Marlins97+03WC Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The Rangers and Indians are reportedly showing interest in Scott Olsen. The Marlins could trade Olsen and still have a rotation of Ricky Nolasco, Josh Johnson, Chris Volstad, Anibal Sanchez and Andrew Miller, so it's something they will explore. One option is to deal him for a catcher to start over John Baker, and the Rangers and Indians are both potential matches there with Gerald Laird, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Kelly Shoppach possibly available. However, early indications are that the Rangers won't trade Salty for Olsen straight up. Perhaps if the Marlins source: rotoworld.com Salty for Gregg and Olsen?

I would rather trade Gregg and Olsen separately unless it was for an incredible return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 If we give them Gregg and Olsen, we're going to get Salty AND something else, I would have to imagine. Even if we don't, I'm fine with that. Trading both of them puts no hole on our roster, and we get back a huge luxury. Quality > quantity.

costabear Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 he Marlins are not done dealing. The Rangers and Indians are among the clubs that have inquired about lefty Scott Olsen. But the Rangers don't appear willing to part with young catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia (Royal Palm Beach) in a straight-up deal for Olsen, who is being "actively shopped," according to a source. Related links * About Nunez The Rangers could have interest in closer Kevin Gregg as well, another source said, but that could depend on who they choose as their next pitching coach. Regardless, the two clubs should have plenty to talk about when the general managers' meetings open Monday in Dana Point, Calif.

MarlinatPenn Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I know he was a huge prospect (literally and figuratively) and he's still young, but for the most part, Saltalamacchia's numbers kinda, suck. Marlins buying low? What is the fascination? I'm not really understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
