Miami projects for even worse. The Marlins still yearn for more cheap, controllable, high-upside talent to elevate their farm system to an elite level and lay the foundation for sustainable success. Stinking against major league competition this season is a critical step in that process. We don’t need to call it “tanking,” but let’s just say—behind closed doors—Miami’s front office will tolerate plenty of 2019 losses if it means selecting near the top of the 2020 MLB Draft and maximizing their 2020-21 international bonus pool. Fish Stripes will be monitoring this “race” for you (and creating new merch inspired by it). FanGraphs ran performance projections for every team prior to Opening Day, but also continues to provide rest-of-season projections as the real games get played. See below for details regarding the five worst teams, including the Marlins, Orioles, Royals, Tigers, and Blue Jays. Orioles 2019 record and run differential (entering Tuesday): 31-68, minus-187 2019 projected record and run differential: 55-107, minus-266 Upcoming schedule: 7/22-7/24 at Diamondbacks, 7/25-7/28 at Angels, 7/29-7/30 at Padres, 8/1-8/4 vs. Blue Jays The Orioles had won three games for a .500 week and a win to their projected record. They now maintain just a one game advantage over the fast-losing Tigers. Tigers The Phillies basically want our whole dang team https://t.co/iiGNjuslxX— Bless You Boys (@blessyouboys) July 23, 2019 2019 record and run differential (entering Tuesday): 30-65, minus-191 2019 projected record and run differential: 59-103, minus-227 Upcoming schedule: 7/23-7/24 vs. Phillies, 7/25-7/28 at Mariners, 7/29-7/31 at Angels 8/2-8/4 at Rangers The Tigers dropped four of five and two wins off their final numbers. They are still two games behind the Orioles in that latter figure, however. With as many tradable assets as Detroit has, I could see this team a lot worse off in a week or so. Royals 2019 record and run differential (entering Tuesday): 37-64, minus-76 2019 projected record and run differential: 64-98, minus-114 Upcoming schedule: 7/23-7/24 at Braves, 7/25-7/28 vs. Indians, 7/29-7/31 vs. Blue Jays, 8/2-8/4 at Twins The Royals had a winning week at 4-2 and picked up two projected wins as a result. Marlins Career-worst 7 earned runs allowed pic.twitter.com/aBXTViWWhk— Fish Stripes (@fishstripes) July 23, 2019 2019 record and run differential (entering Tuesday): 36-62, minus-106 2019 projected record and run differential: 62-100, minus-164 Upcoming schedule: 7/22-7/24 at White Sox, 7/26-7/29 vs. Diamondbacks, 7/30-8/1 vs. Twins, 8/3-8/4 at Rays, The Fish went 2-5 and are now projected to be MLB’s third-worst team at 62-100. Blue Jays 2019 record and run differential (entering Tuesday): 38-66, minus-83 2019 projected record and run differential: 65-97, minus-109 Upcoming schedule: 7/22-7/24 vs. Indians, 7/26-7/28 vs. Rays, 7/16-7/18 at Red Sox, 7/18-7/21 at Tigers, The Jays won three of their seven contests, but lost a game from their projections. They also somehow gained 13 runs off their year-end run differential.

Al Diaz/Miami Herald/TNS via Getty Images Tonight’s Phinsider Question Of The Day is with all the rumors swirling around about Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones what is your take? For those if you that have not read/heard thus far, certain media is reporting that Jones will no longer be with the team when the season begins and that he is currently on the trading block. I am not sure for the full underlying cause of the Phins possibly wanting to discard one of the better defenders on this team in the past few years but I suspect that his large cap hit probably figures into the equation. What is your thought? Should they trade him for picks or possibly a player of need (say a pass rusher) or should they hold on tight to one of the better players on the team? As well as this almost nightly post serving as the Phinsider Question Of The Day post it will also serve as a live thread meaning that pretty much anything is up for discussion so long as you to follow all of the site rules.
