Trade Deadline Watch 2016

[fauowls44]

Hopefully the Marlins can land another starter with controllable years left after losing Rea.

Nightengale on MLBN mentioned possible interest in Jon Niese :\

Pitt has been one of the teams they been talking to all day Niese,Liriano,Locke,Freese but no real traction since Pitt still sees themself in the race

Then why the f did they trade Melancon?

[tjfla]

Then why the f did they trade Melancon?

Cause he is a FA and they can move Watson to closer and Rivero into Watson's spot

So instead of letting him walk they replace him with someone who can help this year AND 5 more years

This is why they are talking with teams but not big into trading a Niese for a Urena and more.

TB is starting to make trades now

Guyer to Cleveland for cheap too

No Surprise but need sources

#Marlins working to add starting pitcher after sending Colin Rea back to #Padres. They had interest in Hellickson before Cashner deal.

Hech and Castillo + for Moore or odorizzi would be swell.

[tjfla]

Back talking with Philly on Hellickson. Castillo and GCL pitchers are being discussed. They prefer a controllable arm tho

TB has no interest in Hech for a big arm. TB is mentioned as spot for Gallo for a SP. Tampa asking Texas for names like Gallo and Profar for their arms

[fish16]

I'd love our team down the stretch if we were able to get Hellickson. Him and conley as 2/3 moves everyone in the rotation to the spot they kind of should be in.

Jose
Hellickson
Conley
Cashner
Koehler

With our lineup and bullpen , thats a playoff team.

so are we almost 100% to add another starter within the next hour?

[rmc523]

Jayson Stark is saying the Braves' Hunter Cervenka is a lefty reliever we might be looking at.

[tjfla]

Alot of names being discussed but they want the best guy possible. They dont wanna get Ivan Nova now and at 3:50 get called by Philly so waiting

Braves are the same team that said they wouldn't take any of the 13 prospects we offered

Can't say 100% but with Castillo back they have a guy to be a centerpiece of a trade now

[fauowls44]

Hopefully Castillo is only dealt for a controllable starter.

[tjfla]

Then why the f did they trade Melancon?

Pirates going after Matt Moore now

[fish16]

nah we if we can get a top-mid rotation guy like Hellickson you pull that trigger and run. Cashner being our secondary SP addition would be enormous.

Hopefully Castillo is only dealt for a controllable starter.

Thats what they want but at this point they likely would take FA too. They are going for it this year

We messed up 2 weeks ago before Hellickson destroyed us. We discussed Castillo and more for Hellickson but thought it was too much to pay. After he got done shutting us down,the price went up alot.

Thing is looks like we are battling Toronto for him. Alot better prospects there

[fish16]

who are some of the other SP names we're looking at besides Hellickson?
