DolphinJohn Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nats say he's available. Probably set to make around 5/100 What would it take, and could the Marlins swing it? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DolphinJohn Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Would Nats trade him within the division? Maybe they wouldn't see the Fish as enough of a threat…... Then, POW!! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I would love to have him on the Fish, but the Nats would probably ask for more from us simply because we are in the same division. He's coming off a 5.2 fWAR season, but is projected to regress pretty heavily into a 2.9 fWAR season. I'd still take him because I feel like his peripherals show that he's closer to a 3.5-4 win guy, which would look great in our rotation.

Jokersgoon Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I always thought that whole not trading within the division is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I always thought that whole not trading within the division is stupid. It makes sense for a contending team. A bottom of the barrel team? Who cares...trade to the highest bidder. The Nationals are trying to return to the playoffs next year and would rather not see the pitcher they traded on the team they play 19 times. Maybe the impact is a bit larger from position players since they might actually play all 19 games, but a starter should still get 4-5 starts.

DolphinJohn Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Well, let's say they would trade with the Marlins, what would they have to give up and could they put the pieces together to get it done? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If we got Zimmermann couldn't we win some type of award or hall of fame recognition for having two consecutive seasons where our opening day roster had a pitcher who pitched a no hitter on the last day of the previous season?

miamimarlinsrjp Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I would absolutely love Zimmermann in our rotation but realistically could we make that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nats have made Zimmerman and Doug Fister available. Fister isn't quite as good as Zim, but he'd be a solid rotation piece and would cost a lot less. Zim costs $16.5m next year, then is a free agent in 2016. Fister will be last time arbitration eligible next year, coming off a $7.2m season. He'll also be a free agent in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
