><p>While Queens is being forced to accept its unfortunate fate, the Marlins are venturing into bold and unfamiliar ground with this acquisition. They are officially buyers ahead of the trade deadline, something that is difficult to process given the franchise’s recent history. Even if this ends up being the only splash Miami general manager Kim Ng makes, it is a big one.</p><p>A.J. Puk has struggled with a 4.45 ERA, so upgrading the back end of the pen was essential. David Robertson comes with reliability and a wealth of experience, two qualities the Fish will need down the stretch.</p><p>Mets general manager Billy Eppler is directly making the postseason path of a National League East foe much clearer. While that could be perceived as controversial, he knows that this is likely the best way to prevent further anguish. 2023 is officially in the rearview. The future is what matters to Cohen and company.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The adjustments and the logistical nightmare that come after a trade are things he had <a href="https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/david-robertson-trade-deadline-vbckszk3" rel="noopener">no desire to even think about</a>.</p><p>“I’m not excited about it,” Robertson told Newsday, per Tim Healey. “I like it here. I’m not excited about it. It’s just what happens.”</p><p>“If they move me, it’s because the organization sees a need to, to make them better. If they do, I’m going to end up on a team that really wants to have me. And I’ll probably end up in a very similar role that I’m in now, a high-leverage situation,” the Mets veteran reliever added. “If it happens, it happens. I’ll pack up everything and figure out where to go and figure out which hotel we’re going to live in and all that crap. Cars getting shipped. It’s just a mess.
