Marlins Trade Deadline Thread: Comes And Goes Without A Move

I'm starting to think not much will happen for the Marlins with the recent stretch other than moving Nunez.

I'm starting to think not much will happen for the Marlins with the recent stretch other than moving Nunez.

Knowing us we will probably go get Wilson Betemit, and he would be our 3rd base solution for next year.

I was actually looking at video of Betemit yesterday, and he is actually pretty good from the left side; however from the right side he is terrible. Pretty sick at making bare handed plays too.

Can't wait to trade Leo, I've been waiting for this for a while now. Wonder what he nets us on the market.

Montero has no value once he's off the Yankees. His status is a prospect owes entirely to the new york hype machine. He's dioner navarro

that's a brutal comp

[MiamiHomer]

I don't think much will come back for Leo since the market is full of good RP this year.

If the Marlins were closer in the standings it would have been pretty cool if they went after Aramis Ramirez since his team option for next season doesn't vest.

Btw get ready to hear Hanley bitch and moan as soon as Leo is traded, they are very close.

I would have loved Aramis, wish we could have him.

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah, I don't care about them bitching and moaning.

[Ramp]

Thought I read that Aramis had no interest in being traded anyway (think he has a no trade clause)

His family currently is staying with him in Chicago but they go back to Santo Domingo in August because his children have school. They said he could be moved in August if he clears waivers or the team that claims him could make a deal but Miami also happens to be extremely close so who knows if that would have swayed him to waive the no trade.

He can bring his family on vacation to Miami for the next couple of weeks, I doubt they'll be complaining.

I'm almost certain he would waive his clause to come down here, specially if his family lives in DR.

[Ramp]

Except for the fact he already said he was not interested in waiving his no trade clause for any place.

Otherwise, you're right on
--------------------
and furthermore, if he got through waiver to us in August, we wouldn't pick up the tab

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah he's owed around 5mil for the rest of the season.

MIAMI — Boosted by their July hot streak, the Marlins are closing in on reaching .500. In about a week, the organization will have a better feel if they are realistically in playoff contention or not. Either way, the organization is prepared to stay the course with what they have as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches.

Barring an offer that is too tempting to pass up, the club is leaning towards retaining what they have as they try to build momentum in the second half. If they can add a third baseman or pitcher, they will consider it. But not at the expense of a core player. Ricky Nolasco has been mentioned in rumors. But according to multiple sources, Nolasco is not on the market.

A reliever who has been speculated to be available is Randy Choate. Signed through 2012, the Marlins have little interest in moving their left-handed relief specialist. In the NL East, there are so many quality left-handed hitters the Marlins like to match Choate up against. So even if they are out of contention, it is doubtful he will be moved. And he would only be dealt for an attractive offer.

A year from now, however, if the Marlins are out of contention, then they may more realistically try to move Choate. In the meantime, the Marlins see Choate as a key part of their bullpen for the rest of this year and next year, when the franchise moves into their new ballpark.

Marlins likely to stay course

Montero has no value once he's off the Yankees. His status is a prospect owes entirely to the new york hype machine. He's dioner navarro

As an 18 y/o in A ball, he put up an .868 OPS.
As a 19 y/o in A+ and AA he put up a combined .951 OPS.
As a 20 y/o in AAA he put up a .870 OPS.

Dioner Navarro had a .750 OPS in the minors.

Maybe he can't play catcher and his status takes a hit. But to say he's Dioner Navarro is seriously stupid.

[Beef]

I believe he might be trying to say that he does not want a catcher who did not go to college

[Big Z]

The more I see Worley pitch, the less I see him coming down here for Leo.

What a game he is pitching today at Wrigley.

We'd be blessed to have this kid.

Just read an article posted by Joe Capz that if Nuñez were to be traded, Mujica would become our closer.

*Quote thing is not working for me.

-The Tigers are close to acquiring Wilson Betemit for two prospects, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter links). Kansas City would receive two prospects in the deal. Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star originally reported that a trade appeared imminentI suck.(on Twitter). The Brewers, Angels, and Marlins had expressed interest in Betemit recently.
