MLB Twitter reacts to Miami Marlins trading for Boston Red Sox pitcher Matt Barnes: "Really nice landing spot for Barnsey", "Marlins are clowns"

The Miami Marlins have acquired former All-Star pitcher Matt Barnes from the Boston Red Sox. Barnes was designated for assignment by the Red Sox after a disappointing 2022 campaign. He will be entering his 10th season in the MLB, and it will be his first season not with the Red Sox. The Miami Marlins traded pitcher Richard Bleirer in exchange for Matt Barnes.The trade was likely about the experience that Barnes could bring to the Marlins' burgeoning bullpen. He knows what it takes to be a professional in the league and what is needed to win a World Series championship. This has been a busier offseason than usual for the Marlins and shows their commitment to building a winning baseball team.Ken Rosenthal reported on the trade and its details on Twitter.Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalMatt Barnes is heading to the Marlins in a trade, sources tell @TheAthletic.

Marlins were looking for experience in their bullpen. twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…He was an All-Star just two years ago, but some fans fear injury concerns will stop him from reaching those heights again. It is somewhat surprising that the Marlins were willing to pay the 18,750,00 dollars that Barnes still has coming to him on his contract. While he may have signed elsewhere if not for this trade, they likely could have gotten him for cheaper.Nick Wilcox@NickWilcox12@Ken_Rosenthal @TheAthletic Lfg, Marlins are clowns.

Forever Matty Backpacks in our hearts. twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/…Many fans of teams that needed relief pitching help were hoping they could land Barnes in free agency. Any team in the MLB could benefit from the addition, such as the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox. Pitching is at a premium in the modern MLB, which is why the Miami Marlins made this trade.San Diego Angel Fan@SanDiegoAngelsso glad the Angels decided to give up the rest of the offseason twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalMatt Barnes is heading to the Marlins in a trade, sources tell @TheAthletic.

That’s a nice move twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…The Marlins are building the foundations for a good team to compete in the National League East. Their competition is incredibly steep, so it makes sense to build for the future. Barnes, as an experienced veteran, will be a part of building up the young players. Having the former Boston Red Sox World Series champion in the building can only be a positive, especially because he's a fan favorite.Jordan Leandre@JordanLeandre55Really nice landing spot for Barnsey twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalMatt Barnes is heading to the Marlins in a trade, sources tell @TheAthletic.

The Miami Marlins got the experienced pitcher they needed to round out their bullpen.If Barnes is fully healthy and able to regain his 2021 form, this trade will be a home run.
