Makes no sense. .

I dont think so. Mo has had enough of overpaying for 30+ aging and skill diminishing players.

By all accounts from EVERYONE was that Miami was unsure if they were going to trade Yelich. If they waited till Miami makes up their mind, they lose Ozuna. "A little more?" It would have took adding Flaherty to the package. Thats not "a little more" talent.
