2014-2015 Marlins Offseason Rumors

[Miamarlin21]

I like Ozuna, but I want to see another full year before an extension is discussed.

[marlinsfan24]

I feel like it would be beneficial if Ozuna lost a few pounds playing center. But that's just me.

[Mainge]

Maybe if he loses a step. But he moved around pretty good out there last year

### Add these names to the short list of free agent pitchers of interest to the Marlins: Francisco Liriano (7-10, 3.38 for Pittsburgh) and Brandon Morrow (42-43, 4.28 in eight seasons for Seattle and Toronto).
The Marlins, seeking a veteran starter, also have discussed trading Nathan Eovaldi or a quality pitching prospect to Arizona for left-hander Wade Miley (38-35, 3.79 in 3 1/2 seasons).
### Though some hitters haven’t responded well from being beaned, Jeffrey Loria said Giancarlo Stanton’s season-ending pitch in the face caused him “no concern” in contract talks because “his vision was not affected.”… The Marlins signed versatile infielder Reid Brignac (a .222 career hitter but a good defender) as a potential replacement for Ed Lucas.
### Marlins president David Samson admits the Stanton contract is frightening, besides being exciting, in this respect: “This is a permanent bet on a player the likes of which we’ve never made before. We always had the ability to change our mind or press the reset button. With this contract, you don’t have that ability. We better be right, and Giancarlo gives us the impression that we are. We talked a lot about that internally. [Mike Hill and Dan Jennings]... their legacy and our legacy are on the line. We’re married to him now like we’ve never been married to a player.”

Never been a fan of Eovaldi, so I don't mind that they're discussing him. However, I think Eovaldi>Miley.

[Bobbob1313]

I think Miley's a lot better than Eovaldi.

Marlins went out and got that big bat.

[marlinsfan24]

I think Miley's a lot better than Eovaldi.

I think Miley is better, but not a lot better. But I still wouldn't trade Eovaldi for Miley. I'd rather have both. Trade Nicolino.
--------------------
I'm also a fan of Liriano, though he'd cost us a first round pick.

[thatnewguy]

Disco/Nicolino + Urena/Conley for Miley.
--------------------
Actually, no, scratch that. He's not good enough to trade pitching depth for when we should be trading that for position players.

Liriano: no thanks
Morrow: no thanks

[HUGG]

I wouldn't mind Morrow at a low-risk price. Velocity is still there on his fastball, good K rate in his limited innings. I think he'd pitch well if he stays healthy.

[Erick]

I like Liriano.

[Big Z]

For you H2R lovers, looks like he's going back to Boston per Heyman.

[thatnewguy]

--------------------
Manny is still available guys.

[Big Z]

Ike Davis to A's per Jon Heyman. Just an FYI

[thatnewguy]

They're gonna turn him into a superstar.
