Jayson Stark: Marlins Expected to Keep Josh Johnson

[Marlins11]

I'd be down for that, honestly.

[TheMendozaLine]

Throw in Leonys Martín (to appease our Cuban fans) and we've got a deal.

[Miamarlin21]

That may be pushing it for JJ right now, Mendoza.

[Marlins11]

But I mean, that would blow the FO out of the water, so that may be what it takes.

[Bucklin12]

Any deal centered on Olt and some other significant piece seems like a pretty nice haul. I'm not a Perez fan, but it's fair. Honestly though, I think Brad Hand would be just as good if not better.

[The_Godfather]

Mike Olt and Perez for JJ? F it. I'm in. After we move Hanley to the Blue Jays in some sort of package involving D'Arnaud and do whatever it takes to get rid of Heath Bell. Now that's fun.

I don't think 2012 JJ brings that haul

I disagree.

If Hamels and Grienke are off the market he could.

I'm not that fond of Martin Perez, though.

[Bobbob1313]

I don't think 2012 JJ brings that haul

Last 14 starts (.296 BABIP), he has a 3.26 ERA with 79 K's in 88 1/3 innings.

Basically "2012 JJ" doesn't have as much trade value because of six starts at the beginning of the year when he had a .448 BABIP.

I'm not saying you're wrong; his value is likely lower right now. But it's just stupid that a lot of people (including anonymous scouts and execs, reportedly) are ready to bury him.

[HUGG]

Those aren't ace numbers though.

7th in WAR, 6th in FIP. The above ERA would ranked 16th thanks to the likes of a bunch of guys like Kyle Loshe and Ryan Vogelsong greatly overperforming their peripherals.

[HUGG]

I stand corrected.

[MiamiHomer]

Only a matter of time till he gets traded to Texas for Olt right?

I would think so, unfortunately :-\

There are now 2 major league ready arms waiting to start (Turner and Eovaldi)

I wish they would get rid of Nolasco, even if we just get a Bourjos and a prospect.
