Marlins Trade Deadline Thread: Comes And Goes Without A Move

[lou]

I like the idea of getting a supp. 2nd rounder for Infante. Free Hand/Rasmussen level prospect if no team is willing to flip a guy in their top 7-10 prospect range for him. Smart.

I do too, but my concern is that he accepts arbitration

[lou]

Always a threat, but based off his 09-10, and he is starting to figure it out this year (.719 July, .902 post in the short month sample size), he is still a valuable player adding in his defense. He'd likely find a 2-3 year deal in free agency average $3-4 million range a season as Orlando Hudson and Orlandao Cabrera have been doing for years.

Not a big deal either way and he helps protect Dominguez (and Coghlan) in the short term which does have value, but this is probably fine. We'll see though.

Odds are really low here but it is a 3rd baseman:

Teams are still calling the #Marlins about Leo Nunez. But for now, they are still being told he’s unavailable.

#marlins contacted about 8 of their guys (but not Hanley!). not anxious to trade major players. infante could be 1 to go

@jonmorosi #Pirates are interested in many bats right now, sources say. One of them: Omar Infante of the #Marlins. // Poor use of "bat"!

Haha

If Infante will indeed be a type B I doubt the Marlins would offer arbitration.

[tjfla]

Gonna be slow for us

We want to much for our guys is what I am hearing

Infante,Choate and Nunez are still ones I hear are possible,problem is no one thinks we will offer Infante arbitration.

We got calls on Nolasco,Anibal,Choate,Sanches,Nunez,Dobbs,Helms and Infante(Just to touch on the 8 guys)


Heard about maybe Infante and Choate to Pittsburgh but nothing yet?

[MiamiHomer]

As expected, Marlins don't do anything.

[Party]

Good.

Sign a couple FAs in the offseason and we've got a solid team.

[MiamiHomer]

But enough to compete with Atlanta and Philly?

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

JCRMarlinsbeat: Pres of baseball ops Larry Beinfest says #Marlins were looking to add, but no interest in rentals. Nothing close in the final hour.

Probably not on paper. But they should not plan the next 3 years assuming both teams will be better.

The second wild card will be an option next year.

[MiamiHomer]

I'm just not very optimistic at this point for whatever reason.
