Phillies Interested in Leo Nunez's Services

[Ramp]

Phillies reportedly asking the Marlins about Leo Nunez

Marlins want young pitching in return, Phillies have this

[Miamarlin21]

I doubt it but Cosart would be nice.
--------------------
Actually, Valle, May or Biddle would be nice instead of Cosart.

[MiamiHomer]

Need them to miss on Bell.

Trading Leo Nunez to the Phillies would be so awesome.

[Miamarlin21]

I just texted my scout friend with the Phillies to see if I can get anything out of him. I'm on it!

Like a few other top contenders, the Philadelphia Phillies seem pretty well stacked, with one exception: their bullpen. And according to Jerry Crasnick, the Phillies are interested in Florida Marlins closer Leo Núñez, who's not a brilliant pitcher but currently ranks third in the National League with 27 saves ...

verybody has a lot of young starting pitching, somewhere. It's a question of quality and I'm not seeing a lot of high-quality young starting pitching, unless you count Vance Worley (who the Phillies seem exceptionally unlikely to trade, considering his surprising success; he's got the best ERA in the rotation!).

Then again, if the Phillies are willing to trade two of their best young arms -- no matter how far from the majors they might be -- for Núñez, that's a deal the Marlins certainly have to consider.

The Leo Nunez talk won't start till Heath Bell is dealt. Texas,Philly,LAA all want him.

Whatever 2 don't get him will then turn to Leo Nunez. The reason why Philly is already calling because Texas seems to be the favorite and Nunez is gonna be cheaper anyways

The names the Marlins are looking at from the Phillies are

Vance Worley (Highly doubt they would deal him)
Mike Stutes(Another I doubt they would deal has nice stats out of the pen)
JC Ramirez
Trevor May
Julio Rodriguez
Brody Colvin

Worley for Nuñez would be amazing, wow. I'm sure that's a far fetch, but I believe he is an "extra" starter the phillies have. I wish this would happen.

Texted back and forth with my Phillies scout on Thursday.

Me:"Y'all want Leo?"
Him:"Maybe. Was in Toronto last 3 days. No cell. Let me know what we should do."
Me: "I've read anything from Leo to Hammer to Beltran."
Him:"Somewhat true but not entirely."

[emkayseven]

fuckin Toronto without their cell towers

[Beef]

Your response wasn't appropriate when he said let me know what we should do.

[Miamarlin21]

I think he meant he left it at home? He's not the best with phones.

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah, I didn't understand the transition between line 2 and 3.

[Miamarlin21]

Yeah, I didn't understand the transition between line 2 and 3.

I didn't want to suggest/couldn't think of anything to suggest to him, so I just said what I've read, trying to get some truth out of him.

[MiamiHomer]

I got from that response that he was asking what your thoughts were on Leo Nunez.
