SilverBullet Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Is Tampa still selling? Tampa seems to be like us, in that they probably should be selling but they've played well enough as of late that they're probably cautious buyers, as in one to two minor additions without blowing out the bank.

Wild Card Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Over the last eight days, Steve Cishek of the Miami Marlins has recorded six saves. That's certainly drawn a lot of added attention to the reliever, who seems to be the most likely member of the Marlins to be dealt in the next few days -- assuming the team makes any moves at all. ESPN Insider Paul Swydan suggests that the Marlins would be best served by dealing away Cishek now, and worrying about the future of their bullpen at some point down the line. "The Marlins have a good bullpen, and that won't change if Cishek is dealt. Even if it does, the bullpen is supposed to be the final focus of attention in any rebuilding plan anyway, and good relief pitchers can be found via free agency every year," Swydan writes. "In the past two years, cheap effective relievers found in free agency have included Koji Uehara, Joakim Soria, Pat Neshek, Burke Badenhop and Jason Grilli. With a discerning eye, bullpen help is not hard to find. And so, if teams nibble on Cishek and Mike Dunn, the Marlins need to make them available and try to get back some infielders. They're not likely to find any franchise cornerstones, but given that their starting first baseman, second baseman and shortstop have combined for 0.2 WAR, any potentially solid players could provide a boost." However, as Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald recently pointed out, the Marlins desperately want to lock up Giancarlo Stanton to a long-term contract, and "after watching the Marlins trade teammates simply to unload salary during his time in the organization, (Stanton) has made it known that he wants to see the team start showing franchise stability and a commitment to winning. As in now. Trading closer Steve Cishek... might send the wrong message." http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/mlb/rumors/post?id=17605 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 One way to fix that would be to trade Cishek for a major leaguer. The Marlins don't seem interested in trading Cishek anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piazza31 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Did Mike Piazza come out of retirement and sign with Arizona? Seeing Piazza play again would be awesome. I'm sure he can still outhit half the Mets lineup.... And ours as well. Arizona seems to match up with us- bullpen arms available, and a surplus of middle infielders. Hill, prado, Gregorias, Pennington and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Again the BS of Stanton going bananas with a Cishek trade. Here's how I see it. . . Lets take the extreme perfect world scenario of Stanton absolutely wanting to stay here and desperately hoping that Loria extends him a major contract. Even in that unlikely case, if we could trade Cishek for a major league ready second baseman, Stanton should welcome that. Trading Cishek would not be a fire sale, it would not upset Stanton. If Stanton wasn't tweeting negativity when his buddy Nolasco was traded , he won't get upset if we traded Cishek for a reasonable return. Also, inversely, it's not like keeping Cishek is the one thing that's gonna make Stanton go "Oh. They kept Cishek? Well hell to the yes, now I wanna stay here!"
