Marlins acquire Prado & Phelps from the Yankees for Eovaldi, Jones and German

[tjfla]

I definitely think you gotta go with Koehler over Phelps. Phelps/Haren I'm not sure.

Hopefully Haren retires and we sign Shields.

Ya the rotation will have Koehler as the #4 with Phelps likely to be #5,then to the pen when Jose is back. Haren is pretty much gone,he has had talks with the FO and has told them no thanks.

Eovaldi/Jones were going to cost $8, so Prado was going to cost $3 million more, minus the $8 getting, payroll is DOWN $5 million and they dumped G. Jones in the process.

How are they doing this?

[tjfla]

8 fucking million! Prado is a 2/$14 player for the Marlins basically.

This is a huge win for Loria

8 million for Prado and lost 5 million(Jones) ? million(Eovaldi)

There is no fucking way Koehler and Phelps are the 4-5 starters for this team.

They are pedal to the metal.

They must have a Haren deal in place or know he is going to retire. If they ditch Haren and McGehee, with the salary savings in Yankees deal, it is cost neutral to sign James Shields

Guess that is how German got into the deal. Just like LAD got Austin Barnes included for paying 12.5 million

Wow, fully on board now.

At the very least, I would think they would intensity their push for Peavy now. Maybe get him on a two-year deal.

O i agree, I am just saying as of now. They were talking Haren/Jones to 3 teams but were put on the backburner

Koehler is the 5th Starter tho no matter

Peavy signed, but they will either have Haren as the 4, or go sign/trade for a real 3/4 starter for sure. Or go big with Shields.

Hopefully Loria is drunk and just gives Sherzer all the money

Whoops. Missed that Peavy signed.

Get Shields.

That would be awesome

NYY fans like the trade

Wait till they figure out Eovaldi is a bullpen arm and Jones is terrible

Can't blame them. They probably haven't seen much of Eovaldi and are looking at his peripherals.

Can't imagine him doing that well in that ballpark, though.

Awesome on the money end. Also mcGehee on trading block now. Right? Hopefully.

Probably not-still somewhat cheap and can backup 3B/1B and pinch hit
