Posted September 18, 200519 yr I know its just FOX generalizing things for media/hype purposes...but is there any truth or even substantial rumors to the Marlins possibling pulling a last second trade for a shortstop? Just wondering...
September 18, 200519 yr Possible? Hell anything is possible. Probable I wouldn't think so especially with 4 or more players on the roster that can play SS. Maybe they'll go with Cabs at SS and Dillon at 3B.
September 18, 200519 yr I highly doubt it... Anyone we pick up right now will only be available the last 14 games of the season, or however many games are left. He wouldn't be eligible to play in the post season, so what's the point??

Alex is probably done for the year.. so we get a SS to help us for 2 weeks ?? Then can't use him in the actual playoffs?? That's smart...

Obviously not a great situation either way.
September 18, 200519 yr You all do realize trading was banned all together as of August 31st, right? 952039[/snapback]Â No it wasn't. The players you get thru waiver trades are just not eligible for the playoffs.
September 18, 200519 yr Right. I am le stupid. Regardless, someone in the race would block the transaction. At least, if they were smart, they'd block it.
