Selling Time: Marlins Trade Deadline Discussion

[HUGG]

I'd be fine with putting Bell on waivers and hoping someone claims him.

[The_Godfather]

Am I the only one that'd be down to do Nolasco, Bell for Bourjos and a spect? Maybe a B/B- spect (not sure they even bring in that much!)

I'd move them both to the Angels for just the b- level prospect.

[Big Z]

I LOVE Bourjos. He'd do a tremendous job covering ground in CF, he has some pop, blazing speed and he hasn't reached his full potential yet.

Nothing to really report today

Most teams seem to be looking at other pitchers,Texas knows what we want for JJ. Angels seem to have gained some interest as well however not sure if a Bourjos plus prospects would get it done(That is what they seem to be offering to everyone)

Toronto has minor interest in John Buck with Arencibia out but not sure if we would deal him even tho his contract is big

Also whoever is saying LoMo will be dealt it won't happen,he is going to be our 1B starting next year and into the future

[tr305]

Lomo is a big reason why this team floundered.

Come on...if the Marlins actually received an offer for Buck and don't move him, I honestly would have to start believing I could do a better job as GM of the team. I find not moving Buck hard to believe though.

^I was about to say the same thing.

[Ramp]

fuck Peter Bourjos

don't get the love for that guy at all

No offer pretty much just Toronto calling to see if available. More than likely they will just trade for Kottaras who was just DFA

[Big Z]

TJ, anything going on with Ricky Nolasco and Heath Bell?

What's the word going around, is JJ staying or leaving?

[Namaste]

7th highest payroll in MLB

-71 run differential

What an asshole Loria is to sell at the deadline!!!!!1111111one1

Bell is same old story teams like him but hate his contract,if we pick up some of it he could be moved especially to a Cali Team

Nolasco is still like Option 3 or 4 for teams,if teams miss out on an arm they could make an offer but who knows?

JJ is in holding pattern until Greinke,Lee,Tampa arms are figured out,the issue with him is we see him having Greinke Value(3 or 4 prospects) and others seeing him as a #3 starter. If Texas doesn't get anyone and are willing to trade Olt he will be there fast

I am assuming Olt and 1-2 pieces, no? Maybe a pitching prospect?

This is considering Lee is off the market and Greinke & Shields are traded.

I see Greinke going to ATL and Shields to LAA.

[tjfla]

Yep more than likely Olt,pitching prospect and ? They are looking for at least 3 guys all of whom are projected to be in the Majors. No projects who may be something

Texas has no problem trading Olt,I think this issue is they prefer Lee or Greinke over JJ.

Carlos Lee could be included in a JJ to Texas deal as well(if he hasn't been dealt yet)

Interesting. I'm all in for not looking for projects that may be something in return for JJ. Olt has been solid throughout his short minor league career.

Any other serious suitors that you've heard of for JJ?

If we get a ML ready pitching prospect from TX for JJ, I am assuming Nolasco is gone. Would love to know what he's worth out in the open market.
