November 13, 201312 yr General thread for trade and FA thoughts. Feel free to create specific threads as needed. Heyman thinks the Cubs and Marlins could discuss swapping some top prospects since we have pitching & the Cubs have position players. Not sure I see it... Bryant and Mike Olt are 3b where we already have Moran coming, Soler & Almora are outfielders so I doubt we'd have interest. Baez is a stud and would have to take Heaney at least to get him, or a lot of others. I doubt either team is looking to trade those guys.
November 13, 201312 yr Author Orioles are saying Matt Wieters could be available. Quick Loria go sell some more paintings!
November 13, 201312 yr Wieters would be a bad idea. He's a Boras client so we won't be able to keep him beyond next year
November 13, 201312 yr I would absolutely love Baez. Stud shortstops are even more rare than stud pitchers. I would go for it. Maybe Ozuna/Marisnick, and Nicolino. I think there are ways that don't include Heaney but it would entail giving up a ton of good prospects

November 13, 201312 yr I believe a packet that includes DeScalfani and Flynn would suffice for Baez however everywhere I read Starlin Castro is the one being offered by the Cubs BTW the rumor Mill has Houston shopping Jason Castro I hope the Marlins put in a decent bid
November 13, 201312 yr Author I believe a packet that includes DeScalfani and Flynn would suffice for Baez no way that those two could be the centerpieces. Baez is a top 10 overall prospect in baseball right now.
November 13, 201312 yr DeSclefani was our minor league pitcher of the year and Flynn is our most major league ready LHP starter I mean you can substitute for Nicolino you get a bit more potential but less major league readiness You can work in Koehler in the deal as well and these 3 would be solid additions to any pitching staff Koehler versatility is a manager's dream
November 14, 201312 yr You need to include Marisnick/Ozuna+ if you don't give up Heaney And after looking at Baez a bit more, it might not even be possible at all without Heaney.
November 14, 201312 yr I don't think they're trading Baez, Bryant, Soler, or Almora right now. They're also rebuilding, and those guys are all great prospects. The Cubs have a lot of MiLB pitching depth, starting with guys like CJ Edwards and Pierce Johnson.
November 14, 201312 yr Author You need to include Marisnick/Ozuna+ if you don't give up Heaney And after looking at Baez a bit more, it might not even be possible at all without Heaney. I would imagine the Fish include Eovaldi and Alvarez when they discuss potential deals too, particularly now that they've demonstrated a little success up here.
November 14, 201312 yr I thought when I started reading the article that these prospects would be discussed in a package to entice the Marlins to trade Giancarlo Stanton. This isn't happening. Bryant/Baez/Soler/Almora are top of the top of the top prospects, and those are the kind of guys teams don't trade away unless they're getting a proven superstar in return. Stanton by himself would lure only two of these guys max. None of our players or prospects other than Stanton would lead us to any of these guys.

Impossible!
November 14, 201312 yr I believe a packet that includes DeScalfani and Flynn would suffice for Baez however everywhere I read Starlin Castro is the one being offered by the Cubs BTW the rumor Mill has Houston shopping Jason Castro I hope the Marlins put in a decent bid How did this go unnoticed? Castro would be a HUGE acquisition for the Marlins... Astros have shown they are more than willing to wheel and deal anybody and everybody for prospects, and right now we have 'em... I would love this.
November 14, 201312 yr How much are the Marlins committing to the roster for next season? They haven't officially said but the reports have it at 40 million or so.
November 15, 201312 yr LoMo getting significant interest from other clubs... Marlins are listening... https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/401185540256849920 http://joefrisaro.mlblogs.com/
November 15, 201312 yr I'm not surprised there's interest but I am not fully convinced we trade him. If the Marlins get offered anything good, they should dump Morrison. He is the next Jeremy Hermida.

He is the next Jeremy Hermida. I actually think he would rake in the right park and lineup. Yankees would be a really good fit with Tex health problems, short porch, and depth in the lineup.
November 15, 201312 yr David Freese apparently is being discussed.....any thougts? He will be 31 at the start of the season. Great guy for the clubhouse.
November 15, 201312 yr Author well that's kinda interesting. Arb-eligible in 2014 and FA in 2016 but by then Moran would be up anyway. He's not Mark Trumbo, but figure he wouldn't cost as much in prospects either.

We agree to disagree then. I think Morrison is a stiff.
November 15, 201312 yr He can be moved around when Moran comes up which I anticipate will be this year.
