2013 Trade Deadline Talk

[TheMendozaLine]

LOL @ all of you

[tjfla]

We all read the report that said Texas had got IFA cash from us however nothing in books yet however that could change.

Reports say that Texas and NYY are hot after Justin Ruggiano,either deal would include IFA Cash with us getting 2 prospects in return with 1 possibly ready for 2014(No Names to report tho)

Hatcher promptly optioned to Triple-A after the game tonight.

Frisaro has an article up about the trades up

Looks like they really wanted Withrow,like I was saying!! But with LAD taking on all of the salary we took the Sanchez/Wall package instead which wasn't that bad

Not to sure about his Cishek talk tho,while Miami would love Castellanos or even a Top Prospect from Boston to trade him,neither of the teams would pay that price.

A deal I have heard that we would consider from Detroit is Bruce Rondon,Avisail Garcia plus 1 or 2 more prospects(Low Level/High Upside) for Cishek but that we are not in any rush to move him

Instead of trading the international bonus pool slots, why not use them on...high upside international players?

Because this front office team has never really been big on signing international guys. Ozuna is probably the biggest (best) they have developed and brought to the bigs.
--------------------
Since their takeover in 2002, Beinfest and Co. have only signed four international players that made it to the big leagues: Vanden Hurk, Jhan Mariñez, Sandy Rosario and Ozuna.

Cause they would rather sign 10 guys for 150,000 and hope that 1 or more of them become something instead of signing 1 guy for 150,000 and have him spend 4 years in the DSL

Plus we can only trade half of our pool so even if we trade all our slots,we still have over 2 million to use

[Todd]

Most Latin American player sign when they are 16. And I doubt many, especially the high upside ones, spend 4 years in the DSL.

There is no excuse for the Marlins to be one of the least active teams in that market.

Specially in one of the largest Latin American communities in baseball.

I can't wait for Loria to sell, or leave or whatever. As long as he isn't part of this team anymore.

I don't think we've ever had a great, stable owner. We have to be the only team in MLB history.

[Beef]

I like the last sentence

[Mainge]

What a shitty league

They're not.

They sign lots of Latin American players, they sign 10 guys for what other teams spend on 1.

[Todd]

And that hasnt exactly been a fruitful strategy.

[Erick]

If we're not trading Cishek, can we at least trade Mike Dunn? Relievers shouldn't be considered as core players, especially when you have one of the worst records in baseball.

I don't think anyone considers Mike Dunn or Steve Cishek a core player, but the Marlins have them under control for 3 and 4 years respectively and they are both good above average pen arms. There is no reason to move them as they can simply keep them and given the low level of payrolls, it's not going to change things if they are making a few extra bucks next year.

Webb and Qualls? Different situations and move them. But unless overwhelmed, they should keep Cishek and Dunn for now. Especially Dunn because he isn't getting you much right now so all he can do is raise his stock.

Stanton is what they need to trade unless they intend to sign him for 6 years.
