For so long this season, the Miami Heat were challenged by the depth among their big man ranks.Before adding Kevin Love off the buyout market and Cody Zeller off the scrap heap, seemingly, the Miami Heat always found themselves thin when it came to the four and five positions.Last year though, the guy that manned the four for them on most occasions was none other than an opponent in their Monday and Wednesday games.

When the trade deadline came and went without any Miami Heat additions, Orlando Robinson may have expected to have his two-way contract converted into a standard one.But with the signings of both Kevin Love and Cody Zeller, the Heat hit the maximum of 15 players on standard contract.That means Robinson will stay on his two-way contract.

After the Miami Heat's most recent defeat, a devastating dropped game to the winless Sacramento Kings, at the time, Coach Erik Spoelstra had  had it with what he's seen.Though usually one to offer thought after a contest, he's never this bold, candid, or direct.However, after the defeat, he seemed ready to let it all hang out.

As Fish Stripes' own Alex Krutchik detailed last week, Jean Segura 's fit with the Miami Marlins is a bit unconventional.Segura has been a full-time second baseman since the beginning of 2021, a position already accounted for by the team's best hitter, Jazz Chisholm Jr.With plenty of time still remaining between now and Opening Day, perhaps the Marlins will complete trades that make their pieces fit together more seamlessly.

The Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed franchise pillar Clayton Kershaw and also have interest in keeping Justin Turner, who has spent the past nine seasons with the team.Originally signing with the Dodgers on a Minor League contract in 2014, Turner played his way into their everyday third baseman and clubhouse leader.
