March 21, 201511 yr I feel like there's no way this is true about Dunn. Hand is probably getting traded soon.
March 21, 201511 yr yeah trading dunn doesn't make sense (recent 2 yr deal) unless we getting something really juicy in return. Does texas even have anything really juicy?
March 21, 201511 yr I hope this doesnt mean the marlins actually think McKirahan is viable/as good as dunn...?
March 21, 201511 yr Author I really doubt Dunn goes anywhere. This is a lot more about Hand than it is about Dunn.
March 21, 201511 yr I'm guessing for prospects? Bc looking at that roster I dont see anyone we need. And way would we get rid of our 2 main lefties.
March 21, 201511 yr Why would Dunn agree to a two year deal and then get traded? They feels like real sleazy work by the Marlins if they did trade him. Hand and McKirahan makes sense. Any kind of prospects in return would be great. I like Hand, but he doesn't have a spot on the team and is out of options.
March 21, 201511 yr I know this is about Hand and Dunn but can a rule v guy be traded at this point? I'm guessing yes but there has to be a rule about that because if he gets traded does the same rule v rules apply? Anyone know?
March 21, 201511 yr I have no idea how to value Hand and McKirahan. Could we even get a top 10 Rangers prospect? I feel like anything we get will be mid-level reliever types and maybe a high upside low ceiling low minors IF

Think about who you would be willing to give up to acquire Brad Hand.
March 22, 201511 yr The Rangers are giving the Marlins a HAND with their roster questions. I'll show myself out

March 22, 201511 yr Author Hand is probably worth more than many anticipate IMO. Maybe in a different situation. Teams know we basically NEED to trade him since otherwise he'd have to be DFA'd, so they'll offer a lot less because they and we both know that we're better off getting something than nothing.

March 22, 201511 yr The only way I see Dunn involved in the trade is if the Marlins are serious about keeping McKirahan as a lefty in the pen, but its pretty obvious the Marlins want to get something in return for Hand.
March 22, 201511 yr Hand is probably worth more than many anticipate IMO. why, because he's a marlin?

Teams know we basically NEED to trade him since otherwise he'd have to be DFA'd, so they'll offer a lot less because they and we both know that we're better off getting something than nothing. Not at all. They could easily say, "Eh, we'll just give McKirahan back and go with our guy." And they'd be right to do so if it came down to it. Hand is a legit fifth starter and a lefty to boot... I actually prefer he stick around.
March 23, 201511 yr Idk if anyone saw the Clark Spencer article, but now it looks like Hand and McKirahan being looked at. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/fish_bytes/2015/03/rangers-in-talks-with-marlins-for-brad-hand-rule-5-pick-andrew-mckirahan-could-be-dealt.html
March 23, 201511 yr See if Jurickson Profar is available now, considering he's going to miss his second straight year.
