2014-2015 Marlins Offseason Rumors

[sports24/7]

I don't see any hurry in trading Salty. He's a great locker room guy, who has handled the young pitchers well, so why sell low on him with no real replacement waiting in the wings? If the Marlins plan to trade for an all-star caliber catcher, then fine, but it's not like there are a ton of great catchers in baseball where the Marlins can easily upgrade with him. I'd give him another year and see if he can become the player they hoped they were getting when they signed him.

Wonder what TEX would give for Eovaldi or Heaney

Well the plan is Realmuto starting next year so while they probably will keep Salty for now but if someone made a nice offer they would deal him

Jones is the one they wanna deal

I like him as a locker room guy but he might be the worst defensive catcher I've seen. Misses balls he should catch, has a horrible arm, and is not great at framing a pitch on the black. I don't know how that helps the young guys. If at least he could hit I would understand, as most catchers are either great at one or the other, but he did neither last year.

He would be a nice back up to Realmuto though.

Redmond on MLB Network just said they expect Fernandez to be back late June/July. Nothing new, but good to hear it again.

Joel Sherman saying that with Yankees' budget, if Headley goes to NYY they'll be out on all the big pitchers and will go with Pirela/Refsnyder at 2B. Can't imagine that's the route they take

So it's clear at this point that $65 million from any team for Headley is not happening?

frisaro saying we're close to dealing for a bat

From what I hear #Marlins may be closer to dealing for a bat, maybe Morneau, Gordon, Morse? than a pitcher like Miley

[Bobbob1313]

trading anything of significance for Morneau seems like such a misallocation of resources...

I would say Heaney is really our only "prospect of significance". So if it's a prospect deal for Morneau and he's not included, I'll be fine with it.

I guess it's not us since we are closer to dealing for a bat.

I'm fine with pretty much anyone not named Heaney, Kolek, or German

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #Marlins, #Rangers out on Miley. Process of elimination points to #RedSox unless another team is involved.

@BNightengale: The #Marlins still in picture for #Dbacks Miley

Again with the back and forth

I don't see the Marlins having the same trade assets as the Sox.
